::Invitation to the forum: Connection, Empowerment, Social Action::

-A message from Jonathan-

~~
The Purpose of this message:
We are interested in gathering an intimate group of individuals committed to a common vision - healing our mother earth: the creation of a sustainable civilization.
~~

Overall Vision:
To take part in the creation of a sustainable civilization.

Connection, Empowerment, Social Action -
Vision for this Forum:
A committed group of 4-6 individuals whom meet once a week for 4-6 weeks and engage in interactive exercises and group work designed to awaken the capacity for ones connection and the capacity to be whole, authentic, empowered beings. We will identify our gifts, season them, and support one another in the manifestation of them. For me and kari, this serves as a training to season our skills. We will be working with exercises that we may have never before facilitated. This is a not for profit endeavor.

Mission:
Proposed meetings will be an exploration of experiential exercises, opportunities to facilitate for those interested, and light, optional reading.
Proposed setting will be on a location that suits those involved – (we are located in Sebastopol, Ca), on a day that works for everyone.
The 2 textbooks for this module are
