Dear Friends and Fellow Evolutionaries,


Greetings in the New Year! Three things this  month:


1. What's New on The  Great Story website: 
_http://thegreatstory.org/new.html_ (http://thegreatstory.org/new.html)  
(Parents: we highly recommend the "_Elemental  Birthdays_ 
(http://solstice-and-equinox.com/elementalbirthdays.html) " resource!)


2. Our awakening to  the moral urgency of climate change, as 
intergenerational injustice /  intergenerational evil:

3. My dear friend and  mentor David Gershon, co-founder of Empowerment 
Institute, is one of  the world's foremost authorities on behavior-change, 
community empowerment, and  large-system transformation. I know this from 
personal experience, as we  worked closely together in the mid-to-late 1990s. 
David's work has addressed a  wide diversity of issues:
    *   low carbon lifestyles  
    *   livable neighborhoods  
    *   sustainable communities  
    *   organizational talent development  
    *   corporate social engagement  
    *   cultural transformation
David is offering a free  teleseminar this Sunday, January 13, 2013 @ 2pm 
EST / 11am PST: _http://davidgershonjan2013.eventbrite.co.uk_ 
(http://davidgershonjan2013.eventbrite.co.uk/) 


This hour-long teleseminar is  appropriate for anyone wishing to make 
change happen. David presents  strategies and tools for shifting habits, 
empowering communities, and  transforming large systems. Drawing on his highly 
acclaimed book Social  Change 2.0, he describes how each of us can step up our 
ability to make a  difference in the world.


David also introduces his "Masterclass in  Transformative Social Change" 
that starts on January 27th. (Learn more about  that _here_

will also be enrolling in David's masterclass.
