> Dear Community,

> Metahistory.org, The Marion Institute and Transitions Radio Magazine 

> present, Our Future Beyond History: Weaving The Strands Of A Luminous 

> Tapestry, a live Webcast Event, Sunday, June 12, 2005, 12 Noon to 4 

> PM, Mountain Daylight Time. This is the first in a series of real 

> time, cyber-events, broadcast in high quality audio fidelity, on the 

> Internet. Deena Metzger will be among the guests addressing issues 

> critical to the current turning-point in global awareness. As keynote 

> to this event, each guest participant will respond to this question:

>

> What is the single most essential action that will lead to a positive 

> future?

>

> The discussion will explore how to imagine and actually create a 

> future “beyond history,” that is, beyond the current “script” of 

> events dictated by the dominant cultural paradigm, as interpreted by 

> the media, government, education, and religion.

>

> Metahistory.org proposes that “the shift for the human species now is 

> less a change of events than a change in how events are told, a 

> passage into mythmaking that can inspire a future worth living.” The 

> aim of this event is to elicit a concrete sense of such a future.

>

> There will be Q&A and discussion periods with listeners live, on-line, 

> globally. An active computer monitor will display guest bios and other 

> information as well as allowing for instant email input and questions 

> from registered listeners. Music bridges will integrate the program 

> segments.
