Dear GTW Sisters,

As a member of Gather The Women and of Vessels of Peace, I wanted to tell you about a program starting in October. Vessels of Peace has been collaborating in various ways with the Gaiafield Center for Subtle Activism for over a year now. Last fall we participated in the GCSA WiseUSA project -- attending conference calls or holding sacred space for the calls. Some members have continued to be involved since then in the GCSA ongoing Friday Deep Listening calls as well as in the co-creating their next public project -- The WiseClimate Program. Core Circle members will be presenting classes in the WiseClimate Learning Community program as well as holding space for the public calls. We hope that you will join us in this opportunity either by participating in the GCSA public calls and/or the Learning Community. Please see below for a description of The WiseClimate Program and how to register for the Learning Community. (The formating of the orginal message did not carryover accurately to this bulletin board post, but it is readable, I hope.)

Please help us spread the word by forwarding this email to anyone you think may be interested in the program.
