Post-Symposium Engagement Strategy

The world has changed in many ways since the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium first made its debut in 2005. In response to these urgent times, the Pachamama Alliance is taking accountability for a new strategy and structure that we are identifying as a post-symposium engagement and initiative strategy. We are in the design stage now and intend to roll the initial programmatic elements in the 2nd quarter of 2013. The design is utilizing input and expertise from within our volunteer leadership body in the US and internationally, as well as respected engagement experts.

The engagement and initiative involves a participant pathway that includes community-based programs, the introduction of circles, online engagement tools, leadership trainings and the opportunity to participate in game changing initiatives for systemic and structural progressive change.

While all of this new strategy is coming into existence, we want to fully support you all in continuing to spread the message of Symposium far and wide and building your Pacha Communities. There are new tools available right now that we invite you to explore and use, like having your own Community Page on the event map, a new online training for facilitators, Monthly Calls on various topics to support and empower your work, and a December 2st solstice ceremony we can all do together.
