Kerry Brady, MA, SEP, supports others in awakening to an embodied recognition of our essential nature and inherent place within the larger unfolding web of life. She is the co-founder and director of Ecology of Awakening, which offers programs focused on collectively Re-Storying ourselves into the living Earth community to support the shift in consciousness needed to create a truly regenerative culture. Kerry has more than 25 years of experience in transformational modalities including non-dual wisdom approaches, psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing trauma work, permaculture, nature-based retreats and vision quests.

Kerry created and teaches Living Resiliency workshops, integrating biologically based trauma work with permaculture principles and practices in order to increase our adaptive capacity as we navigate this extraordinary time of cultural and ecological transformation. She serves as guest instructor on the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center’s permaculture design courses and on the Permaculture Skills Center’s Ecological Landscaper Immersion and Farm School. She has served as faculty at Animas Valley Institute and the California Institute of Integral Studies, where she and mathematical cosmologist Brian Swimme co-teach courses on living in participatory engagement within a living universe.

2016 Convergence Workshop: Living Resiliency: Our Biology as Our Greatest Resource

In order to create truly just and resilient communities, it is essential we Re-Story ourselves out of the predominant narrative of people and planet as commodity into the reality of being an inherent part of the ever-evolving web of Life. By placing ourselves into the 4.5 billion year unfolding Earth community, we more easily recognize the depth of the transition we’re in. With this context we can truly accept the invitation to become eco-literate, attuned, relational members of our collective landscape. Come explore in this workshop, lead by Kerry Brady, as we dive into what it is to become more permeable to the whole and, as permaculture teaches us, to “compose with Nature” rather than “imposing upon” it.

In addition to all the important work that is so essential right now – permaculture, biomimicry, social activism, etc – it’s clear that we need to simultaneously support a collective shift in consciousness in order to move forward collectively in a new way. We can’t move forward in a new way without a new lens.  The focus is on awakening from our old habits, patterns, conditioning and awakening to the whole Earth community and our essential nature as ever evolving and unfolding. From that place, as permeable beings, we can become biomimics and listen and respond in a new way. The workshop will be a combination of a talk, a discussion and an experiential exercise.
