'Small Island Gathering' Ideas
are evolving for a follow-on Gathering to the 'Small Island Gathering', an
international event held in the Atherton Tablelands Australia during 1994
(refer previous page). This second Gathering, resonant with the UN 'Year of
the Oceans', may be in preparation for a proposed United Nations General
Assembly session on 'Small Island Developing States' in 1999 or 2000. Size
10k. The Small Island Gathering This is a report of a 1992 Gathering in Far North
Queensland Australia about establishing therapeutic community among indigenous
people. Many learnings are shared. All is not as it first seems. While set up
as a healing sharing, all manner of cross-cultural and intra-cultural
conflicts, misunderstandings and 'sticky mess' quickly engulf everyone. Mob
psychology, crowd manipulation, stampeding, power plays and
dominant/dominated cultural ruptures abound. And in all of this goo there are
magic moments and scope for potent understandings about intercultural
healing. Size 192k. Back
