Download or read book Breaking Free A facilitator s guide to participatory action research practice written by Timothy Pyrch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking Free is a practical guide to facilitating self-directing educational processes into participatory action research (PAR) enabling average people to contribute what they can as active participants in research projects. As such, it is designed primarily for these participants rather than the academic researcher in order to introduce participants to authentic contributions they can make as activists in knowledge-making processes. At the same time, Breaking Free guides academic researchers towards helpful practices enriching their often times lonely and isolated existence created by a false sense of "objectivity." A hands-on practical yet disciplined approach to facilitating PAR prepares readers to craft their own individual Guide as they prepare for the PAR life. This opens up the world of knowledge-making to people long silenced by forces intent on controlling knowledge for the educated elite. Breaking Free invites people to contribute as they can and be recognized for this contribution.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to safe and effective psychedelic retreats “I don’t think psychedelics are the answer to the world’s problems, but they could be a start.” Sting Walking the Plant Path is an essential guide to facilitating lawful, psychedelic plant-medicine retreats. Being a facilitator is deeply satisfying but requires considerable skill and preparation to do well. This book guides you through all the key elements of being a facilitator, from both theoretical and practical perspectives, including: • Preparing yourself to facilitate a retreat, and why you need to do so • Choosing who should (and, importantly, who should not) attend a retreat • Working with participants’ “set” to help them prepare for the retreat • Creating a “setting” that is physically and emotionally safe and supportive • Managing the elements and logistics of a retreat–from the medicine to the music • Essential ground rules for a successful retreat • Supporting participants post-retreat to “integrate” their experiences The guide draws on the work of experienced facilitators and includes the author’s insights from years of teaching courses for plant medicine facilitators. Mental Health Practitioners This book is also of value to mental health practitioners, even if not interested in facilitating psychedelic retreats themselves. They will find that many clients wish to experience retreats–or already have. The guide provides the information needed to help clients identify appropriate facilitators and well-run retreats, and “integrate” their experiences afterwards.

Download or read book Lectio Divina Bible Study written by Stephen Binz and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an exceptional combination of one of the most ancient forms of Scripture study with historical, theological, and scriptural perspectives, Stephen Binz leads us on an incredible journey of enlightenment and appreciation in the areas of prayer, sacraments, and the Mass. The Bible testifies to the crucial role that the sacraments play in God's relationship with humankind. Yet sometimes we take them for granted and miss the true power and significance each sacrament represents. In Lectio Divina Bible Study: The Sacraments in Scripture, Binz leads us to a fuller, deeper experience of the sacraments by showing us how they are truly God's Word made visible, deriving their meaning from the Scriptures. Lectio Divina, the ancient practice of Scripture immersion, is at the heart of this process. It explores complex topics with sequential steps of study, meditation, and internalization. Specifically, every chapter leads you forward through a sequence of: Listening -- Reading Scripture with expectancy, trusting that God will speak His Word to us through it Understanding -- Seeking to comprehend the meaning of the text, encountering God there and being changed by that encounter Reflecting -- Linking the truth of the Scriptures to the experience of faith in the world in which we live Praying -- A dialogue with God: we listen to God, then we respond in prayer Acting -- After prayerfully listening to God through a passage of Scripture, we should be inspired to make a difference in the way we live The Lectio Divina Bible Study series is suitable for parish, small group, or individual use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mythological journey through 10 archetypes of psychedelic healing: ancient stories, tangible tools, and depth psychology insights Designed for a new generation of psychedelic facilitators and seekers, Psychedelics and the Soul invokes the traditions of Jungian depth psychology, mythology, and Indigenous cultural wisdom to meet a critical question of our times: How can the emerging field of psychedelic medicine heal the soul amid planetary crisis and collective opportunity? Psychedelic therapist Simon Yugler invites the reader on a mythological journey, using depth psychology to explore 10 universal themes that transcend our individual experiences—and reveal how psychedelic medicine can heal the soul and our collective unconscious in a time of uncertainty and initiation: The Well: The Unconscious, Symbolism, & the Mythic Unknown The Temple: Beyond Set & Setting The Underworld: Shadow, Grief, & the Descent to Soul The Serpent: Psychedelic Somatics & Shedding Your Skin The Monstrous: Trauma, Exiles, & the Wound That Heals The Trickster: Marginality, the Crossroads, & the Liminal Road The Guide: Power, Authenticity, & Inner Authority The Sacred Mountain: Vision, Ecstasy, & Becoming Nobody The Tree of Life: Animism, Climate Change, & the Ensouled Earth The Journey Home: Integration, Community, & Dancing with the Village Each archetype acts as a prism, using myth, fable, and universal wisdom to reflect back to the reader the collective experiences and unconscious truths that shape our psyches—and that are made more profound and accessible through psychedelics. Yugler shares how entheogens and plant medicine open a gateway to our understanding of our culture, selves, and interconnected reality toward wide-scale social and planetary healing.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Provocative and illuminating essays from women at the forefront of the climate movement who are harnessing truth, courage, and solutions to lead humanity forward. “A powerful read that fills one with, dare I say . . . hope?”—The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is more characteristically feminine and more faithfully feminist, rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. While it’s clear that women and girls are vital voices and agents of change for this planet, they are too often missing from the proverbial table. More than a problem of bias, it’s a dynamic that sets us up for failure. To change everything, we need everyone. All We Can Save illuminates the expertise and insights of dozens of diverse women leading on climate in the United States—scientists, journalists, farmers, lawyers, teachers, activists, innovators, wonks, and designers, across generations, geographies, and race—and aims to advance a more representative, nuanced, and solution-oriented public conversation on the climate crisis. These women offer a spectrum of ideas and insights for how we can rapidly, radically reshape society. Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, the book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save.
