"Awakening The Dreamer" Symposium

Welcome to Awakening the Dreamer, a transformative educational program that explores the challenges facing humanity at this critical moment in time and the opportunities we as a human family have to create a new future. RSVP http://www.pachamama.org/workshop/3185/Awakening%20the%20Dreamer%20Symposium

A TRANSFORMATIVE PERSONAL JOURNEY

In Awakening the Dreamer, you'll look squarely at the state of the world—where we are and
how we got here—and then explore what role you can play in bringing forth an environmentally
sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, socially just human presence on this planet.

•••Changing the Dream

Awakening the Dreamer was created in response to an invitation from the Achuar people of the
Ecuadorian Amazon to work in partnership to shift the dominant culture of consumption and
alienation to one that honors and sustains all life.

•••Where Are We?

You'll start with an examination of the ways in which the current "dream" of the modern world
is impacting the environment, our relationship with one another, and our own sense of purpose.

•••How Did We Get Here?

You will explore how this all came to be, and confront the powerful unexamined assumptions
that are at the heart of the current crisis we are in—as a species and as a planet.

•••A New Story

You’ll hear about the new story emerging at this time in history—a story that recognizes
how profoundly connected everyone and everything is.

•••What is Possible Now?

You will come to see that a new future is possible and that a huge, unstoppable movement
is already emerging and in action, committed to creating a new story for humanity.

LunchTime "Practical QiGong" - Phillip "Pete" Starr

QiGoing is a holistic system of coordinated body postures and movement,

breathing, and meditation used for health, spirituality, and martial arts training.

Benefits of practicing QiGong

Increase your internal and external strength!

* With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts,

qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (pronounced "chee") or what has been translated as "life energy".

* According to Taoist philosophy, respectively, qigong allows access to higher realms of awareness, awakens one's "true nature", and helps develop human potential.

* Qigong practice typically involves moving meditation, coordinating slow flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and calm meditative state of mind.

* Qigong is now practiced throughout China and worldwide for recreation, exercise, relaxation, health maintenance, self-healing, and training for certain martial arts.

Poetry Slam
OM Center is the National Poetry Venue for Nebraska!

It's the longest-running slam in Omaha, often featuring

some of the best performance poets in the nation.

Open mic starts at 7:30 followed by the Slam • Sign up BEFORE 7:30; signup is limited

What is a Poetry Slam? It's competition poetry; meaning humor, politics, enlightenment, sex, entertainment masquerading as literature, literature masquerading as entertainment.

Poets read, then judges chosen from the audience flash Olympic-style scoring (ranging from 1 to 10) based on both the writing and performance of the poem. This goes on for 3 rounds to determine somebody with a high score that we can declare as the winner. In truth, everyone who adds to the evening should be considered a winner, but since we only have one Golden Monkey trophy, we have to figure out some way to give it out.
