Facilitator:

Bill Kauth co-founded the New Warrior Training Adventure of the ManKind Project, the Inner King Training and the Warrior Monk. He is the author of A Circle of Men, published by St. Martins Press. Bill has been studying the state of the world for over ten years.

In 2005 we took the conversation to 23 cities including: Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Santa Fe, Taos, Durango, Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Tucson, Washington DC, Baltimore, Raleigh, Charleston, Gainesville, Miami, Biscayne Bay, Mt. Shasta, Portland and here at home in Ashland, OR.

I came to three conclusions: people feel scared, want community and honestly do not know how to get it. Thus I felt called to learn what might make community really work. I have worked very hard, learning to embrace the divine feminine.

Zoë Alowan brought her great shamanic energy into my life two years ago. I feel blessed to be with a woman who celebrates life in creative expression. We spent a year with our shamanic friend Norma Burton in what we might call the "women's cave." I have come to believe that community must focus around the feminine.

Now, after much preparation, we are offering a Community-Building Symposium on February 1, 2 & 3, 2008 at Buckhorn Springs in Ashland, Oregon.

We will find a way of "building a Lifeboat" as a new and conscious process which works with the wisdom of the group. This might begin with a wonderful process we call a Lifeboat Café. See the Building a Lifeboat section on how this might work.

We provide this site as a toolkit and as inspiration for you to build and launch your own sacred lifeboat.
