How are you feeling about the state of things?
What do you think is coming with planetary and economic changes, and how does it make you feel?
Many people are feeling that things are in a challenging place, and that it may get more challenging. Some people are feeling a hard pinch right now. Sometimes we just need to talk about it with each other and be heard. It can be healing to express how you are feeling. And....it can help to explore with others what you can do about it.
On Monday, January 25 the Transition Sebastopol Heart & Soul group is holding a Fishbowl event where you can do just that.
This month we want to give voice to the GROUP WISDOM. Anyone who wants to share their beliefs, concerns or thoughts about Transition challenges and how to translate these challenges into opportunities will be given space to do so. We'll be using a new format where we'll all get the benefit of one another's great ideas. We know you are wise souls with good hearts and we want you all to come and share your inspirations. We’ll provide some questions to get it started.
We will also have our chance to make announcements and to ask for help or offer resources -- the Needs & Shares section we've done all along.
See you there:

Synopsis
FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.
Among several main characters, FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.
Total running time: 72 minutes
Production year: 2009
You are invited to the second Transition Sebastopol "Spotlight" happy hour mixer––
Thursday, February 18, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
Pizzavino707, (the old "Lucy's" and "West County" restaurant location just off the town square)
We will be gathering in the upstairs area near the entrance.
Please feel free to drop in, have a glass of wine (or two) and chat with other people interested in Transition.
At each mixer we will feature a brief presentation from someone or some group in our community who is doing important work related to Transition. For this mixer our special guest is Paula Shatkin from Slow Food Russian River who will talk about some of the great things the Slow Food movement is doing in our area. We will also hear from Portia Sinnott from Lite Initiatives with some news related to Transition Sebastopol. The guest appearances will happen around 6:15-6:30 pm.
We hope to see you there.
