Story & Experience
Wonderful gathering today and spent another hour answering questions for eager ecopsychology students interested in taking into their own communities! Excellent talk with a person involved in activism in her hometown of Detroit, MI that I can tell you more about later.
36 attended! One touching moment as we stood around the bird in a circle and offered out words and whatever other acts of beauty people wanted to (including a prayer to ancestors who were coal miners and a large group “yip” )—then one person brought seeds and fed it, another person gave it water in its beak, as they had this impulse to make sure the bird is nourished. Really sweet and lovely.
One person asked not to be in pictures and I don’t know who she is (she put on her sign in sheet) so I have sent her the ones with people in it, for her approval. For now, here is a pic of our Bird. John Davis made the “Peace Eye.” Much of the bird is made from actual pieces of coal, and trash found in the area.
