I’ve been listening to Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer https://bit.ly/2XpVbaA and thinking about ceremony. The book is about change, or maybe loss. It is about plants, or maybe children.

We know the differences that determine potential energy in batteries, rolling balls, waterfalls, and bouncing springs.

What if we had the same kind of intelligence about the potential energy in human systems? What if we could harvest the energy in human systems to generate the cultural, physical, and emotional work of individual belonging and collective wellbeing? Three simple practices allow you to see the energy hidden in differences among people, understand the generative potential of that energy, and take intentional action to set conditions for people to become all they can and choose to be. This workshop demonstrates how the theory and the practice of HSD prepare you to transform yourself and the communities you call home.
