These are dangerous times of global ecological overshoot, abuse of power and system collapse. Join us this month on a contemplative journey through some relevant themes. Through slides, readings, poems, and questions, we will open doorways of power awareness. First the doorway of dark predicament, then the doorways of complicated hope, awe, re-orienting, and guidance for moving forward.  How can our power-conscious understandings  help us to orient and act powerfully toward the common good? Led by Cedar Barstow using her personal selection of inspiring and thought-provoking readings and resources. There will be time for self-reflection and then sharing at the end of the hour.
