Where: Jefferson County Public Library – Lakewood Library, 10200 West 20th Avenue · Lakewood, CO
Join the Jefferson Humanists’ book group, FROG (Freethinkers Reading Opportunity Group) for our October 13th meeting. This month we are reading Change the Story, Change the Future, A Living Economy for a Living Earth by David Korten.
Humans live by stories, says David Korten, and the stories that now govern our society set us on a path to certain self-destruction. Korten calls our current story Sacred Money and Markets. Money, it tells us, is the measure of all worth and the source of all happiness. To guide our path to a viable human future, Korten offers a Sacred Life and Living Earth story grounded in a cosmology that affirms we are living beings born of a living Earth itself born of a living universe.
“We will prosper in the pursuit of life, or we will perish in the pursuit of money. The choice is ours.” – David Korten
We will be meeting on Saturday, October 13 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM in the meeting room at the Lakewood Public Library. The library is located at 10200 W 20th Ave in Lakewood, just 3 blocks West of Kipling. Please feel free to join us even if you haven’t finished the book.
After the meeting join us at Tellers (http://www.tellerstaproom.com ), just a few blocks away, to continue the conversation over a beverage.
