The Gandhian Iceberg and the Gift Ecology
a deep dive workshop for change makers,
with Kai Sawyer


Friday, June 28 9:30-4:30pm
REconomy Centre and Leachwell Garden

Booking is essential as space is limited.
Email jay(a)transitiontowntotnes.org
 
Cost: Kai graciously accepts what you are happy to gift so that he can continue to share and facilitate for the benefit of humanity.
*One suggestion is a massage therapy session that evening. :-)

The Gandhian Iceberg is a model for those committed to "being peace" and co-creating a nonviolent culture where all-life can thrive. in this workshop we will explore this simple but profound model composed of three parts: satyagraha (courageous action inspired by love), constructive program (collective practice of living together), and self purification (deep inner work). We’ll also explore:

* adventures in the world of giftivism (the practice of gift economy and living in service)
* ‘Integral non violence’, permaculture and NVC
* how to be "moved by love" rather than fear and anger
* what all of you are moved by, what challenges you are facing in life, and explore how to be more empowered and joyful on this exciting journey.

Kai is founder of Peace and Permaculture Dojo and Tokyo Urban Permaculture, a practitioner of the gift economy, and teacher of permaculture, NVC, and holistic systems-level social change.

FEB 25 Zen Permaculture Workshop in Melbourne

From Melbourne Permabliz website

Togetherness Design: Zen Permaculture workshop with Kai Sawyer

by Cecelia Macauley · February 25, 2017

Date(s) - February 25, 2017
Time - 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

What is it like to do meaningful work every day, without asking for money, floating through life on a bubble of love?

Now you can meet someone who’s been doing it since 2011, with beautiful results: The amazing Kai Sawyer is in town!

This is a Half-day presentation and active workshop gifted by Kai, with a shared lunch.

Kai is the founder of Tokyo Urban Permaculture, and is the inspiration behind its initiatives.
He runs workshops on the gift economy, systems thinking, deep mindfulness, NVC empathetic communication, and how to escape the salaryman trap.

Kai went to school at the illustrious Tokyo University. If you’re Japanese, you’ll know how impressive this is! That’s because studying there means you get to run Japan. Let’s hope he does!

The presentation will be on creating lively networks of support, rather than trying to do things alone. It’s also on Empathetic Communication. Just a slight shift of perception can dramatically transform our world, side-steping the communication malfunctions that are usual for we humans.

It’s at a private house, and places are limited. If you wish to attend, just fill in the form below and we’ll confirm your place and then reply with all the details.


What’s happening

11.30 – 12.30 We will gather together in a house in Fairfield (not far from a train station!) The first hour Kai will present on creating a social ecosystem that you love being in. He shares insights from his year of living in a food forest, his work with City Repair in Portland Oregon, and the ways of being encoded in Japanese traditional culture can make a more convivial, thoughtful life possible.

12.30 Lunch, Networking. Please bring a healthy dish to share!

1.30 – 3.00 Empathetic Communication Experience. Kai has done this workshop all over Japan, and says it just ‘tickles his soul’ every time he does it.

You know how when someone leaves dirty dishes around and you are upset? It’s not about dishes. What is it about? Sometimes we often don’t even know ourselves!

You can create around yourself a network of effective allies, to make your lovely visions a daily reality. WWOOf Volunteers, the share economy, are all there for you.

With the resources and nature (flawed and wonderful) that you already have, you can create a home and work environment that will take care of you, freeing you up to do good work for the world

Kai will also share some of his own projects to inspire your own: his year of living in the Eden-like food forest, sleeping in a fully-furnished bedroom without walls. Crowdsourcing a book, and recently being gifted enough to create the Permaculture Dojo: renovating a traditional farmhouse for co-working on thrilling projects, outside Tokyo, fueled by shared dinners and shared dreams.

Cost: Workshops are gifted, complelety free of obligation to give back, with no set donation amount. There is the option to gift Kai with whatever you would like him to have, to enable him to continue this work.

A message from Kai to Permies:
Gift Economy and donations write up

＊I would love for people to read this before they attend


Empathy space (aka NVC Needs Poker)
This is an activity to share our struggles and celebrations (to whatever depth we want to), and just receive empathy. It’s not about “fixing” or judging or analyzing or strategizing, and its all about just being with what is. We will gently go beyond the words, beyond the “problem”, and into the deeper needs or yearnings of each of us.

It is a simple design (easily replicable) to create the conditions necessary for us to give and receive empathy, and all the beauty that unfolds from there. One of the most effective approaches to transforming our conflicts, relationship challenges, and unwanted habits. Getting to the heart of whats important, in a short amount of time. No experience necessary, just your presence and willingness.

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing,
there is a field. I will meet you there.”
-Rumi

Short and lovely video on Empathy by Berne Brown:


A note about social permaculture
NVC and mindfulness has taught me how to engage with conflicts peacefully and on a good day, joyfully. It has allowed me to shift my focus from “being nice” to being more real and authentic in a loving way. As my teacher Miki Kashtan says, maximum honesty with maximum care. And I’ve learned how much our worldview and language creates conflicts without even our awareness, and perpetuates the domination paradigm that we participate in unknowingly.In my journey I have visited a few amazing permaculture sites and intentional communities where human relationships (conflicts) made it the main reason people left. Sometimes plants are easier to understand then humans! Very tragic.My main interest is how to cultivate a healthy human ecology, where everyone’s life (and needs) is considered equally important. I’ve been trying to understand the invisible structures that have a large impact on our collective behaviors, how to transform oppressive cultural systems (inside and outside of us), and how to regenerate our nature of compassion and generosity.

"I want permaculture to help all people thrive, not just the privileged but those who are deeply trapped in violent social structures (e.g. African Americans, refugees, children in Fukushima, etc). That is the design challenge!"

What is it like to do meaningful work every day, without charging money, yet getting the resources you need to do world-changing projects? 

It could be like floating on a bubble of love: Slighty scary, somewhat uncertain, and full of welcome surprises.

This week you get to meet somebody living this way. The amazing Kai Sawyer hasn't charged for his work since since 2011, with beautiful results. 

Kai is the founder of Tokyo Urban Permaculture.

He runs workshops internationally on the gift economy, deep mindfulness, empathetic communication, and how to escape the salaryman trap. 

Kai will share some of his own projects to inspire your own: his year of living in the Eden-like food forest, sleeping in a fully-furnished bedroom without walls. Crowdsourcing a book, and recently being gifted enough to create the Permaculture Dojo: renovating a traditional farmhouse, fueled by shared dinners and shared dreams.

Kai went to school at the illustrious Tokyo University. 
If you are Japanese, that fact will impress you. 
That's because studying there means you get to run Japan. 
Lets hope he does.

- Create an 'Eco-system' of support around your projects.
- Remove the obstacles to being a great communicator
- Get a lightness about doing the big, beautiful things you thought were not possible.

Symphony of Peace Prayers 2015 (+ the Future of Leadership Forum)

English first

日本語は下だよ〜

Today, I'm helping out with the Future Of Leadership Forum in Tokyo. This started last year when Lynn Twist came to Japan. Then tomorrow, my good friend and giftivist Yuka Saionji invited me to the event below. I'm just so grateful to have so many friends who live to bring peace in themselves and in the world. We have an abundance of creative young peacemakers!!! Thank you thank you thank you.

2015 Symphony of Peace Prayers ceremony, to be held on May 17, 2015 at Fuji Sanctuaryand around the world.

Every year, the SOPP at Fuji is a large-scale event, welcoming many thousands of participants along with an international group of prayer leaders and guests. This year, we are hosting a very special SOPP, in which leaders in many different fields-including politics, business, science, education, and the arts-will join with religious and spiritual leaders from around the world to celebrate the inauguration of the Fuji Declaration.

The Fuji Declaration is an international charter that seeks to awaken the sacred consciousness-the divine spark-in all humanity, in order to spur a transformation in our civilization and create a more peaceful, harmonious way of life on the planet Earth. The declaration has been endorsed by a wide range of prominent individuals around the world who support its ideals and goals.

As a global celebration of harmony and oneness where people from all different backgrounds join together to pray for peace and create a better world, the SOPP at Fuji Sanctuary was seen as the perfect occasion to inaugurate this historic document. Already, the staff of Byakko Shinko Kai are busy preparing and upgrading the grounds of Fuji Sanctuary to get ready for this momentous occasion!

And of course, the 2015 SOPP will include its core programs of ‘Praying with the Religions of the World’ and ‘Prayers for Peace in Each Country and Region’. We are looking forward to conducting these programs with the many new guests and participants who will be experiencing them for the first time. It is our hope that in launching the Fuji Declaration amidst the harmonious, unifying energy of the SOPP, the combined power of these two events will further expand their reach, urging humanity to awaken to its true, divine nature even one day sooner.

The 2015 SOPP ceremony at Fuji Sanctuary is free of charge and open to all. Please contact us if you are interested in attending or need further information. The ceremony will also be broadcast live over the internet, and we invite everyone to tune in. The link for the webcast will be posted here closer to May 17.

Even if you will not be in Japan this May, we hope you will take part in the SOPP by attending or organizing a local ceremony or prayer gathering. The SOPP website has a map with events taking place around the world, and many inspiring resources to help you create your own beautiful peace gathering. If you will be hosting an event or even praying at home on your own, please register on the SOPP website and let us know about it! The more people who take part, the stronger the vibrations of peace and harmony we will send out across the world!

May Peace Prevail on Earth!



ギフトエコノミー仲間の
ゆかちゃんから
こんな集まりに誘われたよ〜

因に僕は特定の宗教に属してはないけど、
スピリチャリティーは育てている
全ての命との繋がり
インタービーイング
平和・慈悲・愛

Symphony of Peace Prayersとは「シンフォニー・オブ・ピース・プレーヤーズ（ＳＯＰＰ）」は、さまざまな宗教を信仰する人々が一堂に会し、輝かしい未来の平和を創造してゆくための聖なる場であります。
ＳＯＰＰの目的は、参加者が異なる宗教の真理、歴史、儀式、教義に理解を深めつつ、お互いの祈りを尊重し、祈り合うことにより、平和なひびきを世界中に発信しつづけてゆくことであります」　
― 富士聖地ＳＯＰＰでの西園寺昌美のスピーチより

ＳＯＰＰは、”平和に向けた意識変革”の一つのムーブメントとして、毎年５月に世界中で開催されている行事です。平和な未来の創造は、私たち一人一人の心から始まります。信仰、信条、民族、国籍、経歴など、あらゆる違いを超えてＳＯＰＰの場に集まられた人々は、平和で調和した世界を体験し、自らの心の平和が世界に向けて広がってゆくことを実感されることでしょう。

さまざまな平和の祈りを共に祈るＳＯＰＰのコアとなるのは、祈りのプログラムです。「各宗教・宗派の祈り」のセレモニーでは、さまざまな宗教の平和の祈りを各宗教の代表者が祈り、参加者もその祈りやメッセージを唱和します。そこにいるすべての人が、お互いの平和を祈り合うのです。
祈りには力があります。皆で心を合わせて祈る平和の祈りは、大いなる力となって発信されてゆきます。参加者は、固有の宗教を持っていなくても構いません。平和に向けて、心から共に祈ろうと望む方が、意識改革の潮流を創り出してゆくのです。
人々がそれぞれの宗教の平和の祈りを祈ろうと心を開くと、その場は愛と平和のメッセージに包まれてゆきます。その愛と平和への願い、祈りこそ、すべての宗教やスピリチュアルな教えの真髄であると言えましょう。さまざまな教えを信奉する人々が一堂に会し、共に平和な世界を築くという目標を持つことで、人類は一つであるという意識に大きく近づいてゆくのです。
年々、ＳＯＰＰに参加する人は多くなっています。毎年５月の定期的なセレモニーに加え、年間を通して、世界各地で開かれているスピリチュアルな平和の行事（９月のインターナショナル・ディ・オブ・ピースや、その他の平和の催し）ともつながってきています。

国連本部総会議場での行事の中で行なわれたSOPP
2013年2月14日、アメリカ・ニューヨークの国際連合本部総会議場で、「United for a Culture of Peace Through Interfaith Harmony（宗教間の調和を通じた平和の文化のための結束）」という行事が開催され、第2部の中で「シンフォニー・オブ・ピース・プレヤーズ（SOPP）」が行なわれました。このプログラムでは、11人の宗教代表者が、各宗教宗派の平和の祈りを行ない、その冒頭で、本会西園寺昌美会長が、SOPPの提唱者としてスピーチを行ないました。
国連総会議場で宗教の祈りが行なわれるのは異例のことでしたが、この日、人々は「いかなる宗教信仰があろうとも、平和のもとに一つになれる」ということを謳い上げ、厳かで美しい平和の祈りの交響曲を奏でました。

_________________________________

Additional information on Lynne Twist:
Lynne Twist, global visionary, author, speaker, master fundraiser, human rights advocate and environmental activist is returning to Japan in May 2014 after more than 20 years absence.

Her book, “The Soul of Money,” speaks to the possibility of creating a new relationship with money, life and personal power based on the principle of sufficiency—freedom from the toxic myths of scarcity: ‘there’s not enough for everyone’, ‘more is better’, and ‘that’s just the way it is…there’s nothing we can do about it.’

Lynne raised over 200 million dollars as Chief Fundraising Officer with The Hunger Project, while traveling the world working to end starvation on the planet. Today her collaboration with the Nobel Women’s Initiative supports the movement to end violence against women everywhere. She is a compelling advocate for grass roots organizations and NPOs working towards environmental and social justice and creating a thriving, sustainable human presence on the planet in harmony with the natural world.

The Pachamama Alliance, co-founded by Lynne, her husband Bill Twist, and Jon Perkins, in partnership with the Achuar tribe in Ecuador, defends the rights of indigenous people in the Amazon rainforest, and also strives to awaken people all over the world to the state affairs on our planet, and the pressing need for everyone to become a change agent, to become part of the solution, through realizing how amazingly resource-full we all are in committed community.
