Experience Naropa: The Humans are Dead! Long live the Humans! A (non-dual) Sustainability Story
August 5th, 2022
"Humans are a cancer and we are killing the Earth!" Have you ever heard someone say that? How about this one: "If we can grow our economy fast enough, then technology will solve all of our problems." How did hearing those make you feel? Are these two statements at odds? Or maybe they're both true. No, they are both false! Ok, now I am confused.
The story of humanity's emergence from the Olduvai Gorge, our global distribution, our phenomenal growth and cultural evolution into the geologic change agent we are today (see: Anthropocene) is a long and fascinating one. Or is it short and uninteresting? In this sample class, we will explore the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, from the lens of non-duality, and how we can change our story to create a new narrative for a flourishing future.
Michael Bauer (He/Him) arrived as Naropa's first Director of Sustainability in January 2018, thanks to the concerted efforts of motivated students and their faculty supporters. He works alongside students, faculty, and staff in resolute commitment to our mission of climate neutrality and ecological justice. Since that time, he has added the role of Director of the Joanna Macy Center for Resilience and Regeneration. He also teaches COR222 Sustainability Seminar: Regenerative Community in Action. He is passionate about developing novel solutions in climate mitigation, humanitarian engineering and regenerative agriculture for solving entrenched challenges of poverty and community resilience. Michael has presented original research at the Humanitarian Technology conference of MIT, and is published in Procedia Engineering, Coastal Transitions and the Athens Journal of Education.
