“Of all the dangers we face,
from climate chaos to nuclear war,
none is so great as the deadening of our response.”

- Live and co-create in an ecological sustainable way
- Experience collaborative leadership and self-organization on debates and daily schedule with an international community of peers
- Practice The Work That Reconnects from Joanna Macy. The Work That Reconnects is informed by Deep Ecology, systems thinking, Gaia theory, and spiritual traditions (especially Buddhist and indigenous teachings), as well as group wisdom from earlier workshops. Common to all of these is a non-linear view of reality. It illuminates the mutuality at play in self-organizing systems, and unleashes the power of reciprocity.
- Visit and get inspiration from Le Montois farm, one of the eco-community of Longo Maï, network of agricultural co-operatives with an anti-capitalist ideological focus. Montois farm exists for 40 years, witnessing concrete examples of self-sufficiency, community life, craft and agricultural production, joint management of energy, water and respect for the environment.

“She’s On Her Way”
by Arundhati Roy and Aly Halpert
The policemen have thrown away their guns
They kiss their sons and their daughters and their souls are at peace
No more black girls, black boys, trans women dying
No more reasons that could ever justify their loss
And mothers send their teens out at night
To breathe the sweet summer air
And exhale on the ground
The earth was made for them, the earth is made for them
She is on her way, on her way
And no one can be silent anymore
Every death is a death that my family mourns
We’ve traded in our numbness and all of our fear
To fight for the lives we now hold dear
And everyone has come to greet the reckoning
The place where our hearts got smaller and smaller
Now grows to hold the pain
The brokenness that leads to change
She is on her way, on her way
Another world’s not only possible
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing
She’s on her way, on her way
And when the world we’re building is ours
We’ll be tall inside
There will be no question as we pray and sing
That we have each other and what that means
We’ll finally get to be together
Stare with our hearts at what has been and find some place, of home
(And find some place of home)
She is on her way, on her way
They kiss their sons and their daughters and their souls are at peace
No more black girls, black boys, trans women dying
No more reasons that could ever justify their loss
And mothers send their teens out at night
To breathe the sweet summer air
And exhale on the ground
The earth was made for them, the earth is made for them
She is on her way, on her way
And no one can be silent anymore
Every death is a death that my family mourns
We’ve traded in our numbness and all of our fear
To fight for the lives we now hold dear
And everyone has come to greet the reckoning
The place where our hearts got smaller and smaller
Now grows to hold the pain
The brokenness that leads to change
She is on her way, on her way
Another world’s not only possible
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing
She’s on her way, on her way
And when the world we’re building is ours
We’ll be tall inside
There will be no question as we pray and sing
That we have each other and what that means
We’ll finally get to be together
Stare with our hearts at what has been and find some place, of home
(And find some place of home)
She is on her way, on her way
