WorldShift: Shaping the Emergences Arising out of our Global Emergency

Dear Friends of Renaissance2,

At 18h00 on 9 September 2009 a gathering of living legends and exceptional activists will take place in London to launch the WorldShift 2012 Declaration and Global Consultation. WorldShift 2012 is a global movement dedicated to co-creating the foundations of a peaceful and sustainable world by the end of 2012.

Renaissance2 is a founding member of the Worldshift Alliance and you must be a Renaissance2 member in order to attend this launch and be part of the emergence that is arising out of our current global emergency.

WorldShift: Shaping the Emergences Arising out of our Global Emergency At this launch leading thinkers and activists such as Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Dr. Robin Wood and Dr. Jude Currivan will lead an an energetic exchange of views on how we can focus our resources and energies on co-creating positive outcomes together in fields as diverse as the environment, renewable energy, enlightened enterprise, wise culture, integral governance and human wellbeing.  What are the key ingredients we need to shape a thriving human civilization in the 21st century, and what role can you play in that process? Selected members of the audience will then be invited to contribute their own examples of the emergences they see happening around them, and how they are playing their own role in making a difference at this critical moment in human history, followed by a question and answer session and further networking over drinks and snacks and the launch of Dr Ervin Laszlo's latest book: "Worldshift 2012: Making Green Business, New Politics, and Higher Consciousness Work Together", with forewords by Mikhail Gorbachev and Deepak Chopra. The tickets for this Worldshift 999 event at the British Museum in London are free and offered on a first come first served basis. There are a limited number of seats in the lecture theatre and an overflow area has been arranged. Snacks and refreshments will be served.

The Renaissance2 Great Shift Gathering Between October 22 and 26 2009, Renaissance2 is holding the "Great Shift Gathering" following our highly successful Great Shift Partner Event in June 2009. R2 invites you to attend one or both of the two ground breaking events which comprise the Great Shift Gathering: Event 1: Designing a Resilient Civilization- 22-24 October At this event we will continue to prototype the new models which form the basis of Capitalism 2.0, while launching new projects that help accelerate their adoption. Join some of the world's leading innovators who are: o transforming the world of renewable energy, including solar, wind and electric powered transport; o creating resilient environments including urban, industrial and service habitats around the world, using cradle-to-cradle and integral approaches; o developing enlightened enterprises driving social innovation and accelerating human and social development around the globe; o making the connections which enable new forms of integral governance systems to align the efforts of business, government, NGO's and communities. Event 2: Conscious Evolution- 25-26 October Conscious Evolution enables us to use our creative power to guide our own lives and the evolution of the systems and the communities in which we live and work. It is a process by which individuals and groups, families, organizations, and societies can envision and create images of what should be, and bring those images to life by design. Living legends such as Barbara Marx Hubbard, Michael Braungart, Ervin Laszlo, Don Beck, Andrew Cohen and Neale Donald Walsch will be joining us along with a host of experts on human cultural and spiritual development to map out the way ahead, and highlight what we can each do to shift ourselves, our organizations, families and communities in: o Developing ourselves to the next level of conscious creative power in our own lives; o Developing our communities and organizations to co-create aligned, collectively intelligent human systems. On 26th October at the event we will be launching the Worldshift Alliance with Worldshift2012 and other partners which include the Club of Budapest, Foundation for Conscious Evolution, Alliance for a New Humanity, the State of the World Forum, Humanity Unites Brilliance and many other amazing organizations.  Some of the notable individuals involved in these initiatives include Mikhail Gorbachev, Peter Gabriel, the Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Jane Goodall, Jim Garrison, Al Gore, Mary Robinson and hundreds of other luminaries working towards creating a thriving human civilization in the next decade.
