EMBRACING THE GLOBAL EDGE TIMES,WITH HEART & COMMUNITYA workshop in the tradition of Joanna Macy
with Tree Bressen Saturday & Sunday, February 25-26
Eugene, Oregon We live in a time of crisis, what some call the "Edge Times." The security of all past generations, that while individual or even many individual lives might be lost, humanity would continue and endure, is no longer with us. Cheap energy has accelerated the cycle of karma and consequences, and we humans must figure out wiser ways to co-exist, or else perish. This workshop is an opportunity to delve into the feelings we carry about these possibilities: our grief, fear, and despair--and, our hopes for the Great Turning, the transformation from an industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization. There are two ways to respond to collective trauma: we can let it divide us, or we can let it bring us together. This weekend is a conscious choice to take the path of connection through these intense challenges, a path with heart, leading to empowered action of behalf of the world we long to birth into being. To register, contact: Miaya Sustaita at [information deleted after workshop] This workshop is being offered free of charge. Pre-registration is required. Participants are expected to attend the entire two days. Participants will be asked to help provide food for the event. Location and other information will be sent upon receipt of registration. Tree Bressen has a calling to group facilitation and has worked with a wide variety of organizations on how to put their ideals into action. Her work arises from more than a decade of community life, currently at Walnut St. Co-op in Eugene. After studying with Joanna Macy last summer, this workshop will be her first time leading the Work that Reconnects. Click here to download a PDF flyer for this workshop. Tree Bressen |
