"Earth needs humans to figure out our shared destiny, says Alan Seid, whose interest is both the outer and inner dimensions of sustainability. Outside there's ecology, social systems and economics (e.g., in Permaculture). Inside is the psychological dimension of personal and group values and intentions. How do we meet people where they are, engender respect, promote crucial information-sharing, and motivate change?"

Alan Seid introduces an approach to positive change in the world that honors as much knowledge and wisdom from as many different sources as possible. Using Ken Wilber's Integral Framework, which places all fields of knowledge within a unified map, this model informs sustainability both in theory and practice, and gives us a framework for the work of creating integrated and whole lives. The workshop will interweave fundamentals of Permaculture, Non-Violent Communication, and Financial Integrity – all within the context of Integral Sustainability.

Cost: $225, which includes 2 catered lunches.
Early bird special: $175 if registered by May 23rd (further discount available for those who want to have lunch on their own).

In the course of the interview on Peak Moment TV with Janaia Donaldson, Alan Seid shared many of the concepts that are central to his vision of Integral Sustainability. One Peak Moment fan commented, "What an amazing video - of all the great Peak Moment video's I've seen, this one really resonates with me. The depth and clarity of the topics covered, unearthed new and different ways of thinking - well done!" Watch the interview here: http://www.wordpress.peakmoment.tv/conversations/?p=16

Alan has a unique ability to understand and teach some of the most important ideas and practices of sustainability. He is a visionary as well as a grounded, clear and engaging educator as well as walking the talk with real poise and integrity.
