Awakening Global
 Consciousness
What is Global
Consciousness?
How does the dominant
form of education today
  perpetuate what we
    saw in Baraka?
The dominant form of education today “alienates us
 from life in the name of human domination, fragments
instead of unifies, overemphasizes success and careers,
 separates feeling from intellect and the practical from
   the theoretical, and unleashes on the world minds
               ignorant of their ignorance.”
                                        David Orr
Nature Deficit
                            Disorder

“Mans heart, away from nature, becomes
hard; the Lakota knew that lack of respect for
growing, living things soon led to lack of
respect for humans too.”
