Earthly Delights

True Abundance in a Time of Scarcity


Come join a magical experiment—how do we create true abundance when all around us systems are crumbling?  The meltdowns we’ve been experiencing, from Wall Street to Greenland, are a result of faulty thinking, of basing our institutions on false ideas and flawed stories.  What are the ideas, the new stories, that can become a basis for real abundance, justice, and ecological balance? 

Over these eight weeks, we’ll explore eight principles derived from the earth-based spirituality of the Goddess and the practical approach of permaculture to ecological design.

Abundance Springs from Relationships; Take Root; Feed What You Want to Grow;  Build from the Ground Up; Waste is Food; Value Diversity; Sink In; and The Gift Multiplies.  We’ll explore what they mean in systems that range from gardens to political strategy, and through exercises, meditations, and practices, we’ll apply them to our lives, and see what happens. 

The course is light on reading, the major work will be self-reflection, journaling, forum discussions, and Starhawk will post trances and new lectures.   As we tell ourselves new stories, as we take delight in the true gifts of the earth, our lives and our work will flourish like a plant growing in healthy soil.
