BPF Boston: 2007 Interhelp Gathering - Envisioning the World We Want to Live In

[BPF Boston chapter announcements]

Hi everybody,
I'm sending out this invitation to the 2007 
Interhelp Gathering.  Although this is not 
specifically a Buddhist group, it is based on the 
teachings of Joanna Macy, who is a well known 
Buddhist.  I'm one of the members of the 
Interhelp Network Council, so I'd be glad to 
answer any of your questions about the gathering or the organization.

  Since our visions can guide and empower our 
actions, we can benefit by taking some time to 
create a positive vision of where we are 
headed.  The Interhelp Network ( 
www.interhelpnetwork.org) is offering a gathering 
at Woolman Hill ( www.woolmanhill.org) in 
Deerfield, MA, on November 9 - 11, 2007 where you 
will be able to create such a vision in an 
environment of support and community.  Here's 
what participants at previous gatherings said:

"If you ever feel isolated or alone, wondering if 
anyone else out there could feel as deeply about 
the core issues of the earth's survival as you 
do, wonder no longer. At the gathering you will 
be surrounded by kindred souls who share your 
deepest concerns."  S.G., Syracuse, NY

"Interhelp is passionately, energetically - and 
joyfully - committed to the task of creating a 
life-affirming and sustainable planetary society."  L.S., Philadelphia, PA

For more information, see below or go to 
http://www.interhelpnetwork.org. We encourage you 
to join us and bring a friend.  Please forward 
this email to others who may be interested.

Cordially,
The Interhelp Council

Interhelp is an international network of people 
who share a deep concern for world conditions that threaten human life
and the earth. We support each other in moving 
from feelings of hopelessness and isolation to empowerment and action.
Through community gatherings with shared 
experiences, group exercises, and opportunities 
for reflection, we integrate deep social
concerns, personal psychological growth, 
awareness of our spiritual core, and intimate 
connectedness to this living planetary system.
We help each other strengthen our personal 
support systems and renew our commitment to the 
Earth, peace, and social justice.
