Story & Experience
Wow! What an awesome event!! Simona and I hosted the Earth Exchange as the closing ceremony for an evocative and successful 2 day event!!! Wooo Hoooo!!! I have attached two photos—one has the bird, and the other has the group, I didn’t get permission yet from the other photographer to use her photo which has both in one.
Name of Event: Grass Roots Summit 2013
No. attended: 25-30
Act of Beauty: Radical Joy Bird form the gifts of the land
Notes about the experience: Hearts were lifted, tears were shed, people FELT love. Grief was expressed and the under-over-in-between tone was solidarity, inter-connectedness and healing.
I forgot to mention the photographer name for our GrassRoots group photo—Dave Walczak. Just in case you acknowledge that somewhere (since he is a photographer) AND he is working on a documentary: http://www.groundswellrising.com/
