Esalen Workshop - Weekend of January 18-20, 2008

Jack Healey

"In this workshop I invite you to discover how a simple vision and simple desire can achieve big things without money or power," writes Jack Healey. Healey is the former director of Amnesty International-US, and the founder of the Human Rights Action Center in Washington, D.C. "And I want you to help with your stories. The first person to help is yourself, but you cannot stop there. The least of this world need something we may be able to deliver or send or organize—a belief system that says if I have some, others may need a part of it. That could be wealth, but more importantly, the world's suffering people need your brain, your vision, your hopes, and your decency.

"And the world needs your stories. Warming the heart with stories that can motivate could unleash a new power in the world, a new force not seen before, a drop of decency into Darfur or a help to Haiti that allows them to eat a good meal from their own labor. This workshop is my attempt to motivate participants to action. I hope I can help you see the big picture of human rights abuses without getting scared or frozen by its brutality. I want you to feel the family of doers and become one yourself."

This workshop is energized with opportunities to reach into other lives with empathy and promised delivery—to have a better, clearer vision of the future for your own action and deeds.
