Come to a workshop to breathe, reflect and envision together
where we want to be and how to get there
(or “how to be the change we want to see” as someone once said.)
Together, we will create a space where people can listen to one another and
share ideas for “another world which is possible” The Anti-Oppression,
Women’s Caucus and Nonviolence Working groups (and more) are sponsoring a
visioning workshop for OB with Linda Stout on Saturday the 14th of January
from 11:45am-3pm.
COME A FEW MINUTES EARLY BECAUSE THE WORKSHOP WILL BEGIN AT 12:00. ONCE THE
PROCESS IS UNDERWAY, THERE WON’T BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LATE COMERS.
The initial energy which brought OB into being generated a living community
at Dewey Square with many alternative, creative institutions, a solidarity
statement with OWS on the sources of inequality and violence in the
culture, actions, proposals, working groups and support for grassroots and
community organizations. Since the end of the encampment, actions,
proposals, working groups and community-building activities have continued
to be generated. With a lot of energy devoted to keeping all these
activities going, there hasn’t been much time or a format to pause, assess
where we want to go, and name the positive vision(s) of the world we want
to create. This workshop will give people a chance to envision together
what is possible in the long term and short-term, talk about how to get
there and notice what we are already doing which is building our
communities and our movements.
Linda will also stay from 3:15-4:45 for a “train the trainers’ session to
share ideas about strategy, movement-building, etc. For people coming to
this, try to download the visioning guide from.
