[Orange_County_Permaculture] April 10-14 "Social Permaculture: Nurturing Effective and Creative Groups" Starhawk

[Wesley Roe and Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

"Social Permaculture: Nurturing Effective and Creative Groups"
An Earth Activist Training course.
Wednesday - Sunday, April 10-14

When we come together to co-create, to empower one another or to 
challenge the structures of unjust power, we face unique challenges. All 
groups struggle with issues of power, conflicts, and the need to make 
decisions. Collaborative groups may be healing, nurturing, and 
inspirational—or they may founder on the rocks of conflict and poor 
communication.

In this five-day intensive, we'll explore how to structure our groups 
for maximum group health, how to share power fairly, improve our 
communication skills, mediate conflicts and facilitate group processes. 
And we'll share tools for decision making and constructive critique. 
Starhawk's latest book, The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for 
Collaborative Groups, will be our foundation.

We'll balance the process work with time outdoors in nature, including 
hands-on work on the land, as well as walks, bird sits and wilderness 
awareness. Insights from both permaculture and magic will help us learn 
to be more effective and joyful as we work together to regenerate our 
world.

Starhawk and Charles Williams, instructors.
