SUMMARY:Reading from Crush: My Year as an Apprentice Winemaker
DESCRIPTION:In Crush Nicholas O’Connell provides a behind-the-scenes look at the daily operations of some of the world’s most prestigious wineries on the West Coast. \nThis insider’s view of the wine world includes the intense competition for the best grapes\, the bizarre lingo of the tasting rooms\, and the visionary winemakers who magically transform grapes into high-end wine. It is a world that includes not only romance and refinement but long hours\, backbreaking labor\, mind-numbing repetition\, and fanatical dedication to quality. Such devotion resulted in the 1973 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet that won the best red wine at the 1976 Judgment of Paris and transformed the U.S. wine industry. \nO’Connell’s quest to master the art of wine making begins in his garage. From there he embarks on an apprenticeship at Betz and DeLille Cellar and other great wineries in California\, Oregon\, and Washington. He provides a first-person\, ground-up view of a business not yet fully explored despite record interest in wine. O’Connell also includes conversations with some of the world’s most gifted vintners\, including Warren Winiarski\, former owner of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars.

SUMMARY:RVML presents : Maturing Our Relationship to Technology with Beni Oren
DESCRIPTION:“Finding attentional sovereignty in an age of digital distraction.” \nThis is the tale of our time. As implied by the name of the presentation\, we currently have an immature relationship to technology that is guided by naivete\, selfishness\, and addiction. Whether it’s weapons of mass destruction or distraction\, they are expressions of our collective lack of wisdom. \nTechnology is an inextricable part of humanity\, and we must learn to have a healthier relationship with it. We are being tested to see if we deserve continuance in the Universe. We can only save the world and pass one down worth living in if we cultivate the love and wisdom needed to be responsible stewards of our godlike technology. \nCome and learn about what technology is and what its optimal role in human civilization could look like. We need as many people as possible to have these conversations. \nWhat are the origins of technology/ why do we have tech\, and all the other species don’t?\nHow technology affects society in complex and unseen ways\nThe rise of the internet\, the iPhone\, and social media\nThe intricacies of how our phones damage our mental and physical health\nWhat conditions make us susceptible to addiction\, vs what conditions make us more sovereign?\nWhat role should technology play in a healthy and harmonious civilization?\nSome tips for how to find technological balance\n“We have paleolithic emotions\, medieval institutions\, and godlike technology.” – E.O. Wilson. \nBeni Oren is a writer\, speaker\, and facilitator. His facilitation skills range from meditation to qigong to intentional communication practices. He is a systems theorist and social philosopher concerned with designing a regenerative civilization. He is a culture architect interested in seeing a world where we collectively and harmoniously reach our highest potential. \nHe grew up on the beautiful beaches of Southern California. His journey began with a transformative meditation retreat at 19 years old\, which opened his eyes to the great mystery and inherent beauty within all of life. Since then\, he has lived his life seeking to understand global suffering and how we can create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
