Event Description

Building a better world is a demanding and often challenging undertaking and its common to feel burnt out or even despairing.  Joanna Macy has devised a set of exercises that she now refers to as 'The Work that Reconnects' which can reconnect us with our purpose, empower us to action and/or rekindle our fire.  Myself and a colleague are offering a taster workshop in this inspiring work based on systems theory, buddhist philosophy and wisdom from various indiginous cultures in order to support you wonderful transitioners in your important work!  The workshop is offered free of charge and if it goes well we hope to make it a monthly event.  Please email for venue details- workshop is limited to 15 people. (As of Nov 4th, 11 registered.)

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
