About the event
This day-long workshop will immerse you in the transformative practice of Revillaging! Gain skills and grow the community practitioners who are as passionate as you. We will start with the psychology of consumerism and belonging, unpacking the nuances of our consumer culture in isolated lifestyles. Then we learn a new paradigm of communication and collaboration skills based on the teachings of non-violence and compassionate communication, this has been at the root of every successful eco-Village and social movement. Next we learn practices for local community building and design our own heartfelt solutions to global crises with the support of the group.
About the experience
I'm Travis, and I facilitate big change - from national sustainability initiatives to local organizing. My workshops get you to feel something right off the bat. We can't catalyze change the world if we don't believe in ourselves, so we start there with meditation, movement, and authentic relating exercises to awaken all of your senses. You will enjoy alternating lessons and group activities (~20 minutes each) throughout the day with five modules total. We will break for lunch (provide if in-person).
People have laughed, cried and gone deep in these workshops. The roots of our crises are held within each of us. When we touch the depths of our inner world, we unlock a new level of belonging, a new potential for cooperative action. We discuss practical actions you can take towards Revillaging and help you make a plan to do something you’re really passionate about. The community supports you after the workshop concludes, which is when the real work begins.

- Feeling empowered to make a difference with your everyday actions
