Starwalkers

Is Starwalkers for you?

Starwalkers is a program that will assist in personal transformation, resulting, ultimately, in societal transformation.

To help you understand if the program is something you might be looking for, consider the following statements and whether or not they describe who you are.

• You want to change the world. You realize that as a world, we are at a crossroads. We must reverse global warming, we must fashion more just societal systems, and we must live at peace if we are to survive. You are looking for tools and strategies, as well as a community of similarly intentioned people to make these changes.

• You are a young adult in your “Gap” year. You are a young adult, and have not yet enrolled in college and are unsure of your next steps, the next direction that you want your life to take. You are looking for a structured program and a community to help you clarify what is important to you, what will be fulfilling and make you happy, and how you will proceed next in your life.
• Your work is contrary to the mainstream and you seek renewal. You would like to participate in a retreat to be sustained in your work, which may be the life of a religious; consciousness-raising work; or work for social justice; traditional medicine or alternative health care professional; any work that is counter-cultural and needs a community and deep reflection for sustenance.
• You love nature. You want to be outside and work on the land, as part of a Community Supported Farm, or other projects in nature, and believe that such work is critical to a healthy future. You also believe that it is in and through nature that humans can have our most fundamental insights.
• You want to change your own life. You desire to change the direction of your own life. You seek a different, more satisfying and meaningful career; deeper understanding of yourself; different relationships with your family and friends; a clearer purpose, or any purpose at all; a healthier lifestyle; a more active and intentional community life.
• You are a student of Brian Swimme, Thomas Berry, Bill Plotkin, Wendell Berry or other thinkers, writers, and spiritual guides who urge humans to seek fulfillment not in technology or consumption, but in embracing the complexities of the universe and the mysteries of the spirit and soul for deeper understanding and transformative direction in life.
• You are lost and have nowhere to turn. You feel alone and confused. You have lost a loved one or have experienced another tragedy. You have lost faith in what you once believed in. You seek a caring and healthy environment to help you find your way again.

These are only a few of many reasons that you might find Starwalkers valuable. Please take the time to contact any of the teachers at Starwalkers to find out more about the program.
