This Wednesday, from 11 am till noon, learn why September 16th is an auspicious day. As well, we will provide an update on what is truly happening in our forests in light of recent government announcements, with feedback on the letters we wrote calling for a New Forest Framework, Ecosystem Management and Water Protection. Plus, we will review the key transformational moments presented in our Season One webinars and explore how we can create a more positive future. 

Joining in this information packed webinar will be two of Canada’s foremost practitioners in reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, Merrell-Ann Phare and Michael Miltenberger. They will discuss how they are creatively transforming legal and political approaches to reconciliation in Canada. Other special guests include Robert Sandford, Global Water Futures Chair in Water and Climate Security at the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health and Victoria Symphony principal cellist, Brian Yoon, performing a Gigue from one of Bach’s Unaccompanied Cello Suites..

Next week, September 23rd, you won't want to miss this uplifting webinar entitled, The Art and Science of Collective Consciousness. Frances Litman will interview two fascinating guests who will share in an inspiring program that will bring much needed joy, hope and positivity to these challenging times. 

Last Wednesday, award-winning author and philosopher, Dr. Kathleen Dean Moore, launched Season Two of Creative Solutions for a New World – Climate and Artist Series with an inspiring and creative presentation, entitled The Barns Burnt Down, a title based on a Haiku poem. The feedback has been wonderful.

Kathleen Dean Moore explains how global catastrophes have burnt down business as usual scenarios and exposed violence and injustice that has supported capitalist extractive industries with the status quo an avenue for disaster. She explores a global re-framing of where, why, and how we live with her moral insistence that we use the post pandemic period to rebuild ethical structures so we get it right this time.

"I watched last Wednesday’s webinar yesterday and WOW – what a start to Season Two! I moved my yoga class to Mondays so I can watch this series live. Congratulations on your amazing work! I so appreciate what you’re doing."
