Description: We live in very challenging times—times of great peril and uncertainty. Yet, these are also times of great hope! A bishop, and elder, in the Choctaw Nation in Alaska tells us we are part of a “great spiritual renewal…that will change the culture of the world by the end of the century…to a strong social conscience of sustainability and justice.” Indeed! In this workshop, we will look at what this means. We will use the process and tools of “active hope” to uncover the ideas and practices and strength of spirit to help us participate in this very uplifting renewal. And we will see how we can learn from trees the patience and rootedness to see us through this challenging journey. In this participatory workshop, we will learn to find joy in the moment and hope and courage in facing the future. Prepare to be challenged, have fun, and emerge energized and hopeful.
