Publicity Update for 22nd & Help Spread the Word!

[muza...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

 

UPDATE ON PUBLICITY FOR 2ND MAIN EVENT!

 

The 2nd Main Fast for the Planet event has already been put out to a diverse range of networks, many of whom have publicised the event on their websites. There have also been a number of us who have been putting flyers out in cafes, community centres, buildings used for worship etc...

 

We ask if you can support these efforts by telling friends and colleagues about Fast for the Planet, its transformative approach, and of course by coming to St Ethelburga's on the 22nd to join in! If you want to participate in the upcoming 2nd main event and haven't yet registered, it will be of great help if you can do this via the website as soon as possible (it's very straightforward!). We look forward to welcoming you on the 22nd!

 

We also have an updated notice below that includes the facilitators, and which can be forwarded to networks, lists, put on the web etc...

 

Please help spread the word!...

You are invited to:

'FAST FOR THE PLANET': A transformative approach to caring for the earth

2nd Main Event

 

Download flyer here: http://www.fastfortheplanet.net/Resources/resources.htm

 

Date: Sunday March 22nd 2009
Time: 4 - 8.20pm
Venue: St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation & Peace, 78 Bishopsgate, London. EC2N 4AG. (Nearest tube: Liverpool Street). (Click to view map)

 

If you prefer community, over corporate domination; simplicity, over consumerism; economic systems that are real, over ones that are fictitious, then this is for you!
With a destabilising climate, and an economy in crisis it's clear we need deeper, more joined up solutions. 'Fast for the Planet' draws together a range of supporting values that include the inner (e.g. through fasting), the economic, and community, and weaves them together into a more coherent whole. The experience is fun, empowering, challenging and purposeful!

 

Includes: reflective exercises; choice of workshop:

 

A very brief introduction to Permaculture:  Nicole Freris (Naturewise);

Debt-free Home Finance, with Tarek El Diwany (Author, 'The Problem with Interest);

Sharing Stories & Poetry:'New Perspectives Emerging as Story', with Peter Challen (Christian Council for Monetary Justice),

plus a talk on

Forms of Activism by Derek Wall (Green Political Campaigner);

 

We will also be ending fast together.

 

The wider event will be facilitated by: Helen Gilbert (St Ethelburga's), Olufemi Hughes (Community Dialogue for Change - CDC) and Muzammal Hussain (LINE). Please visit the website to register your place as well as for details about fast times, preparatory measures and food.

Organised by LINE (London Islamic Network for the Environment) & St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace.
