Speakers and Panel Discussion:
Barbara Marx Hubbard - We are honored to have Barbara Marx Hubbard join us on SKYPE to open The Gathering with a blessing and message of LOVE, all the way from Budapest!
Fredric Lehrman - Education As Discovery - Standard education, as most of us experienced it. was an obstacle course that we were forced to push ourselves through. What if education could be simply a way of supporting our own innate curiosity and natural learning abilities? Where would that take us?
John Robbins - John will be joining us via SKYPE to share wisdom about the environmental, physical, mental and emotional impact of our food choices on both the individual and global scale.
MetaModerator
Rachel Bagby - Chants of Your Lifetime: Give Your Voice to Life - What happens when you engage a community in a sonorous dialogue about changing its narratives? How do community narratives change and how does a community that practices embodying narratives informed by reverence for living systems change? Rachel Bagby will guide this inquiry in a plenary session that engages the whole audience in the chants of our lifetime.
In this workshop, PJ will help us tune in the frequency of love using little known techniques including EFT, NLP & others, while clearing any blocks that might be present including unconscious blocks. This can even be used to address addictive behavior, which can be a block to full expression of love. We are all addicted to something. Some addictions are good, while others can block us from our health and fitness goals. Addictions can also keep us from attaining life goals and even stand in the way of our ability to truly love our self and others. PJ will teach quick and easy techniques, requiring very little time and effort to clear blocks, addictions and unhealthy behavior, both physically and mentally.

Everywhere we see humanity calling for a transformation of the old order with its reliance on division. The real uprising on planet Earth will come from a people's movement to heal the wounds of the past. We have a great capacity to heal individually and collectively..our teachers have transformed the cauldron of hatred, and shown the path of forgiveness and courageous reconciliation and so shall we.
Daniel Sunjata - Film, theater and tv actor Daniel Sunjata will join us as moderator this weekend. Daniel's interest in humanity's potential for expanded understanding powerfully leads him to this event.
James Twyman - The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking - We have been told that peace is something that happens "by" us, or through seeing a problem and trying to solve it on our own. What if there's a new way of looking at peace, a way that allows it to move "through" us, solving the problems of violence and war from a very different perspective. The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking is the art of creating peace from the inside out. It is also the act of "becoming" the peace we want to see in the world.
Mikki Willis - Tragedy and Alchemy - My mission and company rose from the ashes of the World Trade Center. Since then, I've learned to turn every challenge to gold.
Sylvia Clute - Justice As Love - During 28 years as a trial attorney I discovered that clients came to me with broken relationships and what I did made the wounds even deeper. There is another model of justice that restores relationships and leads to peace. I call this "unitive justice," to distinguish it from punitive justice. I will outline the moral, structural and historic differences between unitive and punitive justice and explain how unitive justice is readily at hand - no law degree required! It requires only that we choose to apply the simple principles of unitiive justice in our lives - the reward is peace.
Brooke Medicine Eagle - Walking In Beauty - White Buffalo Calf Woman reminds us to walk this sweet Earth remembering that we are ONE with each other and all things. Brooke will speak of this holy path as a sustainable, harmonious, loving, and truly workable lifeway, especially vital in this time of challenge, change, and renewal - a time we have the opportunity to create a golden age on this sweet Earth.
