Description
SAGE is a community for all folks who love and care for our planet. Our monthly gatherings are a space to nourish each other, so that we can nourish our world.
Join us for an evening of delicious food, hearty discussion and new skills. The night will start with a shared meal, then we will move into community announcements, then into open space workshops, with lots of space for social breaks throughout.
This month’s SAGE will focus on the anti-war movement in this country. We’ll hear from & about people who are fighting militarism and imperialism – from opposing the AUKUS submarine pact, to calling for the closure of intelligence facilities and weapons companies, to protesting Australia’s alignment with US-led wars. We’ll also learn about ways to get involved.
We’re inviting speakers (to be announced soon) but we also welcome workshop/discussion ideas about the theme from everyone in the community – no need to message us, just turn up with your idea!
If you’ve got a mate who could run a good workshop on this theme, call them up & invite them.
Plus, as always, anyone can bring workshop or discussion ideas that are completely unrelated to the theme :)

Some other things you might want to bring… 🍲 A plate of food to share for the potluck dinner 🫒 Veggies or seedlings for the produce swap 🧵 Something to mend at the mending corner 🌟 Energy to help shape the new space and make it our own!!
Run through of how the night will (roughly) go… 4:30-5:15pm: Arriving, Sharing food. 5:15-5:45pm: Welcome, Community Announcements. 5:45-7:45pm: Open Space Workshop Sessions (including a break for tea/chats). 7:45-8.00pm: Closing Circle.
All welcome. Come anytime that suits you.
SAGE will now be held at YouthInc, an alternative school for 18-25 yr olds in a cool converted church on Pulteney St. We’re keen to build a mutual relationship with the generous YouthInc crew and help make the space our own for the long haul.
Of course, SAGE is still (& will always be) for all ages. Young or old, parent or pensioner, first-timer or seasoned activist - everyone is welcome.
See you there!
