["Adriana Magaña" <dreikycaprice@gmail.com>]

Hello All!

I am presenting a series of workshops featuring guest lecturer and
Permaculture instructor *Andrew Faust from The Center for Bioregional
Living. Andrew is an excellent and inspiring teacher with a very keen
ability to bridge
the gap between problems and solutions. I am really very excited to be
able to present
these series of workshops to you all here in NYC. Come learn about the
options that exist and choices we can make as residents of this rich
and diverse city and planet that we call home.
Come and LEARN!

For those of you that are getting this out West, Andrew will be doing
a workshop tour in December with stops in Seattle, Portland, Ashland, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

See you then!

Ecological Consciousness: Exploring Our Sense of the Sacred and
Learning to Live Well with the Earth.

We will explore the spiritual, ethical and moral aspects of a deep
appreciation for the Earth, and the spiritual relationship between
human beings as biological organisms and their ecological environment,
the Gaia organism. Our ecological crisis is interrelated with our
spiritual crisis and derrives from an absence of a sense of the sacred
and from a lack of awareness of the fact that our own well being is
intrinsically and inseparably interwoven with the well being of the
Earth.
Becoming responsible stewards of the Earth can begin to heal human
communities, spiritually and ecologically. We can create ways to live
with vitality and abundance that cooperate and enhance the health of
the Earth and her ecosystems with ecologically sound, locally adapted,
biologically and community powered infrastructures and educational
models that enhance the evolution of ecological consciousness.
6-9pm $30
