[OccupySheffield] New group starting in Manchester

[Anna Harris]

*AWAKENING CONSCIOUSNESS*

- *Finding our authentic voice*

*Collaborative workshops *

*focussing** on the current processes of change in ourselves and the world *

*towards a more generous and creative future.*

While many of us are aware that the systems we are living with are not
serving the interests of the majority of humanity, and are actually
damaging the foundations of life on this planet, we can be overwhelmed with
feeling helpless to change direction. Our dependency on these systems in
providing our everyday needs, traps us into supporting them. Lulled into a
stupor by media, drugs and shopping, we are complicit in our own
destruction.


 With increasing world-wide communication our collective concern for the
human family and the whole biosphere brings an awareness of ourselves as
integral to the web of life. This understanding sees, in the current
crises, the possibility of a new consciousness breaking through old habits
of thought and patterns of behaviour to produce a more just and sustainable
future.

*Since we are part of the problem, can we be part of the solution? *

*Can we become agents instead of victims?*
