Quick announcement. I don’t do a lot of in-person events these days, so when I do I like to make them known. Also, I’m starting separate sections (“Charles Eisenstein announcements” and one “Charles Eisenstein essays”) so you know which is which in your inbox.

Boulder: The Next Five Years

Event description: Tom Atlee once said, ‘Things are getting better and better and worse and worse faster and faster.” The next five years will see economic, political, social, and ecological turmoil, unlike anything that my generation or even my parents’ generation have experienced in this country. This evening, I will talk about where we must operate from –what consciousness, what story, what mythology – in order to ride these challenges into a more beautiful world and a more alive one. Together, we will also attune to and practice a specific transformative tool. The rehearsal is over.

The event organizers couldn’t accommodate self-determined fees on their platform. So, we have a $33 ticket price, but you can call the box office to pay any amount (more, less, or even zero) and still get a ticket. Information and tickets here.

Austin: The Independent National Convention

I’m just one of many speakers at INC, alongside Tulsi Gabbard, Dennis Kucinich, and tons of others including my friend Zach Bush, who is a terrific speaker. You can get $50 off with this promo code: $50OFFMOREBEAUTIFULWORLD. Register here.

Instagram

The organizer of INC asked if we could have a conversation on Instragram Live. I thought he meant on his channel, but it turned out he wanted me to host him. “You have 67,000 followers,” he said. I was quite shocked, since I never pay attention to IG. I didn’t even know how to get on IG Live. But I figured it out. I was like, “You mean I can just click this button and start spouting out my thoughts any time I want?” Imagine that. I like that kind of spontaneous, free-form setup. So I’ve decided to do it again soon. Not sure when. But soon. My Instagram user name is charles_eisenstein.

And Finally

My last essay, How the Environmental Movement Can Find Its Way Again, I consider one of the most important I’ve done recently. Please read it and spread it. Also, on a similar theme, a podcast interview with Alpha Lo, titled Water and the Living Earth.

Hi Charles, I also agree that your latest essay on ‘How can the Environmental movement find its way again’ is an important piece so I have shared it far and wide. As an ex Green Party candidate here in the UK I have become disillusioned with the Green Party especially their stance on the vax and the 1 dimensional vision of CO2 being the only issue. I am politically homeless now. Thank u for connecting the dots with water being at the core of our existence. Dr Tom Cowans reminded me during the COVID thing how important water is, particularly structured water. I now have the language to make a reasonable explanation of the ignored part of being Green, caring for the environment and reducing toxins etc and bringing the focus back from gases in the clouds to the reality here and now on our doorsteps. Thanks.

Hello Charles. Thank you for all you give - your good heart expressed through your clarity of thought, your sweet compassionate soul. I've been wanting to share this with you for some time, and the actual time has arrived! I wrote this in September 2019 and it is, to me, ever more relevant. I hope it finds resonance with you.

The Quickening

Something is coming

Do you hear it?

Do you see it?

Do you feel it?

Something is coming

Know it

Love it

Be it

Something huge is coming

sending shock waves ahead

rippling through us

ripping like a love hurricane

shaking all our structures to pieces

Nothing of the old will survive

inside or out

Taking no hostages

creating the new as it moves

it will vaporize all illusion

like mist in the soft morning sun
