An Inquiry into Mentorship

Date: 
Saturday, October 10, 2015 - 10:00am
Event Description: 
A Day-long Workshop with Peter Forbes Tickets: $15. Scholarships available. Please bring a brown-bag lunch. Drinks provided.

Join Peter Forbes in the company of an inter-generational group of adults exploring our need and our responsibility to be both mentor and apprentice.

Perhaps you have a story to share about a relationship across generations in Marin that mattered to you. Perhaps you are older and have skills and knowledge you want to share. Perhaps you are younger and hungry to know something about the stories and the people that have created our community. Perhaps you are an older resident who wants to stay connected. Or perhaps you are younger and need to know how you fit in. How do we better help each other? Limited to 35 participants.

About Peter Forbes: Peter has become a leader for the American conservation movement by creating a life in conservation as photographer, writer, and storyteller about the relationship between people and place. For the last 15 years, Peter has focused his energies on bringing together and strengthening the worlds of environmentalism and social justice and offering those professions his experience with story, facilitation, contemplative practice, and relationship to nature.  He is the co-editor of Our Land, Ourselves, author of The Great Remembering and What Is a Whole Community,  and co-author of Coming to Land in a Troubled World, and collaborated with William Coperthwaite as the photographer for A Handmade Life
