Fiction , Prophecy, and Strategy
How can we create the new world—that non-hierarchical, socially just,
ecologically balanced and beautifully diverse world we long for—unless we can
first imagine it?
Speculative fiction allows us to envision that world in detail,
to anticipate its workings and challenges, and bring it alive in our
collective imagination. And fiction can serve as an extended thought-experiment to explore
strategies for getting there.
Starhawk draws from her futuristic novel, The Fifth Sacred Thing, and its sequel, her new book
City of Refuge, to spark discussion on how to shift cynicism and despair into empowerment and engagement.
Fundraiser for EAT - Earth Activist Training scholarship program. Admission is $5-20 sliding scale (no one turned away for lack of funds). Copies of City of Refuge available for purchase. Book signing follows talk. Advance tickets highly recommended.
Learn more from EAT graduates Suraya Arslan, Ellen Farmer, and Coleen Douglas. Sign ups are open for Rowe, Massachusetts (June 5-19), and Northern Spain (August 14-28).
