Insurgent Elders Gathering (weekly)

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:58:08 -0400

Start: Jul 30 2010 - 3:30pm

End: Jul 30 2010 - 3:30pm

Friday afternoons at 3:30 at Coffee Catz, an informal gathering, usually outdoors, at least in good weather. There has been a different assortment of folks at each one, usually 4 to 5 of us. We encourage you to try it some week.

First person there asks at the counter for the “Insurgent Elders” sign to put on the chosen table area so others can find you. You might check the far back room if the weather’s cold or wet and choose some shade if it’s warm outside. It’s possible no one would show up, but it hasn’t happened yet!

West County Community Seed Bank

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:15:47 -0400

Start: Jul 31 2010 - 9:00am

End: Jul 31 2010 - 11:30am

West County Community Seed Bank meets monthly on the last Saturday of the month (except Nov. and Dec) from 9 -11:30 am to share seeds, plants, resources and local gardening and food information.

Our vision is to create a network of seed savers that build a repository of locally grown seed for Sonoma County gardeners. The seed is offered free to anyone who will use it, and the goal is to have it be an exchange where people take seed and they bring seed to share. In order to build the network of seed savers, we offer classes in seed saving and other food gardening skills.

The Community Seed Garden is a new project of the WCCSB, located at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Sebastopol. We are caretaking a 1/2 acre garden the main purpose of which is to grow seed for the seed bank. The seed garden allows us to grow more seed than many of our home gardens allow. The garden will be used as an educational tool to teach about the seed saving process.

Creating a local source of seed is an important part of creating a healthy and resilient local food system. Seed is the beginning of the food cycle.

Location:
St Stephen's Church
500 Robinson Way in Sebastopol

There is a garden work party from 9:00-10:30
Class from 10:30-11:30, and seeds available all the time.

Bring plants and seeds, questions and experience to share.
For more information contact Sara at 829-5234

All are welcome, including children!

TS Energy Workshop (Solar batch hotwater heater)

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:56:06 -0400

Start: Jul 31 2010 - 2:00pm

End: Jul 31 2010 - 5:00pm

The Transition Sebastopol Energy Group will host its second workshop on how to build a solar batch water heater.

The simple design is an insulated box with reflective interior and double pane (re-used) sliding glass door to heat the water in a steel tank salvaged from a used water heater core. The hot water can be used directly or can be used to preheat water feeding into a conventional water heater, allowing it to work more efficiently. This concept can be also used to make a solar oven. Come join us at Laguna Farm for this fun, hands-on workshop!

Learn an easy way to take simple materials and transform them into a practical appliance.
Build a solar water heater in a single afternoon with others.
Save money by heating or preheating your water with energy from the sun!

Space is limited, please RSVP early to:
scott@lagunafarm.com or call 707-823-0823

When: Saturday, July 31st, 2pm to 5pm
Where: Laguna Farm, 1764 Cooper Road, Sebastopol
Cost: Suggested Donation: $10
Bring: Work gloves, working clothes

TS Elders Salon

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:55:07 -0400

Start: Aug 26 2010 - 6:30pm

End: Aug 26 2010 - 6:30pm

A Wisdom Council Discussion Group of Transition Sebastopol

Calling All Elders, Earth Elders, Wannabe Elders, Soon-to-become Elders, or Interested Baby Boomers on up!  

The Elder Salon is a nonhierarchical circle of peers. We’ll introduce the discussion with some thoughts from an elder voice or thought-provoking instigator to kick off our own discovery of what it is WE think and believe about the topic; what WE want and need now and in our future; what WE think should be the course of action and attitudes as we progress into and through our older years

WHY: There are a lot of new ideas about aging, staying youthful in body and spirit, and our role in society and local life. What have our generational contributions been and what is left undone? What are our mistakes and triumphs?

If we don’t want others to determine what becomes of us in very old age, we need to be proactive and begin making conscious, thoughtful choices about our future, how we want to live and be regarded. What role do elders want to play in the coming changes; what wisdom can we offer?

Reminder to all: the Elders Salon is regular and ongoing.

When:
Fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

Location:
Sequoia Village Cohousing Common House
459 Sequoia Lane, Sebastopol —
(off Covert Lane, opposite Pacific Market (Fiesta) and west a little, before Pleasant Hill Rd.)
Please PARK ON THE STREET!
