Interhelp Newsletter, Fall 2009




Dear Interhelpers and Friends,

The beauties of autumn are upon us. What a blessed time of year. This 
weekend I am alternating putting the garden to bed for the winter 
with preparations for next month's annual Interhelp Gathering.


  If you've participated in Gatherings before, come back again and 
help us cocreate this year's unique community. If you haven't 
attended before, we invite and welcome your presence.


The Gathering, held at Woolman Hill in Deerfield, MA, begins at 
suppertime on Friday, November 13 and finishes up after lunch on 
Sunday. During the day on Saturday we will create a profound and 
simple ritual known as the Council of All Beings. On Saturday evening 
we will relax and play together.


Scholarship help is available. For complete information and 
registration form, please go to www.interhelpnetwork.org.


You are also invited to a Work that Reconnects workshop on October 31 
in Brookline, MA called For the Earth. Led by Joyce Reeves and Diane 
Reiner, it will take place at First Parish on Walnut Street from 9:30 
until 4:30. For more info, contact Joyce at 2rejoyce@earthlink.net.


Feel free to send me an email message if you have questions about 
Gathering. Submissions to this newsletter are always welcome. 
Deadline for the next issue is December 30. I'd love to hear from you!

Blessings to all,


Paula Hendrick

Literacy, available online at

As usual, Joanna Macy's latest letter (dated August 24) on her 
website ( www.joannamacy.net ) is packed with interesting reading. 
She describes exercises that evolved during an intensive earlier in 
the summer in CA. Joanna also includes quotations from A Year with 
Rilke, her latest collaboration with Anita Barrows, release date
