David James Duncan's talk, "Heart of the Monster,” was produced for the Bedrock Lectures on Human Rights and Climate Change, sponsored by the Spring Creek Project.
Duncan takes a “show and tell” approach on one of the wild and scenic rivers that was the scene of a peoples’ victory over Big Oil in 2010. He also borrows (with permission) a Nez Perce creation myth to emphasize that there is no such thing as a “Corporate Person.” "Person," David contends, is a vital word that can only designate a human being endowed with a heart, a conscience, and a soul.
David also emphasizes that to bring peace, balance, and wholeness to our activist efforts, we need creative, artistic and spiritual practices, and down time in the places we love.
