SIT4Change @ Occupy – November 12, 2011
100,000 Supporters:
Practitioners, Meditators, Yogis, People of Faith, Spirit and Transformation
DO Different for 1 DAY
WHAT: SIT4Change is an inter/national campaign that raises awareness about transformative social change: a “new” approach that recognizes the importance of personal development to achieve social transformation.
Participants take on a SIT4Change Challenge: On November 12, 2011, we’re calling for people to demonstrate the transformative power of practice at any of over 200 Occupy Wall Street events. We know many occupy sites hold space for spiritual practices daily. What we are proposing is a call to action for a critical mass of spiritual, faith and transformation-based communities, groups and organizations to be invited to Occupy spaces everywhere.
Do 108 minutes (1 hour and 48minutes) of personal practices such as meditation, yoga, centering prayer, contemplative arts, devotional dance etc. These practices support individuals in being more effective, more compassionate and more sustainable as we advance progressive change.
WHEN: Saturday, November 12, 2011.
WHO: Hundreds of organizations, churches and communities of practice like yours, and thousands of individuals like you that believe in a just society that celebrates and supports personal growth and sustainability as a direct means to achieving social transformation.
