Paul Hawken - Blessed Unrest - Sisters of St. Joseph


"How the Largest Movement In the World Came Into Being and Why No One Saw it Coming."Paul Hawken has spent over a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes, these groups collectively comprise the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location, and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media. Like nature itself, it is organizing from the bottom up, in every city, town, and culture. and is emerging to be an extraordinary and creative expression of people's needs worldwide.

The Sisters of St. Joseph invited Mr. Hawken to London as part of their 'BEYOND TINKERING: CREATING AN INCLUSIVE ECONOMY' speaker series (check out their session for November) and I was incredibly honoured to be invited to the pre-talk dinner at their LEED certified home (at the top of Windermere). Thank you to the Sister's, to Don Gordon(TTLT), and to Paul, for a lovely evening of laughter and conversation.
