Surviving & Thriving at the End of Capitalism: Embodying Regenerative Economies

September 7, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

with Dawn Haney, Lisa Moore and René Rivera

As global capitalism grinds toward a transition, alternatives are cropping up: land trusts, cooperatives, wealth transfer and reparations, everyday anti-capitalism, and gift economics. What are these regenerative economies? How do they offer an immediate antidote to capitalism? How can mindfulness practices help us start to embody these economic ideas in our own lives and communities right now?

In this daylong, you will learn to apply Buddhist concepts of interdependence and interbeing, developing an embodied sense of how to enact and grow these economies. This workshop includes guided meditation, interactive activities, a panel on regenerative economies, and discussions.
