Facing the Fire:

A Pre-Into the Fire Event

location to be announced

Cultivating Connections hosts this opportunity to create masks representing our "false faces", the guises, attitudes, habits and personas of which we wish to be free.   

We will be invited to create representations of our responses to such questions as: 

What keeps you from being free and whole?
What keeps our communities disconnected and isolated from each other?
 What do we individually and collectively need to cast into the fire?

Prior to our art-making we will explore the power that lies within such expression and establish the sacred space and community building necessary for this undertaking.

Participants are then invited to join us for the Into the Fire event Saturday,. April 23rd at Camp Cedar Ridge Event where they can release their false face into our communal bonfire.

Supply Fee $5 · additional donations appreciated

 Social Change Book Club 4.0 

Practically Radical:

Not So-Crazy Ways to Transform Your Company, Shake Up Your Industry,

and Challenge Yourself

by William C. Taylor 

Heine Bros. Coffee Chenoweth

Social Change Book Club 4.0

An independent gathering furthering learning on social change.

Practically Radical is a manifesto for change and a manual for making it happen - in an era when change is the name of the game.

People everywhere are engaging in a dramatic "rethink" of how they lead, work, and get results. In an age of fierce competition and stubborn recession, the status quo just doesn't cut it. But how do you break new ground when there is so much pressure to do things the same way as everyone else? Using his years of experience and thought leadership in the business world, the cofounder and founding editor of Fast Company offers radical ideas and practical advice to help us fix what's wrong with our organizations, launch new initiatives with the best chance to succeed, and rethink the logic of leadership itself.

A short monograph that discusses four of the central ideas of this book is available on ChangeThis (click here).

The Social Change Book Club is open to everyone who is interested in understanding, participating, leading, or supporting social change. Each month we select a book and get together to discuss. Selections rotate among three themes: social changes, how we work with others to make change happen, and the inner qualities needed to bring change into the world.

People just show up if they are interested--no RSVP, commitment, etc. It is great when people have read the book, but that is not a requirement to come and discuss.

Into The Fire:  A Gathering For Letting Go

5:30 pm Festival Activities (art, music, outdoor activities)

7:30 pm Ceremony & Celebration

at Cedar Ridge Camp

What keeps you from being free and whole?

What keeps our communities disconnected and isolated from each other?

What do we individually and collectively need to cast into the fire?

What might it look like to be free, whole and connected?

Into the Fire is a community-wide celebration dedicated to the art of "letting go." Through music, art and a variety of other  expressions you and your community are invited to create  symbols of that which keeps you/us bound and isolated fromthe fullness of life and community.  As the sun sets our  communal fire will offer the opportunity to embody the practice of letting go by releasing our creations into the fire.

Spiritual Movie Night 

Fierce Light:

When Spirit Meets Action

at
Unity of Louisville
757 South Brook Street

In these times of crisis, there is an electric charge in the air, a burgeoning renewal amongst both the people who have focused their lives on spirit,... This documentary reveals what's possible when human beings are at their absolute best.  It captures the Cultural Creative's exciting movement of Spiritual Activism that is exploding around the planet, and the powerful personalities that are igniting it. Fueled by the belief that "another world is possible," the film portrays stories of what Martin Luther King called "Love in Action," and Gandhi called "Soul Force". It is the way of the Sacred Warrior, uncompromisingly nonviolent, with a power that radiates from the heart and outwards.

Coming May 13 and 14

Sr. Paula Gonzalez "The Solar Nun"
