There's no doubt that there's been an elevation of consciousness in business over the past few years as leaders have realized that people and the planet are just as important - if not MORE important - than the financial bottom line. I've seen that true sustainability in the world can only be reached through a deep shift in our values, habits and patterns. This also applies to companies that bring products and services to the global marketplace.
On that note...
I am incredibly happy to announce that celebrated author Marianne Williamson will be at EcoTuesday on September 22nd in San Francisco to talk about the connection between sustainability and spirituality.
Please RSVP and join us on September 22nd at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel.
Williamson is the best-selling and internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher who has made an impact on thousands of lives across the planet.
Williamson will share her thoughts and perspectives on the increasingly strong connection between sustainability and spirituality. She will also touch upon topics such as, “How a spiritual shift among leaders in business can impact the entire planet,” “Transforming fear to positivity and action: how to see new possibilities in spirituality and sustainability,” and “How human consciousness on a business level has increased, and the places where we could all improve.”
Williamson is an advocate of sustainability and committed to creating a planet that can work for everybody. In 1989, she founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with AIDS in the Los Angeles area. Today, Project Angel Food serves over 1,000 people daily. Marianne also co-founded The Peace Alliance, a grass roots campaign supporting legislation to establish a U. S. Department of Peace. Her latest book, The Age of Miracles, was #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list. She also authored A Return to Love, which was #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. In December 2006, a NEWSWEEK magazine poll named Marianne Williamson one of the fifty most influential baby boomers. Please see Marianne's official website for more information.
