Wild Mind Conference 2014 (March 7-10)
Welcome to the inaugural Wild Mind gathering. Wild Mind is a generative gathering, a wild conference! It will be a coming together of people who are interested in exploring new ideas and experiences related to embodiment and environment. We will spend three days, talking, swimming, dancing, planting, workshopping, meditating and eating together.
The theme for the gathering is embodiment/environment/empowerment. In most areas of human inquiry including ecology, psychology, and philosophy, there is a growing consensus that the idea that humans are somehow separate from the environment and the rest of existence is misguided. The recognition that we are embedded both physically and spiritually within something bigger than ourselves is where this conversation starts. The invitation is to explore from here together.
All participants are encouraged to bring a little something of themselves related to the theme... No pressure! Just share what you know, what you love, what interests you! This might take the form of a small sharing, a class, a workshop, art-making, a talk, music, poetry, a presentation on an inspiring book you've read, hosting a discussion on an interesting topic etc. A chance to share your knowledge, skills and interest in a relaxed supportive space. You will be sharing with other adults who are actively involved in thinking about or working within the emerging eco-embodiment-paradigm. Our hope is simply to nurture and facilitate this deepening conversation.
Set amongst the nurturing and magical landscape that is Wild Dog we will spend 3 days together exploring these themes. Wild Dog is a eco-venue of 65 acres in South-West Gippsland.
Chilldren - AKA masters of embodied living - are very welcome! They do not need a ticket, however we invite any families coming with children bring a bring a fruit, citrus, nut or feature tree (oak, maple, elm etc) to plant on the property.
This event is fully catered! 9 delicious meals.
The cost for the three days is $150 including all workshops etc, 9 meals, 3 days and nights camping. Please note that this is a co-created conference in which all attendees, participants, facilitators and organisers will make the same financial contribution of $150 to secure their place. This is precisely because we will all be attendees, participants, facilitators and organisers!
PLEASE BRING: Camping gear for your stay, plates, bowls, mugs and cutlery
DO NOT BRING: Pets, Glass, Drugs, Alcohol, or Nuts of any description (we have children attending with severe allergies to nuts)
THIS IS A DRUG AND ALCOHOL FREE EVENT
