Golden Civilization Conversation: Julian Powe and George Kinder
A Golden Civilization Conversation for Those Over 75
Last week, in a local bookstore in Tempe, Arizona, Mary Zimmerman hosted a public Golden Civilization Conversation for her local community, asking that her friends, especially those over 75 years of age, come together for a heartfelt discussion about their vision of a Golden Civilization.
Mary, having worked closely with George, has read A Golden Civilization and the Map of Mindfulness, and already participated in two Golden Civilization Conversations, one in Irvine, California, and the other in Laguna Beach. She has hosted a Golden Civilization Conversation with a diverse audience in central Phoenix and one informally with four generations of her family in Austin, TX. She was inspired how each achieved stimulating, apolitical conversation.
Inspired by her sister, who would have been 75 this year, Mary wanted to gather an insightful group with some real life experience (those at least 75) to hear their great wisdom, insight, and perspective.
The resulting group shared a non-judgmental participatory conversation about what they did for fun growing up (and where), what they wanted from a Golden Civilization, one thing from the past they wanted to bring forward, and their action step to live into their shared vision for a Golden Civilization.

Golden Civilization Conversation: Jonathon Clark and George Kinder
Yesterday, Jonathon Clark joined George for a Golden Civilization Conversation via Facebook Live. Jonathon is a Registered Life Planner at Aloha Life Planning and author of It Was Never About The Money.
Don’t miss the chance to watch their engaging conversation about The Seven Stages, Impact Investing, and Religion.
Jonathon begins by speaking about his book and how it is based on the idea that money is neutral and oftentimes the reason people can feel trapped by it is often due to lessons or beliefs that we have about it from our childhood, which is similar to George’s own Seven Stages work, specifically Innocence and Pain. From here, the conversation shifts to a discussion of how the presenting problem is never the real problem, organically leading to a discussion about A Golden Civilization from the frame of removing this money mirage and economic conspiracy and striving toward economic integrity. George and Jonathon also speak about the Map of Mindfulness and the Tree of Life and how both the Buddhist and Jewish traditions have an overlap in many universal truths. Jonathon even brings in his expertise in astrology and its recent rise in popularity.
Jonathon has a long career in the financial sector, first working for four years as financial director of an engineering company in Walsall and then 26 years as an independent financial adviser specializing in ethical investment before founding Aloha Life Planning. He has written several articles on business, finance, and impact investing.
