We'd like to make this a community supported effort in order to support those who need it. Just send me an email, thanks.

Comment by seth on March 18, 2010 at 12:09pm: We do regional gatherings every other year out around the country - our regional gathering tour was last fall all over the east coast, midwest, and in the rocky mountain region.
Because our events are popular education based and use mostly experiential learning and theatre of the oppressed, it is difficult to put them in a webinar format - we also believe that what sustains our transformative work in the world is the relationships that we build as we learn - so being on site with each other and figuring out more and better ways to do that is something we are constantly working on.
