“Don’t think a small group of people cannot change the world. It is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead
Earth Crisis Support Groups and Potluck Parties have begun in Oregon and New York and we hope will spread around the world. Our common aim is to create small communities of radical love to share the truth about the worst existential threat currently to the human family and our common home, Mother Earth in her 4.5 billion years of life. Small groups commit to sharing of their feelings, telling the truth, eating together and cocreating creative responses to this historic time. Together we are able to face what alone is too painful as we 1. Agree that there is an earth crisis. 2. Are willing to share our feelings with other people.3. Are willing to talk about what is going on the world currently including the escalating threat of nuclear war and ecological catastrophe. 4. Are willing to eat with others at least once a week in people’s homes and explore visions, hopes and dreams for new ways of living that we are creating out of this crisis as we commit to the spiritual practice of radical love of one another. A team of experienced group leaders are available to support new groups. Cosponsored by the Living Earth Movement and Our Common Home Counseling Center contact Rev.
