SUMMARY:Wine and Cheese: Oneness vs. the 1%
DESCRIPTION:Oneness Vs. the 1%\nby Dr. Vandana Shiva\nPresented by: Marisa 
 Ortiz\n\nJoin Marisa Ortiz\, Founder and Principal Consultant of Intercult
 ural Talent\, as she reviews Dr. Vandana Shiva’s seminal book\, Oneness 
 vs. the 1%: Shattering Illusions\, Seeding Freedom (featuring a new epilog
 ue on resisting the billionaire war on life).\nDrawing on her extensive ba
 ckground facilitating and serving professionals remotely in over 45 countr
 ies and across 8-person international locations\, alongside visionary lead
 ers in various regional sectors\, Marisa will lead an interactive explorat
 ion connecting Shiva’s critique of global monopolies directly to the wor
 kplace.\nIn Oneness vs. the 1%\, Dr. Shiva explores the concept of top-dow
 n "philanthrocapitalism" and corporate empires enforce rigid monocultures
 —over food\, technology\, finance\, and human relationship—at the expe
 nse of democratic diversity and ecological balance.\nMarisa will translate
  Shiva's core Gandhian principles—Swaraj (self-governance and agency)\, 
 Swadeshi (local resilience and diversity)\, and Satyagraha (truth force an
 d operational integrity)—into practical strategies that resist organizat
 ional uniformity\, elevate global teams\, and nourish sustainable workplac
 e ecosystems.\nKey Discussion Points:\nDismantling Corporate Monocultures 
 (Swadeshi): Identify how standardized\, top-down systems derail diversity\
 , suppress authentic employee identity\, and erode intercultural agility a
 cross global teams.\nReclaiming Autonomy & Real Work (Swaraj): Shift from 
 centralized control to decentralized trust\, empowering mission-driven lea
 ders and local talent with true agency and ownership.\nLeading with Truth 
 & Operational Integrity (Satyagraha): Cultivate ethical alignment and psyc
 hological safety by resisting performative corporate policies in favor of 
 real well-being and transparency.\nJoin us for an evening of reflection an
 d connection over wine and cheese\, in person or over zoom. \n\n\nWHEN:\n\
