Getting Into Action

Registering A Symposium

After you have been trained and are ready to lead a symposium, you can post and manage your symposium on the Facilitator Network.  The first step to posting a symposium is to create an account with the Symposium Manager.  How to join the Facilitator Network.

Forming Regional Groups

Community Groups are an ever-expanding network of global citizens who are inspired, supported, and committed to environmental sustainability,social justice and spiritual fulfillment. These self-generating groups allow people to connect locally and expand each individual’s impact by getting into action with others, focusing primarily on bringing the Symposium to their locales. The groups foster a place for new conversations and for groundbreaking ideas to germinate that not only empower us individually but also empower our communities. Community Groups cultivate a sense of joy and belonging that follows when we come into alignment with each other and the Earth.  To find out more about Community Groups, please contact a Community Group Leader in your area.

Volunteering

If you would like to take a role in the Initiative here are some volunteer opportunities that are specific to the Awakening the Dreamer program.  For additional TPA volunteer opportunities, visit www.pachamama.org.

Staying Connected

Yahoo Group

The Yahoo Group allows one thing that is not currently available on the Facilitator Network:  for those facilitators who would like to receive information from a wide group of other facilitators in the form of a daily digest of e-mails (or individual e-mails), or who would like to widely distribute information to a large group of other facilitators, the Yahoo Group is still the best place for that. For instance, if you want to announce, “There is a wonderful special on public television tonight about the growing influence of traditional indigenous wisdom!,” the Yahoo Group might be the best place.

On the other hand, the Facilitator Network DOES allow you to send an e-mail to the members of any specialized group that you are a member of—but that will not reach anyone else who has not joined that group.

So it’s your choice—remember that you have the option of choosing the “Digest” method of getting e-mails from the Yahoo Group, so that you get only one e-mail a day, one that you can skim down the Table of Contents to see if there is anything you’d like to read in more detail.
