Minnesota Earth Charter Annual Fall Event
Saturday, October 30, 2004 12:30 4:30 PM
Macalester Plymouth United Church
1658 Lincoln Ave. St. Paul MN
Join us as we learn more about creating a sustainable future for our planet. We
have two wonderful speakers, Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow. Michael will
conduct a presentation for adults while Connie offers an informative and
educational session for children.
"The Earth Charter and Human Destiny:
A Vision for a Sustainable Future"
By Michael Dowd
Michael offers a hopeful, inspiring vision of the future of the planet. He will
relate the principles of the Earth Charter to the themes of the Great Story: a
history of the Universe and our planet based on scientific and sacred findings.
The presentation will explore both the good news, and our challenges - short
term as well as long-term evolutionary trends. He will conclude with a
perspective of how the Earth Charter will be seen 100 years from now. A
question and answer period will provide an opportunity to break into small
groups based on personal interests, and to discuss strategies and personal
practices for creating a sustainable future.
Workshop for Youth Ages 4-12
"Coming Home to North America" with Connie Barlow
Each child is invited to bring two or three stuffed animals for a hands-on
workshop that connects the evolution of the land, nature and people of North
America. Designed just for kids!
*****
Special guest, childrens author, Phyllis Root, will read her award-winning
picture book: Big Mamma Makes the World, (Candlewick Press, 2003). Available at
bookstores everywhere. Kids: bring your copy to have signed by the author!
Selected paperbacks will also be available for purchase.
