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.

Sharing our hearts around the community fire
| 25
Start: Sep 25 2010 9:00 am
End: Sep 25 2010 11:30 am
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.
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. There is a garden work party from 9:00-10:30 Bring plants and seeds, questions and experience to share. Also check out the seed bank blog at westcountyseedbank.blogspot.com All are welcome, including children! |
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.
