Change in our Winter plans
Mark & I are NOT going to Dathun and that is all I really want to say about that.
I am choosing to register for the EcoPsychology Certificate at Lewis & Clark College through the continuing education department. Hooray for me. My first class is called Introduction to EcoPsychology and I was delighted to find out that the book assignemnts include Ecotopia and several of the readings on EcoPsychology that I have enjoyed in getting prepared for Surrender. I have not been a student in an academic setting for well, about 15 years so this will be interesting.
Speaking of Surrender, our organizing team is almost complete we are still looking for a fundraiser and a volutneer organizer. The Surrender Newsletter will be out by Dec 22nd so keep an eye out!
Here are some of the medias I have been consuming and feel are worthy of sharing with you:
