As a call for a better world and a counterpoint to the inauguration in Washington DC we gathered for a day of Resistance and Resilience.
Meditation on Protection for the Country and Targeted Groups (Part 1)
As the Inauguration begins, we will join together for a collective meditation to strengthen the forces of truth and democracy, deepen our will to resist tyranny and create justice, and strengthen our communities. Led by Starhawk.
Resilient Solutions to the Climate Crisis (Part 2)
The climate crisis is one of the gravest dangers to our lives, communities, and the health of the earth—and one issue at risk of extreme mismanagement in the coming administration. Yet there are solutions, and there are many things we can do in our communities to mitigate some of the worst impacts, organize support and mutual aid, and create resilience in our human and natural ecosystems. Join us for ideas and stories of what can be and is being done. Presentations by Starhawk, Charles Williams, and Erik Ohlsen
Groups, Guilds and Community (Part 3)
In challenging times, we all need support. And when we set out to challenge ingrained power structures, as we will need to do in the coming years, we need LOTS of support! Forming a small group of trusted friends to organize, strategize and act together is one way to counter the tide of authoritarianism. But groups often founder on the rocks of conflict. Join Starhawk and friends to explore how we can best structure our groups and organizations to navigate conflict and create welcoming, nurturing and empowering spaces. Led by Starhawk and Dr. Diane J. Johnson
Ritual of Resistance and Resilience (Part 4)
How do we strengthen ourselves spiritually and emotionally to resist the rise of authoritarianism, revive our commitment to building a world of equity and justice, and to foster resilience in our human and natural ecosystems? Join Starhawk, Charles Williams and the Earth Activist Training team for some counter-inaugural magic to hone our personal skills, learn new tools for staying grounded in challenging times and deepen our sense of connection and community. Led by Starhawk, music by Evelie Posch, and support from the Earth Activist Training team.
