Library Spotlight: Earth Conference Follow Up

Did you attend our 19th Annual Earth Conference, From Extraction to Regeneration: The Future We Create, and are feeling inspired and want to learn more?

Were you unable to attend the conference but want to learn more about how you can move from an extractive to regenerative lifestyle?

The Living Earth Center Library has you covered!  

We have books exploring the history of how and why we came to live in this extractive culture.  Our collection includes titles such as: The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality by Richard Heinberg, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond, and The Post Carbon Reader: Managing the 21st Century's Sustainability Crisis edited by Richard Heinberg and Daniel Lerch.

We also have multiple books exploring ways we can work together to create a more regenerative society.  Our collection includes titles such as: How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community by Mia Birdsong, Power From the People: How to Organize, Finance, and Launch Local Energy Projects by Greg Pahl, The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience by Bob Hopkins, and Less is More: Embracing Simplicity for a Healthy Planet, a Caring Economy, and Lasting Happiness by Cecile Andrews and Wanda Urbanska.

To quote Mia Birdsong in How We Show Up, "All of us have ancestral memory of what it's like to live connected, interdependent lives.  We may be cut off or too far away from those traditions to claim them, but we can listen to our needs, our longings and through ritual, rite, and practice build a way of being in the world that honors and makes tangible our connection to one another, to nature, and to spirit."

We invite you to come visit our little library, enjoy a cup of tea, and find your next great read.
Library hours are flexible, typically from 9am to 2pm Monday to Friday.  If this does not work with your schedule, please email us at info@livingearthcentermn.org to schedule a time that works for you!
