SILKE ROSE WESTGrief and Ancestral Healing

Each of us is one small light, but together we shine bright. A collective Light walk to face the Grief of this time, call on the Ancestors, and create a light-filled path into the holidays.

About Silke

Silke Rose West, (Markowski , my legal name) is a native German speaker, who came to this country in her early twenties. She was raised in a multigenerational household on a farm in a small village of Southern Germany. Silke finished her educators training in Germany and co-founded the Country Day School / Taos Waldorf School in 19995 in Taos NM.

She supported families with blessing ways for pregnant moms and provided hospice support for families who had to face the death of young children and/ or parents.

She pioneered the first outdoor kindergarten “Taos Earth children” in Taos during the last four years and has dedicated her life path to help parents and children to reconnect to nature and to strengthen the internal family bond using nature connection, puppetry, storytelling, and music. Silke has built several labyrinths and is teaching children the way of the labyrinth. Coming home to oneself as a sacred path. She published a book with her partner Joseph Sarosy called “How to tell stories to children” which will be available through Houghton Mifflin in 2021 (currently still available on amazon.) Silke has led night walks for youth to face their fears and remember to walk with confidence.

GWEN GORDON
GWEN GORDONGratitude Jam & Grief Ritual

Our capacity for joy is only as deep as our capacity for grief. When we come together we can open to both more fully. Through play and reverent irreverence we will take the lid off of our joy and celebrate the gifts of a human life. Then, as psychologist Francis Weller put it, “We will coax our stories into the visible world where they can be held within the healing embrace of community.” Based on Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects, the sacred space we hold together welcomes every aspect of our experience so we can become more available for the healing of our world.

About Gwen

Gwen Gordonis a Swiss Army knife for transformation. She began her career building Muppets for Sesame Street, then got off the street to start a production company producing programs for children in hospitals. After receiving her masters degree in philosophy, Gwen began teaching, writing, and leading workshops on the transformative power of play and has applied her insights about play in settings ranging from San Quentin prison to the MIT Media Lab, Spirit Rock Meditation Center to Esalen Institute. She was one of the first trained facilitators of Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects and a student of Martin Prechtel, and Sobonfu Some’s grief rituals. Gwen is the author and illustrator of The Wonderful Wa children’s book for adults. She is currently in practice as somatic trauma healer and transformational coach working. You can watch her TEDx here.

LUKE CONCANNON
LUKE CONCANNONTransformative Song and Silence

My hero…I learned everything from him’ Ed Sheeran

The intention for this concert is for it to be delicious; ‘as it is in heaven’; Luke Concannon is a chart topping, influential anglo Irish, devoted singer-song writer, who the BBC calls ‘political intense angular and beautiful’. Excellent music, in service of the world we long for, moments of silence to gather ourselves, stories, fun, singing and laughing.

About Luke

“One of my three main influences along with Van Morrison” –– Ed Sheeran | “Political, intense, angular and beautiful” BBC Radio 1 | “The real deal” The Guardian

Luke (the singer songwriter of the UK/Irish number one “The JCB song”) started singing aged five at his Irish family’s parties; he’s been sharing music in community ever since. New album ‘Ecstatic Bird in The Burning’ (out Feb 5th 2021) is about the power of active hope, in a burning world

DAVID MACLEOD
DAVID MACLEODEnergy and Power: An integral Permaculture Exploration

This presentation will be informed by: David Holmgren’s essay on “Energy and Permaculture;” systems ecologist Howard T. Odum’s pioneering work on Energy, Ecology, and Economics; Chinese Medicine and Taoist Qigong understanding of Qi (life-force energy); cultural philosopher Jean Gebser’s understanding of how power and energy manifest in different structures of consciousness (the Archaic, Magic, Mythic, Mental, and Integral); all of this with a PatternDynamics oriented naturalistic cosmology!

About David

In the early 2000s, David was part of the Eco-Bell community, that eventually became Sustainable Bellingham, where he served as part of the core Vision Team. He also joined the Cascadia Workshops production team where he was introduced to Alan Seid’s teaching on Non-Violent Communication, Integral theory, Integral Sustainability, Permaculture, and Financial Integrity.

In the late 2000s, David initiated and served on a local city and county appointed Energy Resource Scarcity/Peak Oil Task Force, and then became a co-initiator of Transition Whatcom, which engages Bellingham and Whatcom residents in building community resiliency in the face of resource scarcity, climate change and economic uncertainty. David earned his Permaculture Design Certificate at Inspiration Farm in 2009, the same year he was named an “Environmental Hero” by RE Sources for Sustainable Communities.

In 2014, David became a certified PatternDynamics™ workshop facilitator, which combines elements of integral theory, permaculture, sustainability, and complexity theory into a pattern language for a thriving planetary civilization – or “a systems thinking tool for creating systems level change.”

David’s writing has been published by Resilience.org, Integral Review, and Integral Leadership Review, and he was a presenter at the 2015 Integral Theory Conference on the topic “Navigating the Patterns for a World in Energy Descent.”

David is also a cornet playing musician who enjoys improvising in settings that are sweet, idiosyncratic, abstract, and meditative.

Nicola also uses the healing art of Qi Gong as a part of the journey of self-discovery. Through movement, breath and intention, Qi Gong can help harmonize and strengthen the bodily system and teach people to anchor into the present moment so that they can begin to tune into what their body is saying. All these tools are used to cultivate self awareness and to connect more deeply to our true nature by cultivating intuitive wisdom and so find the healer within

JASMINE BELL

LISA STEIN
LISA STEINHeart of Now

Heart of now is a program teaching skills for getting in touch with our authentic selves – our needs, desires and feelings. As we share ourselves, we can create closeness, and support each other’s differences, needs and feelings.

In this workshop, looking at how we feel closer during these challenging times, Lisa will lead a series of experiential exercises to allow people to get to know each other quickly and deeply. The intention is for participants to have fun and get to know each other better at this event, AND to learn exercises can be taken back to your home communities to promote deeper connections. Lisa will use her intuition to hear what uniquely needs to be offered for you to sink into your heart and body and find the answers that you need.

About Lisa

“We can heal. From wherever we start, our life can get lighter and easier. We can get in touch with the ideas and emotions that have us repeating unwelcome behavior patterns. Becoming aware of them in a visceral way (not just talking about it) will create more room for change.”

Lisa has been participating in the Heart of Now since 2001 and facilitating since 2006. She has been involved in personal growth work for the last thirty years. Her roots are in co-counseling, gestalt, dream-work, psychotherapy, and process-oriented psychology which she incorporates into her work as a facilitator and mediation counselor.

Jay pulls from years of performing and teaching at music and arts festivals, experience as an outdoor educator and coordinating The RE Store’s Recycled Arts and Trash Fashion Show in Bellingham, WA.

ALAN SEID
ALAN SEID8-Shields & Kalapa Presentation, Introduction to Integral & Lifestyle Design Masterclass

Thursday

The 8-Shields Model is a simple pattern based in nature which can be used as a metaphor for life’s cycles, a checklist for events, a flowchart for projects, and an organizational map to integrate people’s diverse gifts into a cohesive team. The 8-Shields Model also clarifies some confusing issues around consensus decision-making, as well as between hierarchical vs egalitarian approaches to organizational design. The Kalapa is an Empowerment Curriculum and Developmental Pathway organized around the 8-Shields framework. The Kalapa was created specifically for Positive Change Agents — defined as people who are committed to leaving the world a better place than they found it, as well as to their own personal growth and development.

Friday

The Integral Framework is a conceptual map that allows for every area of human knowledge and inquiry to see itself alongside other areas as well as in a larger context. Integral has been developed primarily by philosopher Ken Wilber, whose readers call “The Einstein of Consciousness,” because of the deep and far-reaching impact Integral is having and will have in many domains including business, medicine, activism, governance, leadership, and ecology to name a few.

Saturday

In this session we’ll overview some of the most powerful Visioning & Manifesting and Lifestyle Design processes and methodologies. Then we’ll dive deep into 3 Questions that will help you clarify your Life Purpose

cascadiaworkshops.com

Alan Rafael Seid has been on a search for the most effective processes, tools, and methodologies for living in harmony within ourselves, with each other, and with the planet, since 1987. Kalapa grew out of this search. Among other things, he holds a Certificate in Permaculture Design, is a CNVC Certified Trainer, and lives on his dream property which he found 20 years ago using tools he teaches. Alan teaches globally and has thousands of followers, subscribers, students, and clients all over the world.

GARY REISS
GARY REISSBecoming the Most Effective Change Agent with the Least Chance of Burnout—-Process Work, 4 Phase Method, and World Change

With Gary Reiss, LCSW, PhD, Certified Process Work Trainer

Especially in such polarized times, we need new and powerful tools to help navigate the waters of social change. We want to do this in a way that produces the best results and protects us as change agents from too much stress, depression, and burnout. Process Oriented Psychology, or Process Work as it is called, offers facilitation tools that combine inner work, meditation, and social action. One of the most useful tools we will focus on practicing, is learning how to move fluidly through the 4 phases of working with conflict and social issues.

This work is deeply, psychological and spiritual while focusing on sitting in the fire of some of our hottest social issues in order to bring about sustainable change.

About Gary

Dr. Gary Reiss holds an LCSW, PhD., and is a certified trainer in Process-oriented Psychology. Gary has a private practice in Eugene and Portland, Oregon, and teaches Process oriented Psychology worldwide. His specialties include family therapy, sex therapy, working with coma patients, Worldwork in hot spots in the world, organizational development, and integrating Process work with different spiritual traditions. Gary is the director of the nonprofit The International Peace Group. He has published 13 books including Healing History, The Dance of Sex; Dreaming Money: and Families that Dream Together, and Love, Power, and Wisdom, and Process Oriented Facilitation.

DJ Tru-ah
DJ Tru-ahDance Party

His digital music library literally spans all genres and generations. Adding a depth of experience and variety of palate to any venue, gathering or class. From a wedding to corporate party, yoga classes to birthday parties; his level of professionalism and dedication to his craft are paramount. When Joshua isn’t behind his laptop creating new music he is dancing with his 2 year old daughter and wife in their home in the hills of Mount Baker, in Bellingham.

Born and raised in the PNW, Joshua (Aka DJ Tru-ah) turned his early love of music into a long-term affliction in the early 2000’s. Combining classic favorites from all genres and infiltrating them current bass heavy beats that ignited Seattle dance floors into a frenzy. His innate ability to read the energy of any crowd and instigate them to smile and dance, is not only one of his biggest strengths but something he finds great love in doing.
