12	13	14 Becoming Change In A Changing World Start: May 14 2013 7:00 pm YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN IN CO-CREATING COMMUNITY … The world is changing. Any move that responds to the changing conditions of a world in transition calls for a similar internal shift. People who are committed to Transition are of necessity making this kind of shift. Sustainability depends upon it. Being in the vanguard means learning new ways of being together. We need to try things out to develop the internal skills that accompany these colossal changes. COMMUNITY RESILIENCE is an organic form of growth. It requires the hearts and minds of the most committed to create a new response to the challenges we face. This will be a facilitated learning community with the intention of discovering the forms of consciousness that best serve our times, allowing us to become more effective. • Meets twice a month, no fees charged • Learn together • Form bonds that make community resilience a living thing • Focus is more upon growth than on psychological issues Facilitated by Sandra “Sandy” Scotchler and David “Lucky” Goff for the Transition Sebastopol Community About the Facilitators: In 2003 Lucky Goff, Ph.D., M.F.T., had a brain aneurism. As a result of his stroke and the onset of a rare brain syndrome, he nearly died and ended up permanently disabled. This experience had a transformational effect on David, which cued him into how radically connected all things are. Contact: dg1140@sonic.net, (707) 291-0438, and Sandy Scotchler M.F.T. —Drawn to the healing arts from childhood, she has learned to walk the path of a wounded healer. Becoming an elder at this time calls her to join with others who care deeply about the earth and want to ollaborate in bringing the needed transformation.
