'''Values for the Coming Crisis''' 

  Join Kathryn Alexander to explore how ethics and values flow through our natural systems and can help shape the human future.

  New times are perfect for re-evaluation, refreshing, and reconstituting how we think and how we see the world. Key to seeing differently and therefore acting differently will be gaining a clear-eyed understanding of our value systems and the role they play (or don’t) in building the new world we want to live in.

  We are so used to seeing values as discrete things that this new awareness of living systems of values will showcase challenges and special situations you might have been unaware of previously. Discover, for the first time, how ethics and values flow through our system. Learn about the relationship between values, your authentic self, and the culture you swim in. Where is nature in all of this? You will begin to understand how your own clarity about yourself will impact your ability to live a strong, values-based life

  Here the insight of science comes together with the wisdom of indigenous people to provide insight into how nature works and how we can support her efforts. The forgotten Prime Directive will become clear, and her 3.5 billion years of wisdom will become available so we can become her partners.

  Presenter: Kathryn Alexander MA, Futurist, mystic, systems thinker, coach and author. Kathryn lives on the verdant fringe between science and the mystical. Propelled by the urgency of the times, the fruition of 20+ years of research and discovery is a joy to share. By honing her ability to see what’s present and to discern the intent of true reality, she welcomes the opportunity to help others gain that clarity and experience connectedness. Combining science, indigenous wisdom, and her intuition, she reframes our understanding of Gaia and our relationship, bringing forth the fruits of 70 years of spiritual exploration and over 20 years of Siddha Yoga meditation with Swami Muktananda. Previously on the faculty of the Sustainable Business Practices Program at the University of Colorado Boulder, Regis University and the Entrepreneur Community Online teaching strategy, organizational change, systems theory, business psychology, and work team development. Her published work includes articles in Vantage Point, Vision Action, Executive Excellence, and Taking AIM and her blog, Resilient Change, ::http://www.living-regeneratively.world/resilient-change:: ---blog

Kathryn has developed beautifully since the deep dive on values she offered the [[Kathryn Alexander, MA|Afterchat community]] in our early days (Jan., 2021).

Four transformative actions are crucial to assure a sustainable future:

■ Shifting from quantitative to qualitative, inspired by the systems in nature.

■ Becoming ecologically literate in order to design sustainable communities;

■ Recognizing the nature of systemic solutions, with agroecology as an outstanding example; and

■ Adopting a new Earth ethics, such as the one summarized in the Earth Charter.

I like Capra's view: "Ethics is behavior for the common good of the human communities we share and the global biosphere, the community of life, nature’s inherent ability to sustain life. This is the essence of ecological sustainability." '''For more''' Google search: "Capra ethics common good" including Capra's review of ''Laudato si'' by Pope Francis. ::https://earthcharter.org/fritjof-capra-laudato-si-the-ecological-ethics-and-systemic-thought-of-pope-francis/::

ABSTRACT (Capra webinar) The major problems of our time are systemic problems, all interconnected and interdependent. To understand and solve them, we need to learn how to think systemically — in terms of relationships, patterns, and context. Such a systemic understanding of life has recently emerged at the forefront of science. The fact that our major problems are systemic problems means that they require corresponding systemic ethical solutions. Ethics is usually associated with philosophy or religion, but it can also be considered from a scientific perspective. Today we have the knowledge and the technologies to solve systemic problems. During the long history of evolution, nature has sustained life by creating and nurturing communities. Natural selection favors those communities in which individuals act for the benefit of the community as a whole. In the human realm, we associate such actions with ethical behavior. Ethics is behavior for the common good of the human communities we share and the global biosphere, the community of life, nature’s inherent ability to sustain life. This is the essence of ecological sustainability.
