With about 20 people in attendance at the comfortable and tranquil Avia Hotel in Long Beach, we had plenty of delicious snacks and great discussion. Thanks go to Mico for securing the venue for us. I was so pleased that the group felt welcome to participate and share their perspectives.
Originally, I had extracted 25 minutes (in 1 to 3 minute segments) of video from ZMF to use as discussion points. There are so many research findings shared in the film, but while watching, one doesn't have the time to explore them in more depth. This was the occasion for that exploration. In fact, we only made it through 13 minutes of film in nearly three hours!
We took a few moments at the end of the evening to share what we would all do if we weren't forced into wage slavery, and it was great to hear how each person would share his/her individual talents to contribute to society.
With a nascent movement like this, it is not difficult to find yourself feeling alone in wanting to create the change that is called for in a resource-based economy. To discuss these topics in more detail with people who already feel compelled to create that change makes for a friendly environment of peers.
Thanks to all those who attended and helped make this event a great one!
