"If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am
convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for
this life is even greater than their fear." - Joanna Macy
About the Conference Components:
- THE WORK THAT RECONNECTS
The Work That Reconnects is a pioneering form of group work
that began in the 1970s. It demonstrates our interconnectedness
in the web of life and our authority to take action on its behalf.
It has helped many thousands around the globe find insight,
solidarity, and courage to act, despite rapidly worsening
conditions. Based on systems theory, spiritual teachings, and
deep ecology.
- EIGHT SHIELDS MENTORING AND NATURE CONNECTION
The 8 shields mentoring model is based on the patterns that can
be observed in nature. It models these cycles in a way that allows
the observer to categorize these patterns and apply them in a
variety of settings. This mentoring approach is very effective at
mapping the flow of learning. This model is also used for
organizing effective team interactions and cultural processes
within community, educational, business, and many other settings.
- THEORY OF SPIRAL DYNAMICS
Spiral Dynamics is a theory of human development based on the
idea that human nature is not fixed: humans are able, when
forced by life conditions, to adapt to their environment by
constructing new, more complex, conceptual models of the world
that allow them to handle the new problems. Each new model
includes and transcends all previous models.
- MEDIATION FOR SOCIAL CHANGE USING NVC
This workshop gives an introduction to our training program that
strengthens your abilities to apply the skills of Nonviolent
Communication (NVC) to all aspects of conflict - inner and outer,
in your own life as well as others’, and in all types of conflict
situations – from business/organizational to personal, family and
community relationships. Emphasis is placed on seeing one’s
relationship with conflict as a life practice of returning to
presence (i.e. mindful awareness) and mediating from empathic
connection with the needs of self and others and making clear,
“doable” requests to meet the needs of all compassionately.
- DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE AND THRIVING CITIES
How can we focus on reshaping cities, towns and villages for long
term health of human and natural systems? By returning healthy
biodiversity to the heart of our cities, agriculture to gardens and
the streets, and convenience and pleasure to walking, bicycling
and transit. We visualize a future in which waterways in
neighborhood environments and prosperous downtown centers
are opened for curious children, fish, frogs and dragonflies. We
will learn about building thriving neighborhood centers while
reversing sprawl development, to build whole cities based on
human needs and “access by proximity” rather than cities built in
the current pattern of automobile driven excess, wasteful
consumption and the destruction of the biosphere.
- COMMUNITY RESILIENCE AND TRANSITION TOWNS
The Transition Town process supports community‐led responses to
peak oil and climate change, building resilience and happiness.
Central to the Transition Town movement is the idea that a life
without oil could in fact be far more enjoyable and fulfilling as
the coming post-cheap oil era is an opportunity rather than a
threat, and we can design the future low carbon age to be
thriving, resilient and abundant — somewhere much better to
live than our current alienated consumer culture.
- THE ECOLOGY OF LEADERSHIP
Ecology of Leadership programs have served hundreds of non-
profit leaders, community activists, eco-social entrepreneurs,
and other conscious change-makers, in deepening their paths
of service and the effectiveness and fulfillment with which they
bring their gifts, visions, and passions into their lives,
organizations, communities, and the world.
During this 1-day intensive, you will have the opportunity to
touch into the essence, core principles, and practices of the
Ecology of Leadership journey, which integrates pathways for
self-awareness and nature-connection with principles of
regenerative systems thinking and Permaculture.
Come and take part in germinating a new paradigm of
regenerative, heart-centered, nature-sourced leadership and
learn how engaging this unique and transformative model
could support you in stepping more powerfully into your gifts,
your passions and more firmly onto your path of service in the
world.
- ACCELERATING TRANSITION TO GREEN ECONOMY
The green economy is growing at a rapid rate and will
increasingly challenge the existing, unsustainable economy.
Evidence of this paradigm shift can be seen in growing
consumer demand for nature-friendly products, huge
investments in renewable energy and clean-tech sectors,
and more corporate leaders acknowledging social/environmental
responsibility as a competitive advantage.
