12 - 21 - 26 NOVEMBER 2020 FROM 20:00 UTC+01-22:00 UTC+01
Inner Resilience for Current Times
Online
What if we slowed down? What if we learnt how to be with each other? What if we fell in love with the Earth?
What if we listened to what we deeply care for?
Recognising that our current society lives in a way that is fast-paced, stressful, and alienating, this series of events offers simple practices and inspiration to help us to slow down, and develop more intimate and caring relationships with ourselves, our communities and the Earth.
When we stay grounded and connected, when we better notice what’s going on inside us and around us, we can make wiser choices and take more meaningful actions.
We believe that inner transformation is key to reconnecting with ourselves, our communities and the Earth, so that we can create a more beautiful future for all life.
What will happen?
We invite you to join us for all three or any of the individual events, that will focus on the following three aspects of reconnection:
November 12th

November 21st
Focusing on deepening our relationship with the Earth, using Contemplation and Creativity to empower ourselves through Nature.
November 26th
Focused on strengthening relationships within our communities, using the Way of Council to listen deeply and touch togetherness.
