As the news gets crazier and the changes around us speed up, we may realize that we are facing something we have never had to deal with before. With this realization we are likely to feel anger, fear, sadness/depression, confusion, and all with a sense of urgency.

We can deal with these feelings and face the changing circumstances in our lives more effectively if we have time to prepare and readjust. So in this workshop we will explore our beliefs and assumptions about the society we live in, and based on the result we will create a list of actions we can take to prepare emotionally for the economic, societal, environmental, and lifestyle changes we expect. Emotional preparation will help us take those actions instead of staying stuck doing nothing. Moreover, we will learn that nothing needs to be done alone. We will learn not only about the power of community, but also about how to build it.

More about the workshop:
Date: January 26 (Saturday) from 3pm to 6pm.
Address: 44 Beston Street, Amherst, MA – at the very end of the dead-end street, very close to the center of Amherst, off McClellan St.

What we will focus on:

• How consciously making yourself different helps avoid competition, and strengthens community
• How not being attached to happiness and comfort actually makes it all easier to achieve them
• How building, living in and maintaining a support community makes it all possible
• How understanding all this can create a sense of personal security

Please bring: Paper and pen/pencil, so we don’t have to remember it all.
