We have entered Shamanic times. This is the central metaphysical truth emerging from our escalating climate crisis that is now endangering the basis of human civilization itself. Climate change is unleashing primordial forces, the intensity of which we have never encountered in our long history, and we must enter “primordial mind” in order to navigate adroitly through the turbulence that is now inevitable.
Jim Garrison serves as the President of Wisdom University, a small graduate school based in San Francisco dedicated to teaching ancient and contemporary wisdom traditions. He also serves as President of State of the World Forum, an NGO co-founded in 1995 with Mikhail Gorbachev, whose mission is to convene cross-sectoral leaders to engage with issues of global concern. He holds an MTS in the history of religions from Harvard and a PhD in philosophical theology from Cambridge. He is the author of six books, the most recent of which is America as Empire.
The Jim Garrison event was a wake-up call, he gave a compelling talk on where we are today as far as climate change and environmental issues. It was a sit up and listen kind of talk and I was on the edge of my seat as I didn't want to miss anything. Great talk and I hope we get him back again in 2011.
He also brought a special guest Osprey Orielle Lake who wrote "Uprisings for the Earth" who spent a few minutes talking to us about the importance of listening wholeheartedly to the Earth.

LikeI am so looking forward to this event, and am fascinated by Jim's framing of our times as "Shamanic", and his recommendation that we enter "primordial mind" to navigate the inevitable turbulence. I would not have expected this language from him, and am really excited to see how he integrates these perspectives as he offers profound analysis of the trends and opportunities in the realm of climate change. Integral apps - yes!
