Activism Council Gathering with Andrew Beath at Ocean Song Farm &
Wilderness Center
Sunday, May 11, 9am - 3pm
This council gathering will take a deeper look at what it means
to engage in "conscious activism" and "activism from
the heart" and how they differ from other types of activism.
We will explore emotional, psychological and philosophical wisdom
that promotes more effective and sustainable activism, with the objective
of improving the health and increasing the joy of the individual activist.
The council process and interactive dialogue will
be used to encourage genuinely authentic relating among our circle
of participants. Please call Ann at 707-874-1526 for information.
Attendance limited to first 20 who register. The
cost is $25 to $75, sliding scale. Make checks payable to EarthWays
