Nora Bateson is the youngest daughter of famous anthropologist, systems thinker and social scientist, Gregory Bateson, who delighted in exploring with his children at an early age the way people think and the way the world works.

As a result, Nora grew up with a keen sense of the importance of observing the inter-relationships between people and their environment and between all elements of the environment, as well as an appreciation for the power of story.

As an adult, she specialized in media and film making and has now created a beautiful documentary, An Ecology of Mind, which exquisitely captures the essence of her father's thought and teachings.

The message of this film is fundamental to everyone who is concerned about living in a way that doesn't continue to trash the planet.

Nora will be in California for the posthumous induction of Gregory Bateson into the California Hall of Fame by Governor Jerry Brown, and she will be present at the California premiere of her film to introduce it and stay after to talk to the audience.

Tickets are $10 ($8 for seniors and students) and are available now at the Albany Twin box office and online [5].  

Please join us for this special event, the launch of An Ecology of Mind in the Bay Area where Gregory Bateson spent much of his life and a chance to meet a woman who represents a rare clarity on how the world works.
