In the Shell of the Old

Hard-Pressed Community Print Shop 12 VT Rt. 15, West Danville, Vermont

EcoGather's Vermont based facilitators of community learning are collaborating with Hard-Pressed Community Print shop in West Danville, Vermont to offer a series of EcoGatherings in the Northeast Kingdom. We're eager to share space, snacks, and substantial-talk – the opposite of small-talk –with folks who are craving conversation about who to live well in a time of endings. These casual, cozy events are an easy way to connect in community, practice co-learning, and get connected to EcoGather's globe-spanning cosmolocal network composed of beings and communities ready to courageously confront the collapse of both the natural systems that we depend upon and human systems that are hostile to life. We help each other make and sustain paradigm shifts.

Open Hours (Nissa)

Drop in and talk with Nissa or Erik about anything on your mind. If you are new to EcoGather this is a great place to come get up to speed with everything that has been going on in the community. We'll be here for the whole hour, so drop in whenever you can.

Thrutopia

We can benefit from imagining, ideating, and criticizing utopias and dystopias, but what about right now? Utopias are unachievable and dystopias are undesirable, so what worlds should we inhabit and build, especially now and in the near future? In the pursuit of utopia and in the rejection of dystopia, we encounter Thrutopia.





Join us this week as we explore what thrutopia could look like and mean in this stage of modernity and its ongoing collapse.

How to Fall in Love with the Future

In this final EcoGathering, we have partnered with Upstream for a conversation with Rob Hopkins discussing his forthcoming book, How to Fall in Love with the Future. This collaborative EcoGathering serendipitously falls at the end of our cycle on 'Topias, during which we explored the many ways our stories of the future shape our actions and orientations now. Rob invites us to consider how vividly and sensually imagining the future we want, based on real examples of eutopias strengthens our efforts to bring about the rapid, radical change we need to create vivacious, beautiful communities - and it's not that hard to build with who and what we have around us. Since this is our final gathering as EcoGather, we will also use Rob's invitations and tools to dream about what comes next for us as otherWise.
