Ongoing collaborative workshops
focussing
on the current processes of change in ourselves and the world
towards
a more generous and creative future.
While
many of us are aware that the systems we are living with are not
serving the interests of the majority of humanity and are actually
damaging the foundations of life on this planet, we can feel
overwhelmed by helplessness to change direction. Our dependency on
these systems in providing our everyday needs, traps us into
supporting them. Lulled into a stupor by media, drugs and shopping, we are
complicit in our own destruction.
With
increasing world-wide communication our concern for the human family
and the whole biosphere is emerging. This understanding sees in the
breakdowns the possibility of a new consciousness breaking through
old habits of thought and patterns of behaviour, to an awareness of
ourselves as integral to the web of life. Since we are part of the
problem, can we be part of the solution? Can we become agents instead
of victims?
There
are already signs of awakening, and in these workshops we will look
at some which have contributed to my journey:
-
Transition Towns (Rob Hopkins)
-
The Work that Reconnects (Joanna Macy)
-
A Course in Miracles (Marrianne Williamson)
-
Agents of Conscious Evolution (Barbara Marx Hubbard)
-
The Empathic Civilisation (Jeremy Rifkin)
-
The Great Turning (David Korten)
-
Integral Enlightenment (Ken Wilbur)
-
Occupy (Charles Eisenstein)
Participants
may also want to present other sources to share which have resonated
with them.
Workshops
are free and will take place on Tuesdays from 3-5 starting May 8th
2012
at
Swarthmore Education Centre, Woodhouse Square, Leeds, LS31AD
