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. http://www.powerupnetworks.org./occupy-the-present-change-the-future.html.
