SUMMARY:We are not Separate -  Perceiving and working with subtle energies in nature: 5 weekly online/offline meetings beginning Saturday 6th May 2023 9.00am - 11.00am
DESCRIPTION:Through a series of simple meditation and movement exercises\, we will learn ways to perceive the subtle and often unnoticed energies that live in the world around us. With continued practice\, these inspiring introductory exercises can help us feel more in tune with the phenomena of nature\, leading to more empathic ways of connection.  \nUsing a unique blend of online meetings\, individual exercises in nature\, and shared internet–free meditative spaces we will create a warm and supportive group experience\, which can nurture the unfolding of our perceptive faculties.\n• 5 x 2–hour Zoom meetings including meditation and nature connection exercises\, eurythmy–inspired movement\, space for sharing/questions (consecutive Saturdays 9.00am – 11.00am from 6th May)• 5 individual walking exercises in nature (between meetings)• 5 background reading texts from different streams of nature connection• 5 optional short group meditations offline\, remotely from our own homes (between meetings) \nApart from a deposit of £25\, the course is donation–based\, with a suggestion of £75.\nTo create a helpful shared space numbers are limited to around 12\nFor more information see: www.michaelfullergardens.co.uk/workshops\nfor bookings contact Michael Fuller at michaelfuller5@icloud.com / 07952 751029

SUMMARY:Gene Editing Regulation – Acknowledging Uncertainty Webinar 13th June 2pm to 3.30pm FREE
DESCRIPTION:Register your free place here \nAs the UK and EU consider the deregulation of gene-edited organisms in food and farming\, a persistent criticism has been government and policymakers’ failure to acknowledge or take account of uncertainties inherent in deregulation\, and the role that uncertainty plays in determining risk\, safety\, sustainability and appropriateness. \nThis failure is\, in part\, a result of decision-makers reliance on a very narrow range of specialist scientific advisors – the very opposite of what is needed in a post-normal science era\, where the stakes are high and science is less able to bring certainty to complex issues\, and where greater uncertainty demands consideration of the wider landscape and of views and inputs from a more diverse pool of expertise. \nJoin us as we explore some of the facets of uncertainty which sit at the intersection of genetic technologies and the agricultural and natural environment relevant to a ‘fit for purpose” regulatory discourse. \nSpeakers \nAnne Ingeborg Myhr\, SVP Biotechnology and Circular Economy at the independent research institute NORCE\, who will be speaking on a post-normal science approach to the regulation of genome edited crops and foods. \nMargret Engelhard\, Head of Division on GMO-Regulation and Biosafety at BfN (the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation)\, who will talk about the intended use of gene editing and gene drives in wild nature and how this increases uncertainty and therefore the need for wider input into regulation. \nDr Sarah Zanon Agapito\, Research Professor at NORCE in Norway\, speaking about the challenges and uncertainties in detection of new GMOs and the need for a multifaceted approach to this. \nFurther speakers to be announced. \nChair \nLawrence Woodward Director A Bigger Conversation/Beyond GM. Co-founder and former Director of the Organic Research Centre – Elm Farm\, Lawrence acts as an advisor for several projects related to seed production\, organic farming techniques and health. \nRegister your free place here
