How we build an Ecocivilization - Metacrisis Salon #11

Join us for an inspiring evening as we delve into the ideas presented by Jeremy Lent, acclaimed author of The Patterning Instinct and The Web of Meaning. Described by The Guardian as "one of the greatest thinkers of our age," Lent challenges the prevalent belief that capitalism is unchangeable.

This salon will explore the urgent need for a radically different civilization, one anchored in nature's principles: justice, mutuality, diversity, and symbiosis. Explore innovative approaches to redesigning our major systems—from the economy to agriculture—with a focus on creating a world that works for all life.

Featured Speaker:
Jeremy Lent — Founder of the Deep Transformation Network and the nonprofit Liology Institute, as well as a founding member of the Ecocivilization Coalition.

✨ Seeking Collaboration:
We are looking for a NYC-based thinker, practitioner, or organizer to share the stage with Jeremy. If you or someone you know can enhance the conversation, please reach out!

🕓 Volunteer Opportunities:
