 A Wisdom Council Discussion Group of Transition Sebastopol 

Calling All Elders, Earth Elders, Wannabe Elders, Soon-to-become Elders, or Interested Baby Boomers on up! 


THIS MONTH’S THEME: A DILEMMA STORY FOR OUR TIME with discussion following about our relationship to and ideas about  the dilemma.

The Elder Salon is a nonhierarchical circle of peers. We’ll introduce the discussion with some thoughts from an elder voice or thought-provoking instigator to kick off our own discovery of what it is WE think and believe about the topic; what WE want and need now and in our future; what WE think should be the course of action and attitudes as we progress into and through our older years

WHY: There are a lot of new ideas about aging, staying youthful in body and spirit, and our role in society and local life. What have our generational contributions been and what is left undone? What are our mistakes and triumphs?

Our everyday acts of giving and receiving are the foundations of our communities, and our economy.

Our moment-to-moment choices can either support our sense of connection to each other and our beautiful Planet Earth, or pollute our social and natural environments, and create alienated lifestyles that don't work for anyone.

How we think, speak and act is how we create a more abundant and mutually beneficial world for each other and ourselves...it is the daily 'commerce' of our hearts.

Come for a facilitated dialogue about our relationships, communication styles, and avant-garde, heart-centered forms of mutual exchange. We are putting love to work, sleeves rolled up and feet on the ground!

Facilitators:
Alpha Lo is a social architect who designs non hierarchical and gift economy systems. He co authored/edited the Open Collaboration Encyclopedia and helped found the Gift Circle Network that has virally replicated around the world. He writes the Open Collaboration blog.

Judith Katz is the co-founder of the Connection Action Project www.Facebook.com/ConnectionAction which offers mediations and trainings, produces events, and disseminates publications relating to the intersection of spirituality, social action and empathic communication (NVC).

Julia Bystrova has been an active member of Transition Sebastopol, is a local holistic practitioner, minister and philosopher/activist.
