Please join Transition Sebastopol for our screening of the film DIVE!- a humorous and informative about food waste in America.

About the Movie:
"Inspirired by a curiosity about our country's careless habit of sending food straight to the landfill, the multi-award winning documentary DIVE! followsJeremy Selfert and his friends as they dumpster dive in the back alleys, and gated garbage recepicals of LA's supermarkets. In the process they salvage thousands of dollars worth of good, edible food- resulting in an inspiring documentary that is equal parts entertainment, guerilla journalism, and a call to action."

Dive! Trailer.

Please stay with us after the movie, and lend your voice to our lively and interesting discussion directly following the movie.
See you there!

When: Friday afternoons, 3:30 p.m.
Where: Coffee Catz, 6761 Sebastopol Avenue, Sebastopol

Drop in—arrival and departure times are loose.

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!

Save the date! 9/11 Special Meditation Program

9/11 marks the anniversary of a tragic and terrifying event. Let it now be an opportunity and reminder for us to go within. We will spend the afternoon in meditations for strengthening our inner ability to meet the craziness of the world with renewed presence, forgiveness and love. In this way, we truly build in ourselves an ability to meet the challenges and chaos of the world around us, as well as experience more joy. In this way, we feel the tangible effects of the real resilience that we need to live in these times.  

Sebastopol location TBA
