Access
This 2 hour livestream event features author, teacher & speaker Starhawk, hosting an all-star panel to explore social permaculture as a path to finding our voice in a world that often has little room for truth and authenticity. When we come together to co-create, to empower one another or to challenge the structures of unjust power, we face unique challenges. All groups struggle with issues of power, conflicts, and the need to make decisions. Collaborative groups may be healing, nurturing, and inspirational—or they may founder on the rocks of conflict and poor communication.
