Dear Friends of Choosing Earth,
Our Summer Series starts this Wednesday with climate psychology and the following week with a workshop on deepening your contribution. We have added two more events to the series — Francis Weller on grief and initiation and Ladybird Morgan on lessons from the end of life. Discounted early registration is available through this weekend for both of these new events.
All four in the series are described below. We highly recommend these interesting, wise, and heartfelt beings.
For the Earth and all of life,
July 22nd 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (PST)
At the Threshold: Grief, Initiation, and Transformation
July 29th 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM (PST)
Lessons from the Front Lines – Life, Loss, and Healing
Duane and Coleen are delighted to have a conversation with Ladybird Morgan. In addition to more than 20+ years working in hospice and palliative medicine, Ladybird has a wealth of experience dealing with trauma, mental health, and the painful repercussions of sexual violence.
We’ll explore a variety of themes including: front line workers shouldering weight within systems breakdown; trauma; end of life/death and dying; what it means to be human; lessons from work in prisons; and psychedelics for healing and transformation.

Contributing Effectively in Times of Crisis
We are all painfully aware of the many dangers facing our world, and this awareness naturally calls forth a desire to contribute. Effective contributions need to be multidimensional, encouraging not only outer social change but also fostering both individual and collective psychological healing and maturation. The key questions for each of us then become, “What can I do?” In this workshop, participants will use multiple methods—including guiding principles, guided meditations, visualization, reflection, and dialogue—to explore these questions and to support people in discovery of their own unique, strategic contributions.
