Minnesota Presencing Community: Harvest Basket

About 130 people participated in the Minnesota Presencing Forum on October 24, 2011. The goal of the forum was to strengthen the Minnesota hub of people practicing awareness-based collective change methods in pioneering a more sustainable, inclusive, and aware society. The following images, reflections, and themes came out of the forum and follow-up gatherings.
