Becoming Wild, Willing, and Wise: An Evening with HeatherAsh Amara

Join best-selling author HeatherAsh Amara for this dynamic exploration of her latest book: Wild, Willing, and Wise: An Interactive Guide for When to Paddle, When to Rest, and When to Jump Naked into the River of Life. Whether we realize it or not, our lives are a constant cycle through three energies: the creativity and abundance of Wild, the courage and power of Willing, and the gratitude and surrender of Wise. HeatherAsh will walk us through descriptions of the three archetypes, so we can learn how each presents in excess and deficiency. During this talk, we will begin to explore how to bring the three energies into balance in order to find inner freedom and alignment. This evening is an invitation into an ongoing journey. Join HeatherAsh Amara as we explore how to become fiercely engaged, wildly creative, unfailingly experimental, wonderfully confused, seriously delighted, and compassionately vulnerable. About HeatherAsh Amara: HeatherAsh Amara is the author of nine books, including the bestselling Warrior Goddess Training, The Seven Secrets of Happy and Healthy Relationships with don Miguel Ruiz Jr., and the upcoming book Wild, Willing, and Wise. She skillfully and unconditionally guides people to shift from self-judgment to discernment, victimhood to authentic vulnerability, and to shed limiting domestication so they can ground into their self-intimacy, steadiness, and stillness. Raised in Southeast Asia, HeatherAsh has traveled the world from childhood and is continually inspired by the diversity and beauty of human expression and experience. She brings this open-hearted, inclusive worldview to her writings and teachings. https://www.goldenbraidslc.com/events/becoming-wild-willing-and-wise-an-evening-with-heatherash-amara



Gary E. Machlis on Sustainability for the Forgotten

https://uofupress.com/event/gary-machlis-on-sustainability-for-the-forgotten/ Sustainability for the Forgotten is an incendiary book that confronts the history, policies, and practices of sustainability. It interrogates the usefulness of current sustainability approaches for the poorest of the poor, the chronic underclass, victims of natural disasters, refugees, the oppressed, and asks, how can we do better? With examples that range from the coffeelands of El Salvador to the coal country of American Appalachia, from the streets of Detroit to refugee camps in Greece and the upscale metro centers of the affluent, sustainability is examined with a critical eye and with an emphasis on insuring that the forgotten are heard. Listen to Gary Machlis as he challenges the sustainability movement to follow “a just and necessary path” and provides a call to action that is ultimately hopeful. Gary E. Machlis is University Professor of Environmental Sustainability at Clemson University. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and member of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability and its Board on Environmental Change and Society. He has written widely on issues of conservation, science policy, and sustainability.
