Welcome to the Great Unraveling

An Orientation to the Polycrisis

Have you been feeling a sense of unease about the state of the world? From climate change and biodiversity loss to social inequality and overconsumption, it seems like multiple crises are converging at once. What’s really going on here?

Join us at 11:00 AM US Pacific Time on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 for Welcome to the Great Unraveling: An Orientation to the Polycrisis, a free online event that will help you get clarity on the big picture.

From featured speakers Dr. Lyla June Johnston and Kumi Naidoo, you’ll learn:

How humanity’s pursuit of endless growth got us into this mess
Why climate change, biodiversity loss, and other issues are symptoms of a larger systemic problem
A framework for understanding the converging crises of the 21st century
Ways you can get involved in being part of the solution

These are uncertain times. But with understanding comes power.

Join us for this enlightening session that will equip you to face the future with knowledge, purpose, and hope.
