FiLM & Speaking Engagement

Monday, December 29, 7pm at Dancing Deer

2975 Vineyard Dr., Templeton (or click HERE)

“Consume This Movie” along with Cecile Andrews,

author of “Slow Is Beautiful” & “The Circle of Simplicity”

  Are Americans too materialistic? Are we willfully trashing the  
planetary ecology in order to serve the desires and drives of the ego?  
And what, or who could be driving this powerful force of seduction?  
Consume This Movie takes a critical look at social injustice, peak  
oil, resource depletion and our deep need to feel connected to each  
other through what we choose to consume. This 80 minute documentary  
also examines the frenzied pace of fast-lane materialism that is  
beginning to burn us out. We Americans are just now beginning to yearn  
for a simpler life, but is it too late? Have we set in motion a  
runaway train that threatens to undermine the ecological, social and  
spiritual cornerstones that make the pursuit of happiness possible in  
the first place? Walk, don’t drive to see this powerful documentary  
film, while supplies last!

Woven into this exploration are interviews with Dr. Peter Whybrow,  
American Mania, Juliet B. Schor, The Overspent American, simplicity  
guru’s Cecile Andrews and Duane Elgin, photographic artist Chris  
Jordan, advertising expert James. B. Twitchell and Post Carbon  
Institutes Julian Darley among others.

The discussion after the film will be about Solutions: Transition  
Towns as well as the Phinney EcoVillage Neighborhood. Cecile is the  
founder of the Phinney Ecovillage, a project to build Sustainability  
and Community in her North Seattle Neighborhood. For information, go  
to www.phinneyecovillage.net.

She has been a visiting scholar at Stanford University where she  
received her doctorate in education, and an affiliated scholar with  
Seattle University. A former community college administrator, she now  
works with community groups to explore the issue of living more  
simply: how to live lives that are sustainable, just, and joyful.

She is director of The Simplicity Circles Project with Seeds of  
Simplicity and a member of the steering committee of The Simplicity  
Forum. For Transition folks, she is at http://transitioncalifornia.ning.com/profile/CecileAndrews
