COCE’s Post-Conference (28-29 June) is a Deep Ecology workshop facilitated by John Seed, rainforest activist and Australian father of the Deep Ecology movement (lead author, with Joanna Macy, Pat Fleming, and Arne Naess of Thinking Like a Mountain). Environmental communication scholar Tema Milstein will co-facilitate. The immersive experience will guide participants through Deep Ecology’s processes (The Mourning, The Remembering, The Grounding), comprised of the Council of All Beings (created by Seed and Macy) and other experiential activities designed to touch deeper than intellect and dispel the illusion of separation between humans and nature. The experience offers COCE goers opportunity to stretch themselves and generate community.
Spaces are limited! The post-conference retreat offers a simplified sliding scale for fees, with the lowest rate reserved for students and individuals with limited means, such as those who are currently unemployed.
Vegetarian lunch provided Saturday and Sunday (with gluten free, vegan options). The Workshop runs from Saturday, June 28, to Sunday, June 29, at 4 pm (9 am start times Saturday and Sunday). There will be busses picking all participants up from the Hedberg building, where the conference is based, at 8.30am Saturday and Sunday, and dropping us back there at 9.30pm Saturday, and 4.30pm Sunday.
Dinner Saturday night will be at the Ferntree Tavern and we will provide lunches both days.
