July 6 Press releases and projects

July 6, 2011
We are diffidently moving toward the end of this course. People are getting edgy. I have had it with the food and finding myself hungry but eating less and less every meal, snacking when I can on my stash and drinking lots of coffee and less water. It is not as hot here but we are also doing class inside in a warm room and I am trying to keep from missing information by staying tanked on caffeine.

Morning session, we talked about relationships and how we communicate. I have done some of this work with Starhawk before. Active listening, witnessing and engaging in conflict with different models as we worked with partners. The we talked about story telling and writing stories and books. The about press releases, how to write them and how to communicate with the press.

All afternoon we worked on our designs for our final projects. It rained really hard and we watched the wind blow across our little cabin.

In the evening we had to listen to our host go on for 2 1/2 hours about her view of humanity and almost everyone fell asleep. So goes the last few days. We are very busy with our finals, we present tomorrow in small groups.
