I am super excited and honored to be attending The Do Lectures in Wales next September. I recently applied to be one of eighty people who will for four days camp out in the woods and hills of Wales to be together and connect and listen to talks from some extrodinary people.
Craig Mod explains it in this post better than I can cause he was there last year as a speaker. An excerpt from his post is below.
We made eye contact. We hugged. We drank — tea and coffee and beer — and hugged some more. For a moment we were a family of one hundred folks present in the woods. We shed our daily obligations. It was us atop dirt and grass, under the Welsh sky, nourished by food and conversation.
The folks there were farmers and cooks, conservationists, mad men, book worms and web weavers, designers, folks broken and desperately hunting beauty, psychologists, hypnotists, dreamers and, of course, doers.
This is what we do know: for four days the Do Lectures brought together one hundred caring, thoughtful folk. We connected. We were present. We dispersed.
Also, there are these two videos, one from 2009 and one from 2008 which really get to the heart of what it’s all about.
Thanks to The Do Lectures for this amazing opportunity and thanks to Be Playful for their support in getting me there.
