SUMMARY:The Alchemy of Release: A Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Lotus Institute will host The Alchemy of Release: A retreat on grounding and letting go September 23-25 on Zoom. \nThich Nhat Hanoh defined nirvana as letting go. Grounding ourselves in the present moment\, we can learn to relax into letting go and become more available to life. \n\n\n\n\n\n“Letting go gives us freedom\, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If\, in our heart\, we still cling to anything—anger\, anxiety\, or possession—we cannot be free.”— Thich Nhat Hanh\n\n\n\n\nDuring this 3-day online retreat\, Dharma Teachers Sister Peace\, Ava Avalos\, Joe Reilly and Peggy Rowe-Ward will explore the embodied practice of letting go. Ava Avalos will offer mindful movement through dance and restorative yoga. Joe Reilly brings the gift of ritual and music. Sister Peace will share stories and walking meditation. Peggy Rowe-Ward offers teachings and experiential exercises that help us return to our wise hearts and practice letting go like a river. \n\nLearn more and register here

SUMMARY:Building a Magical Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:Join Starhawk in her new session of Magical Activism for 2022 beginning July 20. \nDeepen your political activism and magical skills to focus collective power towards challenging and shifting unjust power structures. \n\n\n\n\n\nRight now\, we need tools to counter the manipulative magic that fragments our attention and sways our emotions—from clickbait on the internet to disinformation on Fox News. Lies scream\, while truth whispers. Anxiety\, outrage\, grievance and fear are amplified until they turn into outright hatred. \nBut we can use our magical and practical tools to change this\, to drain away the toxicity and amplify truth and compassion. And those same tools can build community and help each one of us stay grounded\, energized and hopeful through troubled times. \nTo use the full range of our tools to shift collective consciousness\, we’ll provide resources for taking practical action—that’s how we ground the magic and intensify its impact. \nJoin Starhawk in a new session of Magical Activism for 2022 as we upgrade our magical toolboxes together\, and learn how to use everything in them!  \nDeep Political Activism\nI’ve always loved Dion Fortune’s definition of magic: “the art of changing consciousness at will.” It’s always seemed to me to be a perfect definition of deep political activism: not just challenging unjust power\, but shifting the consciousness that accepts injustice. \nTo enact this deep work\, we’ll meet live online roughly every three weeks from mid-July through November (schedule below). Each session will focus on an issue relevant to the moment\, and each will incorporate a specific magical skill. You’ll have ‘homework’—ways to continue the magic between sessions. \nWith crucial midterm elections coming up for the United States in November\, our work will have a U.S. focus—but the tools and skills will be relevant wherever you are. \nWhile we’ll respond to the events of the moment\, here are some of the issues we are likely to cover: \n\n\n\nDefending Democracy\nReproductive Rights and Gender Justice\nRacial Justice\nClimate Change\nCountering Disinformation\nElection magic\nPeace\n\n\n\n  \nHow Magical Activism Works\nThis is a 4-month series that runs between July 2022-November 2022. It’s a live\, cohort-based course which means it centers on our live rituals hosted on Zoom on Wednesdays roughly every 3 weeks. It also means that everyone in the course is joining in live too\, and learning and working together and organizing on the same timeline. \nEach session will focus on a different activist cause. We will do a ritual to add magic to the cause\, then commit to taking solid action towards that cause. \nOnce you register (by donation)\, you’ll be invited via email to our private online learning community where you will be able to access upcoming live links and past recordings\, connect with other magical activists between sessions\, share ideas\, respectfully debate\, and organize. \nEach session includes: a live (or recorded live) ritual teaching session\, some deep personal and community healing work within a ritual framework\, and suggested personal practices (“homework”) to take action in the weeks between sessions. \nEach session will be recorded\, so if you miss one\, you can watch at your leisure. All the links to past sessions will be stored in our private Magical Activism course community. \nAll of our sessions will include live closed captioning and ASL interpretation \nYour Commitment\nBy registering for this series\, you are committing to one 90-minute live session every 3 weeks for the next 4 months. If you can’t join us live\, you can watch the recordings at your convenience. \nWe are asking that you commit additionally to at least an hour of your time for each session to practical\, real-world work on an issue. \nThis might mean making calls for a candidate\, showing up for a demonstration or organizing one\, writing your representatives\, donating money to an organization or a campaign\, writing your own posts on the internet and/or amplifying others\, a project or creative work of your own. \nOf course\, I would never ask you to do anything that goes against your personal values or violates your sense of integrity. \nFirst Live Session\nWednesday July 20th | 5:30pm Pacific Time \nSeries Schedule\nThis is our tentative schedule—of course\, subject matter may shift in response to current events\, and we have been known to add bonus/emergency sessions at times when needed. More details on each session will be released before the course begins. \nSession 1 | Wednesday\, July 20th \nSession 2 | Wednesday\, August 10th \nSession 3 | Wednesday\, August 31st \nSession 4 | Wednesday\, September 21st \nSession 5 | Wednesday\, October 12th \nSession 6 | Wednesday\, November 2nd \nSession 7 | Wednesday November 9th or 16th (TBD) \n  \nThis Course is Open to Anyone Who Wants to Learn These Skills and Tools.\nMy own political perspective is progressive to radical. I’ve had a lifelong commitment to social justice in all its forms\, to non-violence\, feminism\, environmental balance and justice\, and undoing all the structures of oppression. \nWe offer this course by donation because we want all who are called to this work to be able to access it. Donate what feels comfortable for you\, and share this course with all who may be called to this work! \nI strongly believe that what we need now is a powerful\, welcoming movement for justice in all its forms\, one that is truly inclusive of all people\, and that generates energy\, enthusiasm and joy even in the midst of struggle.

SUMMARY:The Beginning and the End of America
DESCRIPTION:In this moment of upheaval\, it is evident that our past – one of colonialism\, enslavement and oppressive patriarchy – is alive in the present. The nonduality of our circumstances is also clear. With an organic understanding of collapse\, not an industrial one\, we start to see the old is providing fertilizer for the new. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Ward will explore how we have confused change for transformation. \nTransformation is at the base; change happens at the surface. Dr. Ward will share practices that cultivate individual transformation and help us create\, as Margaret Wheatley describes it\, islands of sanity. Please join us. \nThis event is Donation Based. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Poor People's Assembly: Moral March on Washington
DESCRIPTION:The Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly & Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18\, 2022 will be a generationally-transformative declaration of the power of poor and low-wealth people and our moral allies to say that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t…we won’t… \nWhy We March: \nWe Assemble and March on June 18\, 2022 because any nation that ignores nearly half of its citizens is in a moral\, economic and political crisis. There were 140 million people who were poor or one emergency away from economic ruin before the pandemic. Since March 2020\, while hundreds of thousands of people have died\, millions are on the edge of hunger and eviction\, and still without health care or living wages\, billionaire wealth has grown by over $2 trillion. \nSign Up to Learn More

SUMMARY:Lotus Institute: Heart Sutra Workshop
DESCRIPTION:From the Lotus Institute \nThe Insight That Brings Us To The Other Shore is a gift from our beloved teacher\, Thich Nhat Hanh\, and those who came before him. Thich Nhat Hanh has called the Heart Sutra “the highest vision of the Buddha.” Chanting The Insight That Brings Us To The Other Shore\, Nhat Hanh’s new translation\, can awaken the teacher in us\, the one who shows us the way to our own awakened nature. \nDharma teacher and musician Brian Kimmel (Bk) with Dharma teacher\, Peggy Rowe Ward\, will lead us on a journey of learning with and chanting from The Heart Sutra. In this workshop\, we will: \n\nChant the Insight That Brings Us To The Other Shore\nShare tips on learning the chant and practicing it for ourselves and with our sanghas\nPractice with our aspirations as a means to help bring this teaching into our daily life and where it is needed in the world.\n\nWhen Thich Nhat Hanh completed this translation at 3am in the morning\, a moon ray penetrated his room. Let’s come together to experience the clear light of the moon\, and the deep abiding wisdom of this Sutra and our teacher. \nPlease know: you are welcome. Even if you don’t think you have a voice\, even if you think you can’t chant\, sing\, or carry a tune – your heart can. We hope you will join us.

SUMMARY:Restoring Nature: What People of Faith Can Do to Heal the Earth
DESCRIPTION:Douglas Tallamy’s books have awakened thousands to the problem of wildlife decline and the solution that resides in habitat restoration. This is a solution of which you and your faith community can be a part. The solution can be as close as your backyard or the property surrounding your place of worship. In this webinar\, Tallamy will outline the crisis faced and what we can do in response. The green teams and green thumbs of faith communities will learn not only about cultivating native plants in the landscapes around them\, but also what can be done to create a transformative movement full of actions ordinary people everywhere can take. \nTo care for God’s creation\, we can start by simply stepping outside the doors of where we gather for worship to make the most of our sacred places. In this webinar\, Tallamy will raise our awareness and equip us to make a difference in our world. \nThis webinar is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev. Carol Devine who serves as the Minister of Green Chalice for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Interim Director of Blessed Tomorrow. \nREGISTER FOR EVENT HERE \nEvent Co-Sponsors: Blessed Tomorrow\, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon\, Interfaith Power & Light\, Multnomah Athletic Club\, Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church\, Planet Church of First United Methodist Church of Portland\, and West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District. \nSpecial thanks to the Rev.
