If you’ve been following Dancing Rabbit for very long, you probably know our story and our relevancy pretty well: how many places, after all, are achieving such a high quality of life on 10% of the resources the average American uses?
Well, this year a lot more people will be inspired by what we’re doing, because in 2015 Dancing Rabbit, Inc.’s Executive Director, Ma’ikwe Schaub Ludwig, is bringing our message to a town near you with a national speaking tour!
If you didn’t catch it in 2013 (or if you just want to refresh your memory), here’s Ma’ikwe’s TEDx talk. The tour will feature an updated and expanded version of this talk, including a new section on climate disruption and how we can best respond to the challenges it poses. She’ll also be available to do workshops and meet with local activists in the places she visits, to help support and encourage concrete, impactful actions all over the country.
After attending this talk at the University of Missouri, one student said she felt “connected, hopeful and determined to act.” That’s what we’re hoping to encourage on campuses and in cities all over the country. Please join us!
Get Involved!
Check out the page for the tour on our website — if you don’t see your town on the tour yet, you can help bring Ma’ikwe to your area by contacting our Tour Coordinator, Mariyam Medovaya, with your willingness to help organize a talk or workshop for the tour. We’re interested in connecting with:
Universities/Colleges
Sustainability Organizations
Churches with Creation Care programs
Intentional Communities
and of course… you!
You can work with Mariyam to help us get our foot in the door with colleges, or organize a workshop or private consulting gig or training session for your group on one of the various topics Ma’ikwe teaches, including: starting an ecovillage, social skills for cultural change-makers, guerilla consensus, and encountering climate change.
And if your town is already on the tour, mark your calendar for your chance to meet Ma’ikwe, hear her speak, and help us get the word out about the event.
You can also make a donation to help support the tour. Turns out a nationwide trip is expensive!
Thanks for all you do, and we hope to see you in 2015!
