Empowering Collaborative Groups
Empowering Collaborative Groups
October 1st to November 5th
Now more than ever, we need the power of collaboration to bring lasting change.
Join Starhawk to learn how to design supportive, nurturing relationships, with a vision for evolving group dynamics.
WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?
THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF YOU BELONG TO:
- A group or organization seeking to make change
- A nonprofit or NGO that seeks to work collaboratively
- A spiritual circle, ritual group, or faith community
- A community group, Transition Town, collective, or worker-run cooperative
- An intentional community or household–or hope to start one
- A collaborative arts, theater, or music group, or band
- A family or a community of friends who want to improve communications and ways of handling conflict
SOCIAL PERMACULTURE
Cultivating Community
Insights from both permaculture and magic will help us learn to be more effective and joyful as
we work together to regenerate our world.
We will need to do the hard, long-term work of making systemic change. Online or in-person, the work of change and transformation must be done with other people–those annoying beings who do not always agree with us, and want their own way!
Collaborative groups may be healing, nurturing, and inspirational—or they may founder on the rocks of conflict and poor communication. But when we understand their patterns and challenges, we can design structures that favor supportive, nurturing relationships.
In this six-week online course, Starhawk guides us through her book, The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for Collaborative Groups. It’s the book she wrote that draws on her decades of experience—often wonderful, sometimes painful—in activist groups, spiritual groups, permaculture groups, collective households and more.
Read Starhawk’s “The Empowerment Manual“ while you wait for the course to start.
