Copper to Gold is a course designed to explore and address the unconscious manifestations of superiority that Shoghi Effendi referred to in The Advent of Divine Justice. \n\n\n\nCopper to Gold is a learning space that invites participants into a process of self reflection that frankly and honestly examines unconscious assumptions\, inherited patterns of thought\, and subtle senses of superiority that can exist within us. The course approaches each individual as a noble soul\, capable of growth\, humility\, and transformation. \n\n\n\nThis can be especially helpful for those on the frontiers of learning as they engage in the community building process. Together\, the groups will explore insights\, share experiences\, and consider how these can be incorporated into meaningful action in our personal lives\, communities\, institutions\, and all fields of service. \n\n\n\nThe course is limited to 30 participants. It will take place over eight weeks of online sessions\, creating a consistent space for collective learning and trust-building. The online sessions will begin the week of April 26th. The program will culminate in an in-person gathering at Green Acre July 9-12 where the final sessions will be completed and next steps considered. Scholarships for the stay at Green Acre are available if needed. \n\n\n\nTo register your interest in participating\, please use this link and enter Green Acre under “Name of Your Group”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is an opportunity not only to learn\, but to walk alongside others\, manifesting the spirit of the oneness of humanity. Feel free to invite your friends from the wider community. Additional information about Copper to Gold can be found at coppertogold.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is organized by Cooper to Gold and sponsored by the Regional Baha’i Council of the Northeastern States. \n\n\n\n— URL:https://www.greenacre.org/event/copper-to-gold/ CATEGORIES:Community Building,Dialogue,Pupil of the Eye,Race Relations,Race Unity,Social Discourse,Social Transformation,Transformation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.greenacre.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Copper-to-Gold-banner.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260819T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260823T123000 DTSTAMP:20260605T125324 CREATED:20260226T141327Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260227T215006Z UID:10000267-1787151600-1787488200@www.greenacre.org SUMMARY:Family Program 2 | August Summer School 2026 DESCRIPTION:Summer School | Family Program 2 will be held August 19 – 23. \n\n\n\nThis year’s program is designed to assist families make a unique contribution to the community building process developing at the local level.
