Earth First! Organizer's Conference


Canyons of wind-carved rocks filled with ancient voices call to earth warriors to gather for 2012 Earth First! Organizers Conference and Winter Rendezvous. Come explore Utah’s wild raw beauty that is under constant threat from the ever-hungry beast of progress! Join us for early spring in the desert, the breath between the departure of the snow and the blooming of the flowers to soak your bones in the ancient waters of Mystic Hot Springs. In the quiet between winter and spring we honor our past, examine the present, and create a vision for a wild and free future. The OC will have kickoff with the Night to Howl featuring Earth First!’s own Warrior Poets. The Organizers Conference, Thursday thru Saturday afternoon, is a meeting of earth warriors to strategize on how we most effectively create a world where the Earth is First! Then Saturday night, after three days of meetings, it’s time to stretch and play at Winter Rondy . It kicks off Saturday with fire and music (yes, that means you should bring your inspiration and instruments!) with Sunday and Monday filled with workshops, action planning, and ......


A few notes on the site: Mystic Hot Springs (mystichotsprings.com) is welcoming Earth First! with minimal compensation that includes work trade. For those of you who want to do something besides sit in meetings and go to workshops there will be a need for folks to care for the place we gather. If you are interested in being part of the work trade crew contact Stan at permipreacher@gmail.com volunteer on site. Also, everyone should bring a little extra cash for the magic hat to further support our host in his efforts to care for this magical site. Monroe, UT is a small, fairly conservative community that we should be mindful of. Please absolutely no shoplifting in the community and treat those you encounter with respect. Always remember, regardless of what you may think of their politics or beliefs we are guests in their home. It will in the low 20's to 30's at night and 40’s-60’s during to day. Dress appropriately and bring good bedding. A pad and/or ground cloth is particularly useful. For those in need there are a few rustic indoor sleeping places. Please contact us if you would like one of these and, if possible, be prepared to give a little extra for indoor digs.

Direct Action Training



















This workshop, presented by Cascadia Forest Defenders, takes you through the process of all that goes into a successful direct action. It will include a history of DA in the movement, the roles inside affinity groups, the use of consensus process, managing conflict and deescalating situations, soft blockading, and legal implications. This is an interactive workshop that encourages but doesn't require your participation in various DA role plays.
