> January 30-Feb 1st Jeff Hilliard and Kristen Chamberlin will be  
> offering a Shalom Retreat for Social Change Activists in Florence Ma.
>
> This retreat will offer the best of Shalom Mountain offers with  
> it's 30 years of transformational personal growth work, with that  
> of Joanna Macy's engaged Buddhist practices.  In Joanna's 'Work  
> that Reconnects' she offers maps for understanding, and navigating  
> these times, while understanding, discovering or more deeply  
> committing to our own, unique contribution.  We will also include a  
> taste of the Clare Graves' developmental model of consciousness  
> called Spiral Dynamics which can help us to more effectively work  
> with the radically different approaches groups have towards  
> sustainability and social change.
>
> This project sits between two larger projects in which we are  
> bringing together the personal growth communities  with the social  
> change communities.  It is our belief that more than any other  
> time, we need to learn and collaborate with one another to most  
> effectively create the change for which we each long, and for fully  
> living into wholeness.

> Project One:  The Great Turning Film
>
> Many of you have heard about The Great Turning, the film that Chris  
> Landry and I are working on in collaboration with Joanna Macy.   
> This will be a story of hope using Joanna's Buddhist and Systems  
> frames on looking at these times we're in, and offering maps for  
> finding our own individual contribution towards a more  
> ecologically, socially and financially sustainable communities.
>
> The Shalom Retreat for Social Change Activists will be a Pilot  
> Retreat for the one that  will be rolled out in tandem with the  
> film for folks who are inspired to take the film's message into  
> their own lives.
>

> Project Two:  The Green Gathering:  Connecting Earth and Soul, Aug  
> 6-9, 2009
>
> This will be a 4 day gathering at Shalom Mountain in the Catskills  
> of NYS, in which we will be bringing together leaders in various  
> Social Change movements for a conversations and workshops, with  
> those that are involved with intrapersonal growth and healing  
> aspects of change.  We suspect that collaboration and inspiration  
> will be a natural outcome of this in-depth networking opportunity.   
> There are already many interesting people and projects gathering  
> around the idea.
>
> The January Shalom Retreat for Social Change Activists is set to  
> begin this conversation and to spread the word further to the  
> networks of each attendee.
>
> Thanks for reading along.  If any of this interests you, please  
> feel free to take up a role as ambassador to these projects and  
> spread the word where you feel called.   Also, feel free to call  
> with any questions you may have.
