In conversation with Joanna Manqueros
Who am I? Why am I? How should I live? These are some of the oldest questions humans have grappled with. In our modern, high-tech society we may seem to have the answers. After all, hasn’t science shown that humans are hardwired for selfishness? That we are separate from nature (which is ours to exploit)? That we do best when left alone to pursue our own individual goals? Jeremy Lent answers with a resounding “no”—not because he doesn’t like these conclusions, but because the latest science shows them to be false. What’s more, he argues that it is those ingrained but faulty beliefs that underlie the environmental and social unraveling now threatening our very survival. |

The Commonwealth Club | Online Conversation
|
In conversation with George Hammond, author, Conversations with Socrates
Jeremy Lent returns to The Commonwealth Club to discuss the ideas in his new book, which weaves together the latest scientific findings with age-old philosophical insights to show how some of our most ingrained beliefs about human nature and the world are mistaken. Who am I? Why am I? How should I live? These are some of the oldest questions humans have grappled with. Our modern, high-tech society, having grown up in Darwins' shadow, assumes that humans are hardwired for selfishness, that we are separate from nature and so can exploit it, that we do best when left alone to pursue our own individual goals. |

UK BOOK LAUNCH EVENT
Schumacher College/Dartington Trust
Introduction to Themes from The Web of Meaning
|
Our dominant worldview tells us we’re split between mind and body, separate from each other, and at odds with the natural world. This worldview has passed its expiration date: it’s based on a series of flawed assumptions that have been superseded by modern scientific findings.
In this talk, author Jeremy Lent will discuss themes from his new book, The Web of Meaning, revealing how another worldview is possible—based on our deep interconnectedness with all of life. Showing how modern scientific knowledge echoes the ancient wisdom of earlier cultures, the presentation weaves together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom. |

Not only a new way of understanding human nature—but a new politics to match it.

Imagining "New" Patterns of Consciousness
A Conversation with Anna Murray, co-founder of Patternity
|
Tune in to hear Jeremy and Anna imagine a positive path for our future – one that integrates science, ancient wisdom and Indigenous knowledge to create 'new' patterns of consciousness, based on an all-infusing recognition of connectedness: within ourselves, with other humans, and with the entire natural world.

Perspectiva Online Event
Conversing with nature: how to move from 'ego' to 'eco' in the digital age.
|
How do we develop digital technologies in ways which bring out the best in our humanity? How, meanwhile, do we repair our relationship with the natural world?
In this session, we will explore the intersection of these two questions, so often treated as separate. In which ways can our gadgets, social platforms and breakthroughs in AI help us to care for the natural world? How can we converse with nature and appreciate an intelligence greater than our own? Can technology serve us in shifting our mindsets from ‘ego’ to ‘eco’? Join us and share your thoughts about these issues as Dan Nixon (Perspectiva) is joined in conversation by Jeremy Lent and Bonnitta Roy. |
Date And Time
Thursday, May 27, 2021 9:00–10:30 am Pacific/5:00–6:30 pm UK Price: £10 (free for those who need it) |
Intercultural Roots: Arts for Social Change
|
A talk followed by Q&A and discussion on how a deep recognition of our interconnectedness can lay the path to full fractal flourishing.
Our dominant worldview tells us we’re split between mind and body, separate from each other, and at odds with the natural world. This worldview has passed its expiration date: it's based on a series of flawed assumptions that have been superseded by modern scientific findings. In this Masterclass, author Jeremy Lent will discuss how another worldview is possible—based on our deep interconnectedness with all of life. Showing how modern scientific knowledge echoes the ancient wisdom of earlier cultures, the presentation weaves together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom. |

How to Predict the Future: Conversation with K. D. Adamson
|
Our cultural values are shaped by their own historically evolved patterns. As a result, values are not simply given, but the result of the cultural heritage that has been passed on to us through previous generations.
What if we could change these patterns of interpretation? What if we could rearrange our values to create a better future? What steps would be necessary to do this? Our next boma studio should help the participants to understand their own interpretation patterns in a socio-economic context and to take a look into the future of humanity. Our experts on the subject are KD Adamson, writer and futurist with a focus on the dangers of global technologization, and Jeremy Lent, author of The Patterning Instinct and founder of the Liology Institute. |
Date And Time
Thursday, May 6, 2021 8:00 am - 9:00 am Pacific Free |

A collective awareness of humanity's significant sustainability challenges is developing. How we respond to this across business and economy, as well as broader society will be key to the very essence of our existence. What do we move toward? What are the right steps? How did we get to where we are now?
Understanding the implications and possible answers to these questions and the 'Patterns of Meaning' within them will be important for the work ahead.
Please join us in our discussion with Jeremy Lent, a groundbreaking author who has looked under the surface of human society and culture to understand what moves and moulds the human systems we are part of. In addition to his work on an 'Ecological Civilization', we will be discussing his previous and forthcoming books and initiatives.

An Ecological Civilization: Vision and Practice
A series of four classes given by Jeremy
This course of four classes will review the concept of an ecological civilization from multiple perspectives. The first class will lay out a deep historical context, describing the impact of culture and values on history, and introducing the vision of an ecological civilization in contrast to our current society. The second class will explore the ontological and ethical parameters of an ecological civilization. The third class will delve into specifics of what an ecological civilization might look like in practice; and the final class will trace realistic pathways to a life-affirming future—and invite participants to explore their own engagement in laying the groundwork.
Each class will consist of presentations, full group discussion, and small group exercises:
