Shaman Sister Sessions # 21: Sacred Community & Social Evolution, featuring Deshna Ubeda

Anthony Flaccavento

The theme of this episode is transitions and transformations.  Here are two people who see changes on the ground and are helping direct them toward a more flourishing outcome.My first guest ever on this program, when it was called Religion For Life, is Anthony Flaccavento.  He returns to discuss his book, "Building A Healthy Economy From the Bottom Up: Harnessing Real-World Experience for Transformative Change."    In 1995 he founded Appalachian Sustainable Development and is now the president of SCALE Inc., a private consulting business that supports ecologically healthy economics.In this book he provides examples of  locally-based economies that are thriving all over the country.  At the same time, he says that we are losing the battle at the policy levels both locally and nationally.  His book is a call to action for entrepreneurs, scholars, policymakers, community activists and all citizens to re-think economy and act for a way of justice and commonsense from the bottom-up.Deshna Ubeda is the director of Progressive Christianity Dot Org.  She is directing The Embrace Festival, May, 4, 5, and 6 in Portland.  Similar to Burning Man, Beloved, and Wild Goose, the Embrace Festival will feature presentations, art, music, dance, community and food for the purpose of building sacred community and inspiring social transformation.  Here is its vision:"In May 2017, people from all over the world will gather in Portland, Oregon to share knowledge and wisdom, learn from each other, celebrate, be inspired, and find the tools needed to create and enliven local movements within our communities. Together we will explore sacred oneness, Christ Consciousness, Buddha Nature, eco-spirituality, social justice and the way of universal and personal transformation that honors the Divine in all."
