“The measure of a man is what he does with power.”Plato
I look forward to a great future for America – a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.John F. Kennedy

Join panelists Ginny Whitelaw, Roger Walsh, Jeff Salzman, Gail Hochachka, and Bert Parlee in this far-ranging discussion about power — how to relate to it, how to wield it, and how to avoid getting trampled by it. Let’s explore how we might go about better integrating power in our selves and in society, deepening our wisdom and virtue as we work together to meet the great challenges and opportunities of our time.

If you haven’t already seen it, we highly recommend that you check out Robb Smith’s keynote address, A New War for Power, before watching this panel.

Topics include:

  • How does the recent cultural conversation around power resonate for you personally?
  • Where do we go from here? What does the world look like in 10 years?
  • How do we take more responsibility for our power in a democratic society?
  • How can we communicate about power in a way that cuts through the noise of our culture wars?
  • How do we re-integrate our own dissociated power?
  • What can we do about gun violence?
  • How can we be more realistic about the great dangers of this historic era?
  • How do we exercise our power in more conscious ways?

    Hello, I think David R. Hawkins’ distinction between Force (usually mistaken for Power) and real Power (Spiritual) would be very useful in making the conversation, and ideas, feelings, etc. a lot clearer…

    I appreciate their comments about power but I do not like to hear their critical comments about Trump; Clinton would have not a better choice for this country
