Do you carry within you a longing for an entirely different world?
One which is aligned with our human needs, in which we collaborate with each other and the natural world, in which separation, scarcity, and powerlessness are a thing of the past?
If so, Miki Kashtan's book Spinning Threads of Radical Aliveness could give you an extraordinary gift by serving as a blueprint for how you can become a one-person model of what life could be like.

We will meet once a week to reflect on the reading and how it impacts us in our lives. Through this process, we hope to assist one another in regaining our faith in humanity.

Location at a private residence near Sundance in Southeast Eugene.
No one turned away for lack of funds. If possible, please purchase the book and read the introduction before the first meeting.
Miki Kashtan is a certified trainer through the Center for Nonviolent Communication who specializes in perfecting group dynamics so that members can be more unified and effective, and ultimately achieve their goals rather than repeating a paradigm of control and oppression similar to the one they are trying to change.
