The first DVD in the Humanity Ascending Series, “Our Story” spans the history of the evolutionary journey of our species from the big bang to current times, where we find ourselves precariously standing at the edge of conscious evolution or self-destruction.  Our story is seen through evolutionary eyes as the unfoldment of a fourteen billion year journey of transformation, now pressing us forward to give birth within ourselves to a universal human and a universal humanity capable of coevolving with nature and cocreating with spirit.  Our storyteller, Barbara Marx Hubbard, provides the unique perspective of viewing our history through what she terms as “evolutionary eyes” as the unfoldment of a fourteen billion year journey of transformation that is now pressing us forward to give birth to a new, never before seen, universal humanity.  This compelling vision of hope sees us at an evolutionary edge where the old world is dying and the new world is being born.

Some testimonials:

At a time of increasing confusion and rising concern about our planet's future, the Humanity Ascending Series unravels the mystery of our collective experience in an extraordinary overview that is breathtaking in its scope, startling in its clarity, and gloriously hopeful in its thoughts about tomorrow, demonstrating once again why Barbara Marx Hubbard is considered a global treasure and one of the greatest visionaries of our time. --- Neale Donald Walsch

Barbara Marx Hubbard is one of the great world servers of our time and in this luminous video, her spirit and ideas evoke our larger destiny, our greater story. So potent and inspiring is Humanity Ascending that it could well be called the agenda for our evolutionary emergence. To view this video is to be charged with hope and a passion for the possible. ---- Jean Houston

Barbara Marx Hubbard is one of America's brightest lights. She makes this very complicated moment in history seem like a glorious opportunity. She gives guidance, and she gives hope. ---- Marianne Williamson

En Plein Air Workshop for Oil & Acrylic Painters or Pastel

Four full days of painting on Orr’s Island, ME

Sunday, June 24 to Friday, June 29, 2012

 with Jill Pottle www.pottleart.com

This is an exciting full 4 days of painting on location on Orr’s Island where there is the rich light and colors of Coastal Maine. Each day we will pick a location, set up and paint. The first day I will do a  demo for about an hour and a half to get students going. Then the students will dive into their own work for the rest of the time. We will visit at least three locations which includes open ocean, beach area, docks and boats and a rocky shore line. Students will learn how to simplify forms, develop overlapping areas of trees and rock to create depth, color relationships in the water and sky and land and address other compositional issues. We will learn how to get going quickly with the set up and how to capture the scenery fast with big shapes and ideas.  It’s exciting to paint fast and loose and try to capture a moment in time in nature.

 

We will work on location in different areas on Orr’s Island.  In bad weather we will work inside or on the porch of “Crow’s Nest” lodging. I will do group critiques the second and fourth day and we will all look at historical references at the end of each workday.  Students will work hard all day and relax and enjoy a home-cooked meal at night.

Location and Lodging

Margaret Arndt is sharing her old family summer house known as “Crow’s Nest" nestled on the top of a hill overlooking Harpswell Sound, a part of Casco Bay, on Orr’s Island in ME.  Crow’s Nest has seven bedrooms and two bathrooms that can accommodate 12/13 people.  An open porch faces west providing a spectacular view of the sunset and oftentimes Mt. Washington in NH over 100 miles away.

At the conclusion of each day, you’ll have free time and the opportunity to relax on the porch, and if the spirit moves you, paint the sunset!

The workshop fee is $425. Note: Lodging and included meals is a separate fee. Details are below.
