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 does the myth of a hero-elect prevent us from engaging in effective action for each other and the planet? How can we build the courage to stand up for our values, and how does a greater number of people acting bravely reduce risk for all?
Activities include analysis of ensemble heroes in fiction and history,
intention-setting, meditation, and yoga. This is a great opportunity for
anyone who wants to live a life more aligned with their values.
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!)
