- REBOOT: The New Human Operating System for a Busy World by Abigail StasonRogue Valley Metaphysical Library, Ashland, OR
FREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14
Are you feeling overloaded in our busy world? In a global gig economy, where every system is stretched and the world is upside down, humans are lonelier, more disconnected, and divided. Today’s challenges have left many wondering how we continue to exist and thrive.
Individuals yearn for something more amidst the challenges they face. However, they often struggle to pinpoint the precise questions to ask: How can I foster better relationships with others? What lies at the root of my inner turmoil? How do I effectively traverse this complex landscape? How do I not only survive but thrive in the modern world?
There’s an elusive quality to it—craving something deeper and the practical skills essential for navigating today’s world. People grapple with the biggest existential question: Who am I amidst the complexities of today’s world, and how can I navigate it authentically?
A new level of consciousness is needed, where we are aware of and take responsibility for our impact on ourselves, the environment, and others, inviting us to learn and adapt our behavior, creating societies of agile human beings. This is the new Human Operating System.
Join us as Abby shares:
• How technology is advancing faster than we are as a species
• Why our current human operating system is outdated
• What the new human operating system looks like
• Skills you can take away and start applying right away
• How to experience more peace, ease, and freedomWe must cultivate skillful human beings. Together, let’s forge a path toward a world defined by peace, tranquility, and civility.
