This is my friend and long time inspiration/hero to many, Julia Butterfly @juliabutterflyhill. On January 12th 2016 I will be hosting a webinar for her workshop called "A Course in Courage- Living a Life of Purpose, Passion and Power" from 5-7pm PST. Sliding scale 25-35$. Please write to: [email protected] if you would like to be a part of it and to secure your spot. We will be capping it at 20 people. Julia Butterfly is most famous for having sat in a tree in Northern California for 738 days in order to prevent the clear cutting of the old growth trees. She is a hero. She is an inspiration. No one has ever sat even close to as long as she has- which makes for a world record. I remember studying her in high school as a young budding activist. I remember watching the Simpsons episode about her. This woman changed history. This woman has worked so hard to protect this Earth for all of us. I am beyond thrilled to be of service and help bring her wisdom to the world!!! Have you felt like you want to be contributing more to the world? To find YOUR unique way of giving back, and thus feeling more fulfilled at the end of the day? Join us January 12th 5-7pm PST from everywhere/anywhere in the world. Sliding scape 25-35$. All funds go directly to Julia to further her life, her work and her contributions to us all. #juliabutterfly #workshop #webinar #worldwide #juliahill #acourseincourage #activism #treesit #environmentalism #livingalifeofpassion
