Our team was quick to respond to a recent invitation to speak about transformation at Occupy Wall Street (OWS), knowing how much there is to learn from the people who make up this extraordinary phenomenon and eager also to see how best to bring the impact of the Pachamama messages to support their efforts.
On Monday, January 9th, volunteer facilitator Anita Sanchez from Boulder, Colorado and staff member Jon Symes spent two hours leading a conversation at the 60 Wall Street site in downtown Manhattan.
Local organizer and host Shanti Love said afterwards, “Tons of gratitude continues to pour for the space you facilitated at Occupy! People have expressed how energized they felt after sharing these two hours together. They said they haven't felt that much love, acknowledgement, clarity and support since the first weeks.” It seems that new Conscious Action Circles may arise as a result of this session.
“There’s a really valuable lesson here for our community worldwide”, said Jon Symes later, “for us to go out and meet the Occupiers wherever they are and bring the conversation of the Symposium to them – with the full video impact if possible, and as a conversation where this isn’t possible”.
Keep an eye out for Jon’s forthcoming blog post inspired by his visit to Wall Street, including notes on what worked at Wall Street and other ideas for spreading the conversation of transformation.
