Seeds of Hope ​​
Seeds of Hope is a monthly open gathering that inspires, equips, and empowers participants to live into the vision of an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence on our planet.
​
These gatherings are designed to:
​
-
Open our eyes, minds, and hearts to places where society’s paradigm of separation, domination and exploitation is creating pain, fear, anger, or suffering.
-
Develop awareness of our personal responses to disturbing information.
-
Move from reactivity to creativity, so that we can embody the change we wish to see in the world.
-
Support ourselves and others to live in active mindfulness, interconnectedness, hope, play, and joy.
​
Gatherings are held on Zoom 1:30-3:30pm on designated Sundays.
All gatherings are free and open to all.

Resources from Past Gatherings
Late 2021 / Early 2022, Seeds of Hope presented:
Answering Earth's Call
A multi-part series of programs
​
We live in extraordinarily distressing times. Every day we are reminded of ominous global warming, a perpetual pandemic, acerbic culture wars, the erosion of democracy, entrenched systemic racism, and rampant suffering here and abroad. It’s no wonder that most of the population feels anxious, depressed, and haunted by powerlessness and despair.
​
There is a path from this disempowered distress to an empowered, generative, active kind of hope.

Resources from Revolutionary Perspectives for Ominous Times (March 6, 2022) -
This session helped us see our world as undergoing a major evolutionary transition. The old structures of separation, exploitation, competition, and domination, are breaking down, putting us in a time of increasing unraveling and uncertainty. Indigenous wisdom teacher Arkan Lushwala told us that, though we want to cling to the shore of this tumultuous river, the safest place is in the middle of the river, where we can trust the current to carry us where Life wants to take us. This session was especially rich and deep. You can see it and hear Arkan’s inspiring talk here.
