co-creating transformational community & culture

 

Two options:

Be The Change Weekend: 30th August – 1st September, 2019
or
Be The Change Weekend + a Deeper Dive into Conscious Community: 30th August – 4th September, 2019

 

Be The Change is a gathering exploring how we can live our full aliveness, cultivate conscious communities, and co-create a world that works for all life!

Be The Change is:

    • a celebration of the joy, creativity, and liberation of living authenticity
    • a laboratory for transformational learning and collective empowerment
    • a call to embody your gift of service in the world

Together, we explore a range of approaches & practices for whole-person & whole-system transformation, including:

Personal / Inner Transformation

  • Deepening Self-Connection & Self-Empowerment
  • Internal Family Systems • Parts Work
  • Clarifying Life Purpose & Vision
  • Meditation & Mindfulness
  • Authentic Movement & Play

Interpersonal / Community Transformation

  • Co-Creating Conscious Community
  • Nonviolent Communication
  • Conscious Touch & the Wheel of Consent
  • Process Work

Systemic / World Transformation

  • World Work
  • Whole-System Social Change
  • Collaborative Economics
  • Ecovillage Design

 

Format: One of the most transformational aspects of Be The Change is its design. The gathering includes a facilitated flow of sessions, complemented by the empowerment of Open Space Technology -– an approach to group process fostering self-organization and leadership by all.

Through this format, all who attend the gathering are encouraged and supported to identify their own needs and authentic action. There are abundant and flexible opportunities for learning, sharing, co-creation, relaxation, play, and whatever else your heart desires…and you request!

Daisy Delgado: “I feel most alive when i meet people in honesty and vulnerability. Something so beautiful happens when we can be real together. It opens a door to growth, connection and love, this is where I most want to be. Be The Change is a place where we can live into these qualities together. I’m taking steps towards sharing Nonviolent Communication with others and facilitating NVC based mediations.”
