Hi from Nice, France. I have to follow from afar…sadly, geography being what it is.
Whilst recognising that big events cost lots of money and time to organise, for many people, 600 bucks is so out of reach. This is not a complaint. It is what it is. I just really hope that this -and other like events -can really spill over and flood and infuse into the lives of those people who cannot barely dream of attending a weekend costing this amount of money. (Not taking into account the transport costs.)
I believe we need these people on board - at least those wanting and yearning for a transformative weekend too.
Wishing you all a deep and wonderful and time. Let it spill out everywhere ….🌸🦋❣️🤗🙋🏼♀️🌈✨
Aye thats good stuff. Rainbow Gatherings are kinda meant to be something like this, I went to one, but alas people just cant seem to get into the giving mindset, everyone is still running on scarcity and capitalism in their minds background.. Id love to start my own small local events and intend to. No money required
This sounds like such an amazing event. i reside in BC and that makes it even more significant to me. What makes me sad,really sad is that there are so many amazing events going on around the globe but there those of us who cannot afford to attend even though in our own lives we may have a great deal to offer to the world in other ways.
i want to add to my comment. i absolutely love and admire Charles Eisenstein and Zak Bush. For anyone who is not from BC and gets to go to this beautiful place with these two remarkable men, i am happy for you and trust that this event will fill you with a light that you will be sharing with the world wherever you go.
What if every single thought, word, conference, festival and every single conversation and interaction, between people and even in our own imagination, what if every single time we imagine the beautiful new world, we are watering it with our loving attention? Could it be that simple? Billions of us dreaming of what's possible, billions of unique loving frequencies all in resonance, gestating our new world? What happens when we ponder the possibility that even a single loving thought makes a difference? What if our love is more powerful than we know??
Yes, beautiful actions all of them, and a gazillion more, even typing a reply, all made even more powerful when done from joy and inspiration, the joy that comes from envisioning /feeling our new world taking shape thru our very actions and imaginings 😍❤️🌍🤙🏽
No disrespect intended, but all I see in the photos are a bunch of white privileged mostly young people pampering themselves at a weekend spa setting. I would rather know that that amount of money each of them are spending would go to a really good cause, like helping poor, starving war- torn people.
Yeah, good point, I took a look at the pix and words. From what I have read of Charles in the past he probably regards the event as strongly adding vibes to the morphic resonance he hopes will change the world. IMO we are heading towards what John Michael Greer has written about in his books The Long Descent, The Retro Future, The Ecotechnic Future. Not morphic resonantly pretty. Or maybe we are in the windup before the return of Jesus of Nazareth. Something is brewing.
Yikes Charles! $600 for a weekend! Costs a lot of money these days to become a "new human". I think I'll go shovel some chicken poop into my compost and get my gardens ready for spring (southern hemisphere) instead. Ah, don't mind me, I'm just yanking your chain... You deserve the big bucks Charles for all that you've shared freely in the past. 😀
Good on you Charles! As the curtain get pulled back and we get a better look, I find it barely tolerable. What to do as the corruption can no longer be ignored and yet so difficult to correct? It all becomes so dialectic and important. Keep up the good works. Your voice is so important.
Synchronicity. In my town in the Northern Rivers Area of Australia I'm involved in the creation of a young women's group. It's just begun formation, emergent from the dynamic of four attuned individuals coming together and inviting others in. We've just decided on 'Gathering of Women' as our group name, the connotation of gathering being 'a process of selection (self-selection in this case) to assemble an entity'. Totally apt.
I cannot WAIT for this. I had been interested when I first encountered an invite to it, as it’s basically exactly the thing that’s been brewing in my own heart. But the cost at the time seemed prohibitive and I waffled on it.
But when I heard that you and Zach Bush were both going to be there, it become an absolute HELL YES.
I remember a number of years ago you wrote you wanted to find new wells of new inspiration and a different way of presenting your vision instead of recycling the stuff you have already presented in just writing and speaking. Hopefully you have already or will enter soon into that new fresh place you were seeking. Blessings!
I am so glad to hear you will be visiting the land where I grew up to speak with Zach Bush.
If I may make a humble request on the part of the rooted beings that nourished me in a way so much more deeply than any human ever could as I was growing up, please try to use your relative fame and spotlight to give a voice to the last few remaining intact primary ancient temperate rainforest watersheds that dwell on Vancouver Island when you speak there.
I have attempted to lend my own small (digital footprint/voice) to that sacred task, but I feel that someone like yourself could send out more significant ripples into the collective consciousness of our human family (especially via an event where people hear you speak in person).
For some background on the situation on Vancouver island incase you are not familiar:
The ancient Douglas Fir and Cedar trees in the Fairy Creek watershed on Vancouver Island (which I talked about in this post: https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/death-by-a-thousand-clearcuts ) are still intact thanks to the persistence of the forest defenders so far.
Despite many brutal assaults by corrupt police and unlawful arrests of peaceful forest defenders (on their own traditional and unceded lands) the relentless presence of the hundreds of people blocking the roads in waves (getting arrested by the hundreds and hauled away, only to have more forest defenders hike up through the woods to replenish the lines the next day) got big enough attention on the situation so that the racketeers in government and corporate logging industries were forced to go to court and pretend like they are re-assessing the ecological significance of the ancient forest there.
Now, in 2024 the deferrals on the watershed are still in place but are set to expire in February 2025.
Fairy Creek remains intact as of now, but unprotected in the long term. Those who wish to preserve extremely rare intact primary temperate rainforest watersheds like Fairy Creek will have to remain vigilant in getting the word out, keeping people informed and sounding the alarm when the vultures try to swoop in again while no-one is looking. But, at least for now, the courage, kindness, perseverance and reverence for our elder rooted beings (embodied in the thousands of forest defenders that work tirelessly to protect those sacred forests) has prevailed over cowardice, greed and arrogance.
Also, it appears that not all of the RCMP in BC are corrupt, some of them (when bearing witness to their colleagues acting as mercenaries for hire and enforcers for a corporate racketeering operation( refused to continue in their role as a police officer, one even joined the protestors/forest defenders.
May the courage and integrity of the few fan the fading spark of goodness that still burns in their peers to become a flame so that many will refuse to obey corrupt and immoral orders in the future, leaving the corporate oligarchs and duplicitous racketeering interests in government high and dry (and without muscle to enforce their edicts) next time the things heat up there.
May it remain that way through our collective vigilance, persistence, cognisance and willingness to speak the truth.
May the courage I highlight above be amplified through the voice of people such as yourself and may our descendants be given the blessing of knowing a world where ancient diverse forest ecosystems are the norm and monoculture thinking designed cities made of unform concrete, glass, plastic and steel are the aberration.
kennedy is the remedy when it comes to understanding health, wellbeing, pollution of our environment, etc
i do not agree with Kennedy on everything (position on Israel) but corrupted duopoly is a trap. Charles is not putting his head in the sand. Good on him.

“Understanding the pollution of our environment,” except for the pollution and destruction Israel has waged on the region for decades. The well-documented ecological apartheid decimation of native flora, monoculture plantation, water theft and poisoning, herbicidal warfare, illegal white phosphorus and depleted uranium, and so much more…it is literally a textbook case study in ecocide. How do Kennedy and Eisenstein reconcile this? I have heard neither address it. Kennedy may have adopted the ethno-state’s dehumanization to dismiss the live-streamed genocide we have all witnessed for months, but his disregard for its long-standing, very deliberate geo-cide calls the rest of his body of work into question.
I think you are jumping to wrong conclusions. why should either of them held personally responsible of errors abroad.
Kenedy was an environmental lawyer in the USA, he would be well aware of serious problems with monoculture plantation, water poisoning etc, in the USA, at least. However, Blaming Charles for Israel s policy goes too far, in my opinion.
Besides, There are occasional differences of opinions between Charles and Kennedy jnr. And possibly also between Kennedy jnr and Israel. Kennedy is not aspiring to run Israel. What do you expect from either of them ...God-like omnipotence?...
You are most correct "Kennedy not aspiring to run Israel" as Israel will run Kennedy as it runs all of the US levers of power and influence. How you equate health and wellness with "safer vaccines" (Kennedy viewpoint) is beyond logical. Do more research as you will find Kennedy is far from the do-gooder you believe him to be.

Gotta keep out those disgusting, dangerous poor people from the tidy white revolution
😅😅😅 yep, that’s about it 😅😜❣️
instead of negativity, People can try self organising. start very small events very locally...
invite friends for watching a film or having a monthly book club...
drum circle, camping...bon fire...prayers, chanting...meditation...
tai chi, yoga...the sky is the limit

Rainbow Gatherings are kinda meant to be something like this, I went to one, but alas people just cant seem to get into the giving mindset, everyone is still running on scarcity and capitalism in their minds background.. Id love to start my own small local events and intend to. No money required
reminds me of:
"Burning Man" and other "burns" that have certain "non commodification" rules/principles...
"Gift economy"...
"ying money" and "yang money", etc
yeeaaaaa except the ticket price -_-

bevan
charles is an invited speaker, not an organiser
please do not assume Charles is going to profit a lot from participants
there are many ways to be a good human

What are you, a bot?
ask not what but who
human soul
Then talk like one instead of copy-pasting the same reply
do not boss around.
Lol, you're telling people what to do with every copypasted reply

600 dollars. Great. Im so sick of fucking everyone you have no goddamn idea.
This is genuinely exciting. You and Zach together is a dream team. Time to update my passport! 😊
I cannot WAIT for this. I had been interested when I first encountered an invite to it, as it’s basically exactly the thing that’s been brewing in my own heart. But the cost at the time seemed prohibitive and I waffled on it.
But when I heard that you and Zach Bush were both going to be there, it become an absolute HELL YES.
Seriously vibrating over here 😄
Can you give me 600 bucks so i can go too
I remember a number of years ago you wrote you wanted to find new wells of new inspiration and a different way of presenting your vision instead of recycling the stuff you have already presented in just writing and speaking. Hopefully you have already or will enter soon into that new fresh place you were seeking. Blessings!
Greetings Charles,

What happened to your support for Kennedy
I think Charles is still supporting Kennedy.
Did you watch this……

he probably noticed that Kennedy's campaign manager is a former CIA officer, put two and two together, and quietly showed himself the door.
