<br>
Thanks so much for sharing this book. The teaser video shows how
much these ideas are right on the pulse - and interesting how it
showed people in a circle around a beach. Opening space? Maybe not
specificially OST - but it sure looked like what inspired Harrison
Owen in the first place.<br>
<br>
What beautiful things would we do if money weren't in the way?
Open Space is a worthy endeavor to help communities engage with
hard questions, with the healing, and with the transformation of
this planetary organism.<br>
<br>
Raffi - given how awesome this book looks - what were your other
9?<br>

book among the top ten books anyone should read (aside
from any books one relies on for a spiritual
practice-- if one can make that distinction!). </div>

support all of us to think more deeply and carefully
about abundance, money, wealth, and such.</div>

style="background-color: transparent;">Eisenstein, to
me, understands and shares much like Harrison Owen and
others the power of Story and he offers a New Story of
the emerging economic system. Interestingly, one of
Eisenstein's next books will be on Story...</div>

My book club (we call it an "eating club with a

finding ourselves really stimulated by this book.<br>

book, but in the spirit of the kind of book it is, it
is<a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow"

href="http://sacred-economics.com/read-online/"> available
freely online</a>. There are numerous lectures on
Youtube, summarizing many of the ideas in the book.
And it has been translated into a few languages. This <a
