All the way from the UK, internationally renowned author Marian Van Eyk McCain is coming to The Rabbit Hole. She is the author of four books: Elderwoman, The Lilypad List, GreenSpirit and Downshifting Made Easy. Don't miss out on the chance to meet and talk with Marian, if you are at all concerned about a greener future. We are taking advantage of having her in town and hosting two events with Marian:
Starting at 2:30 For women only:
Unlike her mother and grandmother, the modern woman knows that her "third age" may well occupy up to a third of her total lifetime. What will these years bring her? Will they hold "more of the same," or will this period of her life be qualitatively different from the rest? According to Marian Van Eyk McCain, this section of our life's journey is potentially the richest, most satisfying time of all. These years can be our most productive years yet - but in a radically different way. Becoming en elderwoman is not simply a matter of growing old. It is about letting go our fears of the aging process and allowing that process to ripen us into our full potential as women and as human beings.
Starting at 3:30 for everyone concerned about a green lifestyle:
Only by understanding the Universe as a vast, holistic system and Earth as a unit within it can we help restore balance to that unit. Only by placing Earth and its ecosystems – about which we now understand so much – at the centre of all our thinking can we avert ecological disaster. Only by bringing our thinking back into balance with feeling, intuition and awareness, and by grounding ourselves in a sense of the sacred in all things can we achieve a new level of consciousness. Green spirituality is the key to a new, twenty-first century consciousness. And this book is the most comprehensive ever written on green spirituality.
