Dear friends,

We receive this invitation from Kosha at GEN, welcoming us to become hosts of GEN's upcoming online summit: The Power Of Community: Climate Change and Consciousness, taking place from February 1-10th, 2019.

Please read and reflect on this invitation with your communities!

Warm regards,

Fran

Dear Community Hubs around the world,

it  is an honour and a joy for us to reach out to you, and I hope and trust you will look upon this invitation kindly. Thank you for your work in the world!

I have just returned home after a journey both to communities on the ground in Africa and Asia, and to the UN Climate Conference, COP24 in Poland. The IPCC tells us that the gap between the Paris Agreements and what is happening on the ground is growing rather than narrowing - and we see the results of this as we listen more deeply to our unique and beautiful planet.  Life systems are stretched thin and communities are under threat. The future of our children and their children is fragile.

We all know this... we know that it is time to respond more fully and engage our hearts, minds, hands and souls in the inner and outer transformation that is wanting to take place. In our hearts, we know that it is not only possible, it is our calling and duty, as humanity, to move beyond ‘business as usual’ into a process of healing and regeneration. Sometimes, we just need to be reminded.

I would, therefore, ask you if you would be willing to host a space for the people around you to come together and share their despair and their hope? Would you be willing  to provide a round table for dialogue, inspiration, and sacred activism to emerge?

The Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) is very excited to announce our upcoming Online Summit: The Power of Community - Climate  Change and Consciousness, taking place from February 1st - 10th, 2019.

We are inviting YOU and your community, neighbours, friends, colleagues to consider becoming a Local Hub for this Global Event.

The Power of Community Online Summit aims to turn our conscious and compassionate attention towards a climate-changing world, and inspire individual and community-led action for a regenerative future.

We will be having a wonderful consortium of 30 leading edge thinkers and activists, sharing their thoughts, ideas and inspiration about how to work  towards a community-led and regenerative future. Our speakers include William Ury, Christiana Figueres, Rob Hopkins, Satish Kumar and many grassroots leaders. Every day, 3 interviews will be shown online, which you can watch at the time most appropriate for you, without charge.

The Online Summit will be free and accessible to everyone.  

Your Local Hub can take many forms - watching together with friends; arranging dinner parties and sharing circles with neighbours;  public events in the local community hall; and other forms you might wish to create . You could choose to run one or two weekend events, from 1-3 February and/or 8-10 February. Or you could come together in your community to watch an interview every evening. You can shape your Hub into the form that suits you.

As GEN, we understand the power of community, and see that each such meeting or event can become the seed for a transformational local action plan, a bold new project or the incubation of a next level of community solidarity.

We will support you by sending out daily topics for conversation and facilitation guidelines.

We would love you  to be a part of this! If you wish to engage, please sign up here: https://summit.ecovillage.org/

If you miss your favourite speaker or would like to rewatch any interviews afterwards, you will also have the option to purchase a complete digital package of the interviews when the event has concluded. GEN commits to ensuring that, once our costs are covered, any monies received will flow towards supporting the work of the Global Ecovillage Network, whose purpose is to Catalyze Communities for a Regenerative Future.

With kind regards and hoping to see you there,

Kosha Joubert
