SEPTEMBER 2019

Earth Spirit – Earth Justice | 3-day Workshop + Spiral Dance

September 13-15, 2019

Beauraing, Belgium

STARHAWK offers an international training at an inspiring natural and historical site in Beauraing at the crossroads of human permaculture, activism ecological and deep ecology .

In these difficult times, we are witnessing the spiral of the collapse of nature and culture, and we may be concerned that our intentions and actions will not be enough to put an end to this massive destruction. Justice seems to be one of the foundations of a prosperous and sustainable world, but how to put it in place at all levels?

To implement the huge changes needed in our economy, our energy and technology systems, we need tools and allies. Ecological principles and values ​​can help us create diverse and resilient citizen movements. The tools of permacultural analysis and design can help us put in place more effective strategies.

The different community rituals and spiritual practices allow us to turn our helplessness, sorrow and anger into creativity, to mourn what we risk losing or have already lost, and to regain our commitment and new energies.
