Come on up to Willow Beach Cottages (www.willowbeach.com) for the weekend and take in this thought provoking event.

“It may be hard to imagine a civilization where the needs of all are met without depreciating the environment, where speculative Capitol serves real need and where nations and regions have the ability to make decisions in the interest of their people and the environment that supports them. However, such a system is possible.

Our challenge is not whether or not it’s possible to live secure healthy lives for countless generations, our challenge is to remember we are a tremendously gifted species and to identify the direction in which we need to move today.

Speaker - Mike Nickerson is a Canadian author who lives in Lanark, Ontario and works with communities striving to build sustainable economies. Visit www.SustainWellBeing.net Mike has spent 35 years studying cultural evolution and communicating the sustainability message. His writings include: “Bakavi; Change the World I Want to Stay On” (1977), “Let’s Talk About Sustainability” (1987), “Planning for Seven Generations” (1993) and the newly released “Life, Money & Illusion; Living on Earth as if we want to stay.”
With “Life, Money & Illusion” in hand to provide details, Nickerson is now on a cross country tour introducing the Question of Direction. The program encourages people to think and talk about changing customs and institutions, which aim for and benefit from material expansion, to ones capable of maintaining long-term well-being while decreasing impacts on the planet and each other. Nickerson contends that when, as a society, we wholeheartedly choose the new direction we will find ourselves moving toward a promising future.
