There might also be a Black Out JamOut at the Community Space after..We can use as much help as posible for the lunch assembly, so it will be posted as a event of it's own..350.org a group of people from around the planet—young and old, scientists and writers and activists—who have one thing in common.

The Highlander Session idea has been floating around Denver this summer, evolving. After this session on the 17th, we will be breaking into small groups of 4-6 to share whatever versions of our life stories we wish to share with the group. It will be up to individual groups to determine their own structure and schedule.During this session on the 17th, we will practice this process in a larger group setting, as Josh and I have agreed to share our stories that night.The current hope is that we can grow, individually and collectively, as we learn to speak and listen with each other about our lives. All are welcome and encouraged to participate.We will practiceSelf reflection: What is the story of my life?Story telling: How do I want to present my experiences to others?Listening to understand: How can I contribute to atrusting and healthy environment? Trusting and healthy relationships?If you have not yet been to a Highlander Session, but plan to participate, it will be helpful for you to watch this hour long interview Amy Goodman did with folk singer, Utah Phillips. It's an hour of stories, and to watch it is to sit beside an elder who would love what we are doing. Many of us have watched this together, and discussed it; it's part of the impetus and context for our Highlander Sessions. Please watch it if you have the means:http://www.democracynow.org/2009/1/1/placeholder_utah_phillipsAlso, if you're interested, some information on what used to be the Highlander Folk School, and is now the Highlander Research and Education Center in the state of Tennessee: http://www.highlandercenter.org/about.aspSee More
