Friday afternoons at 3:30 at Coffee Catz, an informal gathering, usually outdoors, weather permitting. 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.

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!

Elders Salon

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 00:20:32 -0400

Start: May 24 2012 - 6:30pm

End: May 24 2012 - 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?

Reminder to all: the Elders Salon is regular and ongoing on the fourth Thursday of each month.

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!

For 14 years over 350 families had cultivated this farm, feeding themselves and thousands in their community local organic food. When the city sells it in a closed-door meeting, activists celebreties stage an 11th hour tree sit to save the farm. As the five- year anniversary of the eviction approaches, director MIchael Kuehnert demonstrates how a local community can come together to save a farm that they have come to depend on for their survival."
