Nurturing hope in a time of ecological crisis

A talk with Jon Young and Paul Raphael

7-9pm Tue 16th March. Lord Palmerston Pub, London NW5.

£12 open to all.

Please stay afterwards to socialize – bring your musical instruments!

Jon Young and Paul Raphael will speak of their experience of supporting communities all over the world to develop nature connection as their foundation to face these uncertain times.

Jon Young’s life work is about how to help people become more alive in their senses, more uniquely who they are and more profoundly connected to their own land. Jon founded the Wilderness Awareness School and more recently Regenerative Design and Nature Awareness.

Paul Raphael is from the Odawa of the Raven Dodem of North America. He is a singer, storyteller and peacemaker. He has mentored many communities and has focused particularly on how to help people step meaningfully into their elderhood, as well as helping communities to face and tend their grief.

Paul and Jon have worked together for 10 years honing the art of how to mentor people and communities into earth connected, people connected, empowered living.

Jon Young will also be running a 6 day course this July called the Art of Mentoring. Both these events and the July course are brought to you by UK based volunteers.

Venue: Lord Palmerston, 33 Dartmouth Park Hill, Tufnell Park, London NW5 1HU.
Nearest tube: Tuffnel Park on the northern line (5 minutes walk)

A few of us from the Transition Ashtead Initiating Group will be there for informal chat about our transition initiative.  There is no agenda, no minutes, just a chance for people to drop in, find out what Transition Ashtead is all about, and decide if they want to get involved. If you want to find out a little more about transition, peak oil, etc, we will do our best to answer questions, and look forward to hearing any suggestions you may have to make us more effective.

Your great ideas and input on what we can do to help make Transition Ashtead a success was very helpful and much welcomed. Plus the lively discussion and debate at the end was very informative, we hope you found so too.

I am sure that if our future events are anything like this one, then our movement will be a great success. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thanks from all on the Transition Ashtead Initiating Group

We’re holding a social event for everyone interested in Transition Ashtead and hope you’ll be able to drop in. It’s on Monday 20th July at The Brewery Inn (15 The Street) at 8pm. The Transition Ashtead group will be there for chat and discussion on Transition – come along and tell us your ideas for a sustainable Ashtead! Other meetings over the summer will focus on peak oil and future energy changes, and climate change.
