Cohousing-L Mailing List: [Virtual Event] April 20 :: 1-3PM Eastern :: Unleash the Power of our Differences Series: Solidarity Across Differences, What Lights You Up, & How They Go Together

[Neil Planchon (neil]

Hello everyone…. 

Our series continues with an exploration of your vision and purpose and how to 
live in solidarity across differences with others.

Join presenter, Elliott Butler-Cisneros, in another workshop in the Unleash the 
Power of Our Differences series. Explore the power of your vision and purpose 
in life and learn how to join in solidarity with others and their differences.

During this session:

- We’ll explore how to move through grief and shame, guilt and blame to find 
freer ways of living in solidarity across differences that are personally 
fulfilling.

- We’ll examine how our sense of solidarity across differences helps us define 
and cultivate community as a place where all aspects of all people are honored.

- We’ll look at, and work on, your vision for yourself and your life…why you 
“came here” and how this purpose is clarified and launched by your connection 
to others.
