The Dreaming of Norwich Inspired by the documentary about eco-theologian Thomas Berry, we have begun to explore the role of our imagination in creating a sustainable future. After last meeting’s presentation on The Earth Dreaming Bank, an inquiry into the relationship between human dreams and the consciousness of the earth, we decided to embark on a group exploration of The Dreaming of Norwich. Our findings will form part of the the Heart and Soul "chapter" of the Resilience Action Plan currently being compiled. If you would like to take part in this creative and original project do come along. |
