Shariff Abdullah - Bridge/USEM Guest Speaker

“Birthing The Nation of GAIA: Your Role in Creating a World for ALL”

Shariff Abdullah, founder of Commonway Institute in Portland, Oregon, will speak at a free community event to discuss where we are in the beginning of the labor pains that will birth a new human consciousness, one that will become the foundation of a new, mature, harmonized, and sustainable human civilization.

Based on Shariff Abdullah’s latest, groundbreaking book, Birthing the Nation of Gaia, we will explore the global consciousness shift that will enable our transition from a violent, ecologically and economically suicidal, spiritually bankrupt society—to one that is in alignment with our highest human aspirations. “A World for All” is not only possible, it’s the only thing that will save us from our own self-destruction.   

LIVE EVENT: FREE TO STUDENTS AND PUBLIC—Seating is first come, first served!
DATE:  26 April 2024
TIME:  6:30pm (Pacific)
PLACE:  Southern Oregon University, Stevenson Union Gallery (SU 323)
