Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream


I trained as a facilitator for this workshop a few months ago, and finally had the wonderful experience of leading it with four friends on May 16. We had 17 people attend and most people stayed for the whole session and seemed to really appreciate it. Here is a video about a typical Symposium:

The main idea is to awaken people to the necessity of living in balance with nature, and with social justice for everyone. .. and also to empower them to be engaged with being part of the solution.
There's an amazing story of how the organization got started, by indigenous people in the rainforests of Ecuador in 1995. The first group they started is called the Pachamama Alliance.
