​An Evening of Film, Conversation, and Collective Sense-Making

​Wildfires, floods, rising costs of living, growing inequality, geopolitical tensions, the threat of AI—many of us feel that something in our world is no longer working. Are these separate challenges, or are they somehow connected? How might we navigate this moment and come out on the other side?

​Join us for an evening of film and conversation, as we explore how these challenges might be linked to stories we tell ourselves about progress, growth, and success. And how GDP is a grossly flawed measure of human and planetary flourishing.

​We will be screening the documentary The Cost of Growth, which invites us to look beneath today’s crises and ask deeper questions about our economic systems, whose interests they serve, and what alternative futures might be possible.

​The screening will be followed by a lightly facilitated conversation—no prior expertise required, just curiosity and openness.
