Inspired by our friends at Occupy Wall Street, and Dr. Cornel West, Move To Amend is planning bold action to mark the second anniversary of the infamous Citizens United v. FEC decision!
Occupy the Courts will be a one day occupation of Federal courthouses across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Friday January 20, 2012.
- Move to Amend volunteers across the USA will lead the charge on the judiciary which created — and continues to expand — corporate personhood rights.
- Americans across the country are on the march, and they are marching OUR way.
They carry signs that say, “Corporations are NOT people! Money is NOT Speech!”
And they are chanting those truths at the top of their lungs!

The Rise of the Dark Feminine and the Healing of the Wounded Masculine
[improve]

- Location: In Other Words 14 NE Killingsworth, Portland, OR 97217

Purpose
There's a lot of hype about this year.
Come find out what to build up and what to put in the compost as we embark upon an exciting journey together in 2012.
Astrological events this year highlight the rising of the dark feminine archetype and deep healing for the wounded warrior.
The dark feminine is a power that is sourced in the living earth itself. It is wild and uncontainable, showing us the way to live with uncertainty. This energy helps us surrender old forms and transform them into vibrant, living, creative power.
The divine masculine is the part of each of us that wants to take action and make change, but it has been wounded and twisted by the dominator culture of violence and control. Now this part of the collective psyche is ready to be purified and get clear about what really matters.
Come find out more about what to expect in the year ahead and gain specific tools to support you in this great adventure of revolution and healing.
- Don't know anything about astrology?
Don't worry – we'll take it slow and go easy on the jargon.
Everyone will find something useful to help move through the changes of 2012 with more presence and grace.
- All genders welcome.
This lecture is free, but donations to In Other Words are accepted and strongly encouraged.

Purpose
- Dharma Circles invite us to rest in the ease of the present moment.
Frosty leaves as non-dual teachings from the world’s wisdom traditions open into the spacious field of the heart. Reflection, silent sitting, and silent movement soften our boundaries and open awareness of our essential nature, nearer to us than our own breath.
- All contemplative practices and levels of experience (or no experience) are welcome.
The door is open at 6:45. At 7:00 pm we begin with dialogue and dharma reflection, followed by an hour of silent practice.
- Feel free to bring cushions, mats, or whatever is comfortable for your sitting practice (some cushions and chairs are provided).
Grounded in the heart, our actions grow from deep soil to yield fruits that enhance peace, justice, beauty, and balance in all that we do.
In a tumultuous world, maintaining a spacious heart requires attention, intention, and ever-deepening love.
Sangha or satsang is created anytime we are present with others for reflection or practice in the space of the heart, in service of truth. Sharing that intention, our dialogues invite us into reflection on our deepest Being, Mystery, Emptiness, the Beloved.
- Every faith or no faith are equally welcome here.
We embrace human nature just as it is, holy and broken, perfect and imperfect at the same time, and steep together in the timeless present moment, where definitions slip away.
Gathering in satsang, sangha, or a community of practice provides a rich common ground as we travel in the terrain of the Heart.

We'll be meeting at the Standard Insurance Building at 900 SW 5th Ave at 12pm til 2pm.
The National Prison Industry Divestment Campaign is working to expose the profiteering of Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and the GEO Group, the biggest private prison companies in the US, who are making millions off the separation and incarceration of immigrants and communities of color at the expense of our tax dollars.
We are calling on all prison shareholders to divest from the prison industry.

- What does it take to
- Reclaim our power to be fully alive?
- To heal the trauma and pain that keeps us stuck?
- To deal with the judgment and criticism, the negative self talk and the attitude of demand, that keeps us separate from healthy connections with others?
- What does it take to tell our truth in a way that can be more easily heard by others?
The human soul hungers for the deep nourishment of understanding, connection and self-expression.
The domination system has outposts in our heads. We've been trained to think and communicate in a way that re-enforces our powerlessness and victimization.
Why? Because powerful people can't be bossed around. We don't give away our power through compliance.
- Every Tuesday we will explore what is alive in us and practice our communication using NVC.
Upgeya Pew is an experienced and trained educator in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Mediation. His passion is in creating partnership culture through transformation in consciousness.
- Attend this workshop and you will learn practical tools to
- Learn what triggers you emotionally.
- Clarify what’s underneath your negative self-talk so that you transform it into self-love.
- Develop skills for responding rather than reacting when in conflict.
- Increase your ability to build relationships based on compassion and mutual understanding.
- Create a world where we care for and respect one another, celebrating our differences.
