SUMMARY:Population
DESCRIPTION:Register!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Human population is\, somewhat confusingly\, a controversial issue to discuss. Many people understand that having 8 billion humans on the planet creates lots of ecological and social problems\, and maybe the population shouldn’t keep growing endlessly if we want the biosphere to remain intact. Many others seem to believe that we must keep growing the human population for the sake of civilization and the economy\, and questioning human population challenges the sanctity of human life\, or borders on misanthropy or eco-fascism. Certainly\, dominant myths about the supremacy of human life over all others\, and the separation of humans from nature\, informs sensitivity around the topic\, but conversations around population can also easily turn into finger-pointing at poorer\, more populous nations that have contributed far\, far less historical ecological harm. How does human population contribute to the polycrisis? What other factors\, like the demands of global economic system or individual human consumption\, play into the polycrisis? \nRecommended resources for this gathering: \nOVERSHOOT Podcast: Progressive Pathways for a Smaller Population with Hannah Evans and Pam Wasserman \nTwilight Greenaway: Can We Talk About the Population? \nDavid Fleming: Population\, Lean Logic

SUMMARY:Good Grief
DESCRIPTION:Register!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Good Grief is a group exploration of our collective grief through the frameworks of Francis Weller’s Five Gates of Grief (The Wild Edge of Sorrow). Inspired by our EcoGathering on Grieving during the autumnal Composting series in 2024 and an increasing urgency to process the compounding loss we experience as the continuation of modernity relies on genocide\, ecocide\, omnicide and fascism’s impingement on our basic rights and liberties\, we will hold space to tend to the complex and often unaddressed grief that accompanies these losses and expand our emotional capacity for collective grieving as a skill for navigating uncertain futures. \nIn this fifth session we will focus on The Fifth Gate of Grief and the last entryway into the Weller’s Communal Hall of Sorrows\, Ancestral Grief. Walking through this gate asks us to address the generations of untended grief and compounded losses of our ancestors\, passed on to us to heal and hold. In this Sharing Session all participants are welcome to release the grief that arises at this gate to be witnessed and held in the collective well of sorrow. It’s highly recommended that you attend the companion Integration Session offered the following week\, for the sake of group continuity and comfortability\, as well as the opportunity to fully sit with the experience of witnessing and processing the grief at this gate. \n  \nRecommended Resources \nThe Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller\, Chapter 3For the fifth and final session of this series\, it’s highly recommended that you read the section of this chapter subtitled “The Fifth Gate: Ancestral Grief” (pages 63-69) \nThe Five Gates of GriefA brief summary of each of the five gates of grief \n
