SURPRISE FARM RETREAT CENTER
Ensemble Heroes Workshop
Saturday, Aug 9, 9 am - 5 pm
Join our one-day workshop about how we can approach heroism through a collective lens. How do individualistic tropes prevent us from engaging in effective action for each other and the planet? How can we participate in heroism and meaning-making that is safe for our bodies and good for our souls?
Activities include analysis of ensemble heroes in fiction and history, intention-setting, meditation, and yoga. This is a great opportunity for anyone who feels burnt out in their service work and struggles with the balance between doing things for themselves and others. When we switch from a main character to a "one of many main characters" mindset, we give permission for the groups we belong to to thrive when we can't contribute, and permission for ourselves to rest, think, and bring our clearest, most joyful selves to the causes we care about.
Suggested donation is $50; you may also chose "Other" on the registration page to put whatever donation amount is accessible to you, including $0 (we want you to attend!)
