A Contemplation of Long-Termism
During this free, four week workshop we will contemplate questions of our era. What does it mean to be human in a digital age? In an age of anxiety and despair, how can we “become the great ancestors our future needs us to be?” Centered around Ari Wallach’s book Longpath: Becoming the Great Ancestors our Future Needs— An Antidote for Short Termism, we will engage in readings, writing exercises, and discussion to explore possibilities for how the individual actions we take in the here and now can influence future generations.
Unitarian Universalist Church of Youngstown, 1105 Elm St., Youngstown 44505.
Tuesday/Thursday 6-7:30pm, July 18, 23, 25 and 30; August 6, 8, 13 & 15.
Registration closes July 1.
