> “What is most important to me is to live in a world that is not  
> being murdered.”
>
> Hailed as the “philosopher poet” of the ecological movement,  
> Derrick Jensen passionately explains how our industrial  
> civilization, and the persistent and widespread violence it  
> requires, cannot last. He weaves history, philosophy, psychology,  
> environmentalism, economics, and literature into an intricate  
> pattern of truth and resistance. The 2006 Press Action Award called  
> Jensen’s book Endgame “the best work of nonfiction in 2006.  
> Given the significance of its subject matter and the urgency of  
> Jensen’s message, Endgame is the most important book of the decade  
> and could stand as the must-read book of our lifetimes.”
>
> The workshop will address two themes: The Problem of Civilization  
> and Resistance. Derrick will offer a series of provocative  
> premises, including “Civilization is killing the planet. We are  
> living in a world that is being murdered,” and “Love does not  
> imply pacifism.” He vividly imagines an end to industrialized,  
> technological civilization, offering an original framework for  
> creating a sustainable way of life.
>
> The theme of resistance will catapult our discussion into a  
> passionate call for action. Derrick touches the heart and the soul  
> by diving deep into our culture’s devastation. Ed Schreiber will  
> complement Derrick‘s work by sharing processes that will deepen  
> our connection to one another, to the world, and to ourselves.
>
> Practical solutions will emerge by focusing on our most primal  
> human desire: to live on a healthy earth overflowing with uncut  
> forests, clean rivers, and thriving oceans that are not under the  
> constant threat of destruction. We are capable of being a  
> harmonious part of the cycles of life on our planet.
>
> Derrick Jensen is an author, teacher, activist, farmer, and leading  
> voice in uncompromising dissent and revolutionary spirit. Besides  
> Engame, he wrote A Language Older Than Words, Strangely Like War,  
> Listening to the Land, and The Culture of Make Believe.
>
> Ed Schreiber will augment Derrick’s presentation with his  
> masterful facilitation. He will share his intimate knowledge of  
> J.L. Moreno’s revolutionary method of activism that offers tools  
> for achieving psychological and emotional freedom and  
> responsibility. Ed directs the Moreno Institute East and the Zerka  
> T. Moreno Foundation for Education, and teaches internationally.
>
> “What I really want is for people to think for themselves, feel  
> for themselves, ask the earth where they live ‘What must we do?’  
> and to act on the answers that emerge.” — Derrick Jensen
