This wrongness is mirrored in the “real world” of economics and agriculture, as the ultra-rich keep getting richer, the not-so-rich keep getting poorer, and billions of poor nearly starve. Critical and finite resources are used at record rates while supplies are being exhausted. And it’s all happening within an exploitation and greed-based global economy that is steadily destroying the life and life support systems of our planet. We must stop and reevaluate.

We are at crossroads. Many of us feel that we are “waking up,” but we’re not sure what to. Whatever our pet cause or focus may be, we have a common desire for a culture and history based on truthfulness and compassion rather than greed and manipulation. But there are so many crises, so much injustice and deception, that we can easily become overwhelmed and cynical. We know though that we must trudge onward–to face our predicament and fight for a decent world.

“Hidden History, Current Crisis,” will be an opportunity to deconstruct the Empire of Greed and Deception that seems to have a stranglehold on our planet. We will explore a wide array of topics in order to understand the most pressing emergencies of today, as well their historical and psychological roots. We will also share the possibilities of solutions and alternatives in the face of these very daunting realizations.

We will expose, explore, and engage. We will diffuse denial, apathy, and cynicism. We hope to see you there…
