A conversation with David Korten and Jeremy Lent (WU-405)

What does it mean to be human, and what is it about our stories, our interpretation of our reality, our consciousness that seems to be leading us down the path to self-extinction?

Can changing the way we talk about our lives affect the sustainability of our future? Listen here as Jeremy Lent, author of The Patterning Instinct, talks with YES! Magazine’s’s David Korten about how culture and language wire our brains and affect how we interpret and react to the world around us.

It’s an exciting conversation — and you can join them both to pursue these questions when they continue their conversation at Eagle Harbor Books at 3pm Sunday, Feb. 25. Don’t miss it!

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
