Earthlands, Petersham MA 7th Annual Winter Deep Ecology Retreat January 17-19, 1997 A Soul-Nourishing gathering for Earth-lovers and Eco-activists, co-created by the participants. We will come together to nuture, inspire, and honor each other and MOTHER EARTH through ritual and celebration, sharing circles, songs and chants, drumming, dancing, breathing, laughing, crying and more... For this weekend we will co-create a SACRED AND LOVING COMMUNITY to share our stories and explore our issues. We will address our pain, desires, needs, frustrations, hopes and dreams in living fully on Earth. We'll use breathwork, deep sharing circles, ritual, yoga, remembering, movement, song and more, to _celebrate_ our relationships with ourselves, one another, our society and our mother/father Earth. We'll explore specific ways to support ourselves and each other, and to integrate this experience into our lives in the world. There will by plenty of opportunity to interact with the natural community and explore the land. During this weekend we will live as a community, sharing in the preparation and cleanup of our meals.

From a "Council of All Beings" to "Earthstory" and each one/everyone has been wonderful. There is a special warmth and groundedness to the community. I feel strongly about their message and the earthly integrity shared by all. Paul Aime [log in to unmask]]
