Home by Another Way: the Return of Wisdom

Bill Beardslee

Workshop description:

It is no secret that the “ways of the western society” have largely failed to transform the world to a place of balance, justice, mercy, and peace. All of Creation groans under our weight of human abuse and neglect. Its renewable resources continue to dwindle because of our voracious, predatory, consumer appetites.

Yet all over the globe indigenous people and non-indigenous people experience the influx of a new energy, a new time, a time of deep and great transformation. In this workshop we explore some new ways of seeing, being, and experiencing the exciting reality that we are who we have been waiting for all along, that we are the agents of love and transformation, that we hold the fate of our aching Mother earth in our hearts and hands. We will touch upon some indigenous and non-indigenous forms to assist us, building community that raises to awareness the undeniable reality of our essential Unity in Spirit, the inseparable bond of interrelatedness and all that implies for our daily, practical lives.

Please be prepared to spend the majority of this workshop outside!
