Themes emerging: Wayfinding, trailblazing toward … 

  • Bold expression – action research as countervailing voice to rising far right narratives;
  • Acting within and on our systems of interest – how do we sense, make sense and act to intentionally re-localise our work while aware of global dynamics;
  • Deepening first person practice/inquiry – a practice of reflexivity within a systems orientation;
  • Being nature – discovering ourselves as part of our landscape (carnal and transcendent,  sacred and profane, phenomenological, unitive);
  • Attending to ecological time – the timeless present for exploring human and more-than-human experience of time;
  • Revisiting our indigenous traditions – with Celtic-Irish rootedness to start the Gathering.

Participation

  • The schedule will allocate blocks of time for participant-led sessions to include also time outside and for engaging many ways of knowing.
  • The Halloween / Samhain party on Friday night is a chance to dress up as your higher self and celebrate the turning of the year in this most liminal of liminal spaces!
