I have known Lynne Twist for almost 8 years and am a huge fan of her work as both a global advocate and spiritually motivated force for good in our world.
We arranged a teleseminar a few weeks ago so people could “meet” Lynne in advance of her appearance at The Unity Center on the following Sunday.
I had attended the Symposium previously and asked Lynne to explain what it was so the congregation could get a sense of why it’s so important to The Center to host this Symposium.
Here’s what Lynne said: “…I should say that the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, in particular the Achuar and the Shuar people told us when we had our very, very initial encounter with them back in 1995 – they called us to come to them and that’s the kind of story that you’re referring to – they wanted partnership. They wanted help in preserving their land and territory, but they also knew and told us very clearly that the most important work anyone can do…to preserve the Amazon and the fragile ecosystems of this planet, was to go back where we came from and change the dream of the modern world – a dream that’s currently rooted in accumulation, acquisition, commercialism, consumption – a dream that has us lose our way, has us disconnect from our soul. So, their real mandate to us was to change the dream of the modern world.”
Wow…a pretty big job! I absolutely love the mission of the Pachamama Alliance: to bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just presence on the planet. It’s completely in alignment with our mission of inspiring personal greatness – transforming our world with love.
The number of registrations we have received so far is impressive. The Symposium will be here at The Unity Center a week from Saturday on October 30 from 9:00am to 3:00pm. We decided to make it FREE so there would be no barrier for anyone who wants to be here that day.
You can still register at www.theunitycenter.net. We’ll have lunch and snacks available for you to buy or you can always bring your own lunch. This is going to be great!
