Award-winning activist and environmental advocate Van Jones will be the
guest speaker on behalf of the University of Minnesota's Center for
Spirituality & Healing and its new interdisciplinary initiative called Whole
Systems Healing. Whole Systems Healing teaches students to become agents of
social change while exploring the social and environmental dimensions of
healing. 

 

Van Jones is the founder and president of Green for All
(www.greenforall.org) and author of the recently released The Green Collar
Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems. An award-winning
activist, Jones is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress as
well as co-founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. In addition,
Jones is a board member of 1Sky, the Apollo Alliance, and a fellow with the
Institute of Noetic Sciences.

We also welcome Koji Nakamura from the Shumei Taiko Ensemble for a special
performance. Please plan to stay after the lecture to learn about Community
Earth Councils, presented by Utne Institute founder, Eric Utne.

The Whole Systems Healing initiative and Mr. Jones' public address are
offered by the Center for Spirituality & Healing in partnership with the
Life Science Foundation. The event is co-sponsored by the Utne Institute.
