Youth and Community Convergence

Date/Time
Date(s) - Sep 29 - Sep 30

Location
OUR Ecovillage

Come join us for the 6th Annual EcoVillage Youth Convergence to celebrate the harvest season on September 29th & 30th. Step into the unfolding story of OUR EcoVillage in its mission to implement an all encompassing approach to living sustainably. Take the time to harvest from your inner landscape, your interior world, to explore practices that strengthen the spirit. And immerse yourself in the outer harvesting of summer crops, new ideas, new visions, and new ways of giving and being in service.

The weekend will feature large group activities to create sacred space, to explore what it means to build community, to participate in a community healing circle and to share our talents as well as a variety of workshops focusing on practical knowledge and skills, self-knowledge and healing, community building and the Arts.

Let the inner harvest and the outer harvest prepare us to step confidently forward in our ever changing world.
