This month, Unify Toronto Dialogues took it outside into nature. 

Our August session took advantage of the glories of the season by taking the dialogue out-of-doors, and expanding it to the more-than-human world. 

Together we connected and engaged with the wider Earth community to find energy, insight, and guidance for our work to bring about a life-sustaining society. 
Through experiential practices, we opened our hearts and senses to the wisdom present all around us in the more-than-human world. We also explored where to find the voices of nature in the midst of the city and dialogued about how nature inspires, sustains, and informs us as we endeavour to transform ourselves and society and restore ecological health.

Sunday, Dec. 1 2013 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Permaculture GTA Headquarters
160 Bartley Avenue, Toronto

In our hour-long workshop, we explored what would keep us involved, sane, and sustained as we participate in creating the new story of a just, sustainable and thriving human presence on the planet. An exercise from Process Work took us to a place of deep intuition and earth connection very quickly. Then we harvested the wisdom that we each received through the exercise. It was rich and nourishing and left us feeling more resourced for our change work.
