Osprey Orielle Lake Announces Upcoming Event with Jeremy Lent at Green Apple Books in San Francisco, CA
Osprey Orielle Lake will be at Green Apple Books in San Francisco, CA on Thursday, February 8, 2024, at 7pm to celebrate the release of her new book The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis. This event is open to the public.
Osprey Orielle Lake is the founder and executive director of the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN). Osprey works internationally with grassroots, BIPOC and Indigenous leaders, policymakers, and diverse coalitions to build climate justice, resilient communities, and a just transition to a decentralized, democratized clean-energy future. Her new book The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis will be released on January 30, 2024, published by New Society Publishers.
Book Description:
The dominant cultural worldview is based upon extraction and exploitation practices that have brought us to the precipice of social, environmental, and climate collapse. Braiding poetic storytelling, climate justice and deep cultural analyses, and the collective knowledge of Earth-centered cultures, The Story is in Our Bones opens a portal to restoration and justice beyond the end of a world in crisis.
Author, activist, and changemaker Osprey Orielle Lake weaves together ecological, mythical, political, and cultural understandings and shares her experiences working with global leaders, systems-thinkers, climate justice activists, and Indigenous Peoples. She seeks to summon a new way of being and thinking in the Anthropocene, which includes transforming the interlocking crises of colonialism, racism, patriarchy, capitalism, and ecocide, to build thriving Earth communities for all.
Lake calls forth historical memory of who we are in the Earth's lineage to bring into being the world we keenly long for, at the delicate threshold of great peril or great promise.
For anyone grieving our collective loss and wanting to take action, The Story is in Our Bones is a vital guide to remaking our world. This hopeful, engaging, and creatively lyrical work reminds readers that another world is possible, and provides a desperately needed antidote to the pervasive despair of our time.
Osprey Orielle Lake will be in conversation with Jeremy Lent. Jeremy Lent, described by Guardian journalist George Monbiot as “one of the greatest thinkers of our age,” is an author and speaker whose work investigates the underlying causes of our civilization’s existential crisis, and explores pathways toward a life-affirming future. His new book, The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe, offers a coherent and intellectually solid foundation for a worldview based on connectedness that could lead humanity to a sustainable, flourishing future.
This event will take place at Green Apple Books: 1231 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122. You can join the event in-person (on Thursday, February 8th, 2024 at 7pm) or watch the event online at https://www.greenapplebooks.com/event/
