The Church & Society/Social Justice Committee invites you to participate in a Meaningful Movies online event on Thursday, May 25 at 6pm. The event will include a showing of documentary ‘The Economics of Happiness,’ and a community discussion. This event is sponsored by Mt. Baker and West Seattle Meaningful Movies venues. They will open their Zoom room at 6pm and will start screening the film online starting at 6:05pm. The community conversation begins at 7:15pm.
The award-winning film, ‘The Economics of Happiness’, spells out the social, spiritual, and ecological costs of today’s global economy while highlighting the multiple benefits of economic localization. The film showcases the steps people are already taking worldwide to rebuild their local economies and communities. It features Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, David Korten, Samdhong Rinpoche, and other inspiring thinkers and activists.
