HI there,
This is Rita Cummins, writing to Chris (I think). For whatever reason, I
am receiving a copy of each and every email response that is being send to
jubileetroupe at lists.mutualaid.org. I really should not be receiving them,
I have no reason to receive them, and I would greatly appreciate it if
someone could figure out why this is happening so you can fix it. I am
concerned that the message might not be getting to their proper and final
destination.
Blessings!
Please unsubscribe me from this list.
Thanks!
Kelly Burk

>Dear friends and family of the Jubilee,
>
>Exactly one week has passed since the Jubilee Troupe's Moving Stories,
>Healing Stories retreat weekend. It was an intense weekend by all
>accounts and a welcomed meeting of both new and old friends. Sixteen of
>us gathered for the weekend, with ages ranging from 14 months to over
>seventy years! Five more friends also joined us for the opening night's
>Healing Stories playback theater performance.
>
>Highlights of the weekend included story-sharing and group listening
>techniques, playing with lively InterPlay babbling, singing and moving
>forms, a rousing group sing and jam time and an intense Sunday morning
>story-sharing worship circle. And if even if you didn't get to join us
>in person, we welcomed you -- the wider body of the Jubilee -- in spirit.
>
>And we -- troupe advisors and members in attendance -- decided on a few
>BIG CHANGES that should know about:
>
>1.) We decided to formally disband the Jubilee Troupe as such. The
>reality of a traveling group (whose members were in California,
>Tennessee, Pennsylvania and DC) is not feasible or sustainable.
>Furthermore, my own leadership is drawn first to my family right now,
>then to local work and finally to anything bigger and more logistically
>ambitious;
>
>2.) The consensus among all troupe members was the need to work and play
>more locally right now. There was still a perceived need for sharing
>with each other the fruits of our work and cross-fertilizing that in a
>wider network;
>
>3.) We decided to try to meet next fall, perhaps in conjunction with A
>Place Apart, and to see where we are as a movement at that time;
>
>4.) We decided to formalize a loosely-knit network with the name
>"Jubilee Arts" that would serve to connect and cross-fertilize a wider
>membership of artists, seekers and activists eager to explore the
>liberating arts, especially though not exclusively out of a peace church
>context. This network would be primarily made up of a LISTSERV (this
>list) and a WEBSITE: www.jubileearts.net (not yet online).
>
>5.) THIS LISTSERV as it was started, was originally for announcements
>from the Jubilee Troupe. Rather than start an entirely new list and
>kick this one into the e-dustbin, I have made an executive operational
>decision to OFFICIALLY CHANGE THIS LIST TO A DISCUSSION FORMAT, open for
>all subscribers to post, send announcements, share ideas, ask questions
>and solicit feedback on the topic of "liberating arts."
>
>I INVITE YOU TO STAY and at the same time, i understand that many of us
>are over-e-loaded and can't take any more in their inbox. So please
>feel free to unsubscribe with the directions below. You can also always
>unsubscribe at a later point when it actually gets to be too much.
>
>6.) FINALLY, we welcome your assistance with this transition, especially
>you tech and web-savvy Jubilee friends -- finding new ecumenical and
>arts-oriented sponsors, sharing ideas on what could be next, finding
>appropriate web hosting and helping to build a simple new website. OR
>just stay tuned for updates on the transition and ways to connect to
>others in this network.
>
>Feel free to respond directly to me or to the entire list if your ideas
>concern us all. I look forward to the widening of this movement for
>embodied liberation!
>
>peace now,
