>> "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.
>>
>> Due to the complexity of logistics of this event, schedule and
>> speakers are subject to change.
