London Global Table 21st Aug. 2013

 London Global Table 21st Aug. 2013

We meet 12 – 2 in Room 2:1 *[no food or drink permitted]* of the SES, 11 Mandeville Place W1U

 ‘MATTERS IN THE AIR’ ………some of which participants could choose to develop…..*

THERE ARE NOW BASIC PAPERS ON GLOBAL TABLE LINKS  – Initiatives with which we engage   http://globaltable.org.uk/wp/?page_id=373  Fundamentals of a sane economy http://globaltable.org.uk/wp/?page_id=376 Recommendations for up-dating these entries are always welcome.

 Acting without a model in mind is less creative then with a model; and holding several models as contextual reference points adds to a rich perspective and to creative innovation. That is why  our Global Table’s collection of models for holding perspective in our explorations is frequently discussed and updated. More on this this week from Ecopsychology Groups and New report: Common Cause for Nature.
