Extinction Rebellion Temazcal
Gather together this Summer Solstice with our shared vision of restored harmony and wellbeing on our planet in the ancient temazcal ceremony.
We are also welcoming very much all those involved with or inspired by the Extinction Rebellion movement.
Our ancestors treated the earth as sacred and knew that our wellbeing was inextricably connected to the wellbeing of the planet.
They communed in sacred ceremonies to maintain their spiritual connection and gratitude to our earth as a living being. Their sense of ritual and honour contributed towards balance and respect for life on earth.
We are blessed to have Melanie Wartho to hold this ceremony for us. She has been living in Ecuador and Peru holding these ceremonies for many years.

How does Our Government Work?
We know big changes are needed on our island to prepare for the climate crisis years we are in. To be engaged with this fully, we need a comprehensive understanding of how our governing body works in Jersey.
Following a conversation thread in the Extinction Rebellion Jersey group here on facebook, to which many people attested ignorance and confusion in fully understanding our governing system, we have created an event to help gather and educate ANYONE who wishes to turn up and learn.
We are very grateful to Senator Sam Mezec, who has accepted our invitation to explain the system and answer any questions that you all may have at the end, and also to Constable Simon Crowcroft for supporting our needs as a community.
Please register your interest at the ticket link and join our group below if you believe the wellbeing of our planet should be at the forefront of all of our hearts and minds.

Awakening the Dreamer
Blown away by the enormity and the urgency of Our Ecological Crisis?
Join us on the transformational “Awakening the Dreamer” Symposium created by The Pachamama Alliance.
The aim of the symposium is “To bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling & socially just human presence on the planet.” Through an inspiring and engaging educational experience, participants are empowered to respond to humanity’s current situation with action and an informed, grounded ability to positively engage in creating a new future together.
We will look at:-
• The role of imagination and creativity in our visions of tomorrow.
• How we can exist in a network of like-minded individuals to be the change we want to see in our world today?
• Realising each of our innate gifts to contribute to our world.
• What was the mindset that got us to this point? Where are we now? Where do we go from here? What is emerging?
“The Pachamama Alliance” who created the Symposium are a collaboration of indigenous, scientific, activist and humanitarian minds.
Join our heartful journey together through the heart of our current global situation.

Wild Earth Dance (Re-wild your body, mind and spirit)
Dive with us into the deep waters of conscious ecstatic dance to access the wisdom and power in the body..
** BOOK EARLY AND SAVE £5 **
We gather together on an open floor space, where our bodies move freely without judgment or concern for the “grace” or beauty of the dance, a place where we can fully be ourselves without apology through a moving body prayer, cultivating acceptance and compassion of the beautiful and tragic human condition
Our hall is dimly lit without specific observers or verbal conversation. Suggestions and invitations are given through a microphone by the facilitator in a space that is held enough to feel safe and yet open enough to encourage creative freedom of expression. Newcomers are always welcome. There is much evidence to suggest that creative movement and dance supports a happy, healthy and fulfilled life.
When: Saturday 8th June
** Bring: water, blanket
** Wear: comfy layers
** Cost: book your place before 4th June and pay earlybird price of just £10 … otherwise £15 after and on the door.
** Location: The Bridge Family Centre in Le Geyt Road
** Time: 7pm to 9pm.
Please arrive 10 minutes early to begin on time together.
The evening is facilitated by Maria Barnicoat who started holding regular conscious dance classes back in 2008 (‘bare foot ecstatic dance’ and later ‘soul movement’) after immersing in shamanic dance practices that supported and deepened her personal growth and spiritual journey. She is influenced strongly by 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine, Soul Motion, Buddhism, Nature and Mysticism with a passion for loving our planet, staying grateful and overthrowing the patriarchy.
“Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance, and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet.”— Rumi

DECLARE CLIMATE EMERGENCY NOW
People of Jersey. The time for change is NOW.
Unite with us to create a better island for ALL!
Stand with us at our event:
DECLARE CLIMATE EMERGENCY NOW
In rallying support from our islanders with our movement.
On Monday 15th April 1pm – 2.15pm, Royal Square.
Join our facebook group to discover ways we can live more environmentally conscious together.
The aim of this group is to gather, unite and mobilise as many groups and individuals here in the Channel Islands with passion and concern for the environment and our future to affect change as a part of a global uprising. As a group under the Extinction Rebellion flag we aim to follow their principles and values as well as working towards their 3 demands by taking action from the 15th April.
OUR DEMANDS:
1- The Government must tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological emergency, reverse inconsistent policies and work alongside the media to communicate with citizens.
2-The Government must enact legally binding policy measures to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025 and to reduce consumption levels.
3- A national Citizen’s Assembly to oversee the changes, as part of creating a democracy fit for purpose. We are in an age of abrupt climate breakdown & ecocide. It’s time to take action. You can join us – this is your movement & future too.
To keep updated and support our island transitioning into a CARBON NEUTRAL FUTURE join our facebook group above or keep checking back to this page!
TOGETHER WE RISE
