(Editor's Note: This is the design for a gathering of Climate Activists.)
Please join us for a gathering of people to work on the Climate Crisis. We want to bring together people for weekends of creativity and collaboration.
Here is a description of the events:
The Climate Activist Skills Teach-in: We hold a teach-in around climate issues. We'll have some video cameras and we'll make some video to support the movement. A recent letter from Bill McKibben and 1Sky encouraged us to talk more about the Climate Crisis and Climate Science. So we will! We'll study the Council Method. Based on Native culture, Council helps people talk in a deliberate, heart-centered about emotional topics like planet death by oily stupidity. Also, we'll have a workshop on using media, running cameras, editing, etc. We'll film an episode of a cable access TV show called "The Climate Show." We'll also be making a short film called "Explaining the Climate Crisis in Our Own Words", to start digging into the science in people's everyday language. We need to start putting our voices into the media about the Climate Crisis, so come get some skills and say your part! And, we'll begin a collaborative art project called the "Global 350 2-minute Teach-ins" where we invite people to give a two-minute talk on a Climate-related subject before a big Beck-style blackboard. Hopefully we'll create twenty segments and then we'll offer it to the worldwide web to complete the other 330 episodes. People are encouraged to choose topics they want to teach! All that and we'll eat really good food, too.
The Climate Crisis Art & Music Summit: This weekend will focus on creating music and art about the climate crisis. We'll have a public event at the farm's backyard amphitheater (ok, sloping lawn) on Sunday Nov 7 at 1pm to present some of the work. Expect songs about CO2 and an insta-artist colony of earth advocates.
"What will the Climate Work Weekends look like?" you ask.
"Work Weekends" are gatherings to get stuff done. They are a party with a purpose, designed to be productive yet fun. They will produce useful action and art that serves to build the climate movemes.
To support the farm's financial sustainability, guests are invited to donate 40$, or equal value in food or work running the retreat. People are welcome on a sliding scale from generous to free, according to their ability. (No poor folks turned away, no generous donations refused!)
