Calin Costian (USA) – Centre for Evolutionary Learning (CEL)

Our American special guest will arrive to Toronto, on Fri, Jan 29, around midnight, after a straight flight from Texas, USA. On Saturday he will be in Burlington at the 1st Public Program in Ontario in 2016 that is connected to CPO21 Climate Change Conference – Paris, 2015.  He is booked for interviews and had been and invited at several yoga gatherings during his stay in Burlington, before flying back home, same weekend on Sunday.

Calin will be speaking about The Role Enlightened Corporations Can Play In Climate Change.

From the alarm signals scientists have been warning us about for a long time to the COP21, climate change is real. Happening here, now.

Corporations are intricately linked with our society and the environment. “Green” and “sustainable” have become buzzwords every corporation seeks to attach to its name.

But do they truly reflect a change in the behaviors of an organization that positively impact our planet? What does it take to change the DNA of an organization?

Calin will be presenting a few key aspects of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of this singular transformation of human consciousness based on his first-hand experience over the past decades.
