Can you imagine a world where war is outdated, there is no shortage of resources?
Future by Design is a documentary film by Academy Award® nominated filmmaker William Gazecki, sharing the life and far-reaching vision of Jacque Fresco, a modern day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque was a self-taught futurist who described himself most often as a multi-disciplinarian or “generalist” -- a student of many inter-related fields. He was a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (March 13, 1916 – May 18, 2017) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which entail the use of innovative technology.  

The film explores Fresco’s world of the future, where scientific method, not politics, rules world operations, and all human activities and efforts are directed towards achieving dynamic equilibrium between man and nature.  Future by Design is a visually and intellectually engaging exploration of one man’s vision of a future where war is outdated, there is no shortage of any necessary resource, and our focus as a species is sustainability.  But far from presenting a vision of Utopia, this documentary demonstrates a “possible future” -- with real and viable alternatives to our current paradigm of militarism and commercialism.  Jacque Fresco is an outspoken and immediately likable character who’s radical and sometimes irreverent ideas are sure to draw both praise and controversy.

Hope to see you there  :)

-----------Other Local Events---------




Raja Yoga and Satsang

Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

A Day-long Silent Meditation Retreat and Satsang
Sunday July 9th. 2017
at
Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio

Seeing that meditation brings the most significant change to our lives, I thought to have a day long retreat that allows us to dive deeper and stay longer in the bliss of meditation.

The day will consist mostly of sitting meditation punctuated by:  rest, relaxation, sound meditation, pranayama, gentle asanas, Satsang, and light vegan lunch.  The retreat goes from 7:00am to 7:00pm.  Join in at any time and stay for as long as you would like.
