The Magic of Connection: Social Permaculture
FREE WEBINAR
With Starhawk
Tues, Dec 18, 5 - 6:30 pm PST
Instructor & Host
Starhawk
Description
Magic and permaculture are both based on the understanding that all life is connected. Yet connecting with the people in our circles is often the hardest part. Co-creative and collaborative groups can be empowering and inspiring, but they face unique challenges. So often we come together full of enthusiasm, only to flounder on the rocks of conflict and poor communication. Drawing on insights from both permaculture and magic in her latest book, The Empowerment Manual, Starhawk will explore how the principles of ecological design apply to people-care as well as gardens. When we learn to work together more skillfully, we can be even more effective agents of change.

She continues to be a witness for peace on the front lines of the Palestine/Israel war, working with Palestinian and Israeli peace activists.
