Floydfest

I'll be speaking at least four times at Floydfest, a big music festival in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. July 23-24

Friday 1:45-2:30, p-art area
Seeding Gift Culture
The economic crisis is part of a deep civilizational shift toward a once-and-future way of being: Living in the Gift. We feel its pull in our desire to give of our gifts, our lives, our selves. The transition is fast upon us, and we can start living it and seeding it right now.

Friday 3:30-4:30, Imagine Tent
Rituals for Revolution
We seem to live in an age without ritual. New Agey rituals seem self-conscious and fake, and traditional rituals irrelevant. Actually, we are immersed in invisible rituals that maintain the world as we know it. To create a different world, we must fashion new rituals that are real to us.

Saturday 1:30-2:15, p-art area
Separation and Reunion
A process eons in the making is reaching fulfillment in our time. Multiple crises are converging, propelling humanity into a new kind of civilization, technology, science, economy, medicine, and spirituality – a revolution in human beingness.

Saturday 3-4, Imagine tent
The Invisible Path
On a personal level, the transition from Separation to Reunion often follows a seven-fold path: idealism, resistance, search, despair, revelation, journey, and arrival. Because we are entering new territory, there are no maps for this path. Our only guidance is from our hearts and the others walking it with us.
