Dear friends and colleagues,
Please join the UMass Permaculture Initiative in welcoming *Frances 
Moore Lappé* to campus to speak about her inspirational new book, 
_EcoMind_, and how we can "change the way we think, to create the world 
we want." Ms. Lappé will speak on *Wednesday June 20, 2012.* This event 
begins at 6pm on the 11th floor of the Campus Center at UMass Amherst. 
All are welcome!
_Please *RSVP* today to reserve your seat on our invitation page_: 
http://anyvite.com/events/home/hnfrlhouak. Spots are limited!
*About the Event*
Ms. Lappé will be kicking off the Permaculture Your Campus Conference 
with this public event. The conference will be held at UMass Amherst 
June 20-22, 2012. More information about this conference can be found on 
our conference website, www.UMassPermacultureConference.com 
<http://www.UMassPermacultureConference.com>. This event is free for all 
registered attendees to the conference, and it is open to the public 
with suggested donations of $5-20 at the door. No one will be turned 
away for lack of funds. All donations will go towards scholarships for 
the conference.
*About EcoMind*
Drawing on the latest research from disciplines ranging from 
anthropology to neuroscience and her own field experience, Lappé argues 
that the biggest challenge to human survival isn't our fossil fuel 
dependency, melting glaciers, or other calamities. Rather, she says, 
it's our faulty way of thinking about these environmental crises that 
robs us of power. Lappé dismantles seven common "thought traps" that 
belie what we now know about nature, including our own, and offers 
contrasting "thought leaps" that suggest our hidden power.
*About Frances Moore Lappé*
Frances Moore Lappé is the author of 18 books including EcoMind, which 
recently won a silver medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards. 
Ms. Lappé is the cofounder of three organizations, including Food First: 
The Institute for Food and Development Policy and, more recently, the 
Small Planet Institute, a collaborative network for research and popular 
education seeking to bring democracy to life, which she leads with her 
daughter Anna Lappé.
