FIVE DAY NSV COURSE

The five day course is designed to call forth gulldsmen and guild leaders by grounding LENS grads, movement colleagues, and secular bodies in the NSV methodologies, reinforcing their vision of community and recontexting them as individuals in the new society. The construct is to include an orientation overview session on the course itself and sessions designed to provide methods and tools such as workshopping, "ridding, PSU's etc., for implementing the guild. The course takes all movement training and wisdom of the past twenty years and puts it into capsule form for dissemination over a five day period. It is an actual demonstration in training methologiesO Now is the time for this five day training construct because society is intensely conscious of the inadequacies or even collapse of many existing social structures. There is a resurgent spirit abroad. Local man wants to contribute significantly to the emerging future but is confounded by a lack of methodology and by discouragement and frustration. The product of this course will be a group of trained, selfconscious leaders, who, seeing the power and potential of the tools and methodologies, will be ready to function within a common model ( such as a guild) to mobilize the community and renew its institutions.

n cf the pressure and vision for each pressur

The second day involvee intensive work to bring the participants uptodate on the NSV research and methods. Two lectures cover the background theory and methodological flow of the documents being used in the course.

The second seminar atudioa the Tactical 8ystem and familiarizea the participunts with the global tactical components strategies and tactics. The third sesaion workshopa the forms for implimenting the tactica in the local com~unity.

The fltst session begins with a lecture grounding the NSV methods develop during the movement research aasembliea from 1970 thru 1972. The seminar covers the development of methods in greater detail and chart the proposal atyle form according to J.J.S.S.

~ depth ~

2. For method... See art expresses the spirit dimension transparence; we'll use art form conversation afterward to see and ex~erience this.

2. the next questions maybe could get out the roles the characters played and their functions.

3.is this show about what people are like, or is it about techniques of resurgence?

b.What kind of st~le is presented? Where did it work? where did the style shift to meet the need?

5.If you were goin~ to chan~e your community, what steps would you take( e.g., unbind a yolmg woman, unvei:l the main shvster,etc.)
