Full Circle Associates

As technology permeates our daily lives, it helps, and it hurts. How does our increasing use and dependence on tools such as email, cell phones, iPods, or social networking sites effect our desire for human fulfillment and spiritual transformation? We don't know… Seriously, we don't. Do you?

In an age of dizzying technological innovation, one rarely has the time to stop and reflect on these changes. It's clear that our technologies are getting faster, more powerful and more ubiquitous. However, what's not so clear is: Does the added value outweigh the often unnoticed costs? Isn't that an important question?

Gathering Together
Take a day (or more) out of your busy lives, away from the technopoly, to join people like yourself for some deeper exploration into these crucial questions and issues. Humanity 2.0 will take place on beautiful Orcas Island, and includes:

• Stimulating dialog about balancing technology and humanity
• Meeting and mixing with other thoughtful people
• Interactivities with practical life-enhancing outcomes
• A delicious and mind-enriching lunch in an idyllic island setting
  

Where is it happening?
This Humanity 2.0 workshop will take place on Orcas Island , just two hours north of Seattle, in the historic Oddfellows Hall , overlooking Eastsound bay. In addition, we are able to offer a 30% discount at Orcas' famous Outlook Inn to a limited number of guests wishing to extend their visit. Call 1-877-I-AM-GAME for details.
