This weekend, July 5-8, the Department of Business Administration at Maharishi University of Management is hosting a free symposium. The premise of the event is a transformation of consciousness is needed in order to truly “embed” sustainability in companies and society. The symposium will explore the topic of “deep green business” and the role of inner sustainability (and the expansion of consciousness) in green business. The event will feature experts from Maharishi University of Management, Iowa, The United Kingdom, and China.
There will be discussion and presentations about how this transformation of consciousness can take place, what the mechanics of this change are, how businesses and communities are already facilitating this transformation, and what the end result will look like.
Speakers and Presentation Topics
Hazel Henderson
The keynote speaker is book author and TV producer Hazel Henderson. Hazel is a pioneer in the the field of ecologically sustainable human development and socially responsible business. Her presentation will be about ethical markets.

Other topics will include:

“We hope members of the community will join us as we explore the role of consciousness in creating sustainable business and a sustainable world,” said Maharishi University of Management professor and Deep Green Business Symposium organizer Vicki Herriott.

I applaud all efforts in sustainable living.
I live in a house two miles from Myrtle Point Oregon.
Each day I conserve water by reusing it as gray water.
I compost all i can.
I recycle the rest.
We believe it is of prime importance for all people to get behind
sustaining the environment.
sincerely,
Patricia Rogers
