I'm so happy to share with you about an upcoming Conference that three of our conversation leaders are pulling together in North Carolina next month.
Kathy Spaar and Rai d'Honore, with Colleen Flanagan are putting on a "day of dialog" called Re-thinking America: Women crossing party lines to heal the nation on May 11th.
They write: "On May 11, 2013, we will host a day of dialogue that will focus specifically on new ways of looking at our economy, human ecology and the environment. Selected presentations in the morning will lead to in-depth conversations after lunch, where participants may select their area of interest to explore possibilities leading to effective action."
Isn't that a wonderful model of how, working together, we can take Caring Economy Conversations to the next level?
Many of you will also be interested to learn about Artemis House, the venue where the conference will occur, and the Laconneau tradition it is part of. Here's what Kathy and Rai share about the venue: "Artemis House has as its inspiration the society of medieval Occitania. At its foundation lay the concept of paratge. This was a code of ethics encompassing a variety of moral virtues including justice, wisdom, generosity, sincerity, compassion, tolerance, honor and having right thought and action and balance within oneself and the world. Artemis House seeks to apply those virtues of paratge into our present-day society and, as such, is a center for spiritual formation and personal empowerment. We believe that it is through the transformational process of achieving the correct balance of spirit, mind and body that we are led to the application of right thought and right action in our own lives, and by so doing, we bring about real positive change in the people and world around us."
If you are in the vicinity of North Carolina, please be in touch with Kathy or Rai to find out more about this exciting day of dialog and local action planning!
We all look forward to hearing all that emerges from this event!
Be well everyone,
Sara
