Hong Kong's Happening

May 31, 2009 | By The Pachamama Alliance

I’ve just arrived here in Hong Kong at the beginning of a 30 day visit to this busy, bustling city and other parts of South East Asia.

The team here have worked really hard to create symposiums at a bunch of places, two universities in mainaland China, the Asia Consciousness Frstival here and Manila and Kuala Lumpur too. We’re also planning trainings in each of these countries so we hope by the time the month is out to have new teams of facilitators in the Philippines, Malaysia and mainland China – how cool is that.

And here’s what I was writing about the opportunity we have for the region during this period:

The Big Opportunity

During this month we can build significant new capacity in the Awakening the Dreamer community here in SE Asia, which means

  • train more facilitators to present the symposium and to join the other activities
  • take some of these people through the Deepening Training to develop an even greater connection to the work
  • help more of the trained facilitators to find their own active role within the activities and possibilities of the region
  • to develop materials and tactics to specifically support activities in the region [including translations and local promotional strategies]
  • to develop strategies for the continuing development of the Initiative in the different countries and in the region

The target to which we are all committed is to further develop self-generated, self-expanding activity here that is also aligned with the rest of the ATD Initiative around the world.

 

Better get going, there’s work to do
