Upcoming Pax Educare Events

and

Here's what's Happening:
February 17-19, 2012 - Mary
Lee Morrison will be facilitating a workshop at the February's
National Peace Academy's "Peacebuilding Peacelearning Conference" on "Creating
Local, Resilient and Adaptive Communities: Transitioning to a
Post Carbon and Tightly Woven World ".
April 21-22, 2012 - Mary Lee
Morrison presents a workshop for the National Peace Academy's
Certificate Program - "Building
Resilience In a Time of Transition: Imaging a Fossil Free Future"
Location: Adelphi University, Manhattan Center (New York, NY)
Course Instructors: Mary Lee Morrison and Tony Jenkins
”The rise and fall of images of the future precedes or
accompanies the rise and fall of cultures. As long as a society’s
image is positive and flourishing, the flower of culture is in
full bloom. Once the image begins to decay and lose its vitality,
however, the culture does not long survive" (Fred Polak,
Dutch futurist, translated by E. Boulding, 1973).
“Preferred futuring initiates a large paradigm shift,
taking us from being powerless victims to being empowered and
connected to our deep passions and motivated to work together
to create a future we want. It means we are responsible and cannot
blame others.” (Lawrence Lippitt, 1998)
Images of the future motivate behavior in the present, according
to historical, cultural and psychological evidence (E Boulding,
1988). We cannot work for a world we cannot imagine. In this
time of transition of our global planet, it seems imperative
that we develop the capacity to vision a world very different
from that we now know and inhabit, and move beyond fear and despair.
Based on the work of futurists Elise Boulding, Warren Zeigler
and others, participants in this "futures workshop" will
work together to construct a positive world 30 years into the
future and, through several visualization techniques and analysis,
create action steps for the present to work toward this imaged
world. For more information please click here
