I’ll be out of town until June 1st, but, trust me, we have an agenda.

Learn key acupressure points you can activate any time anywhere to help you relax and enjoy your day! Tatyana will teach and lead the class through simple, gentle self-massage techniques that activate, access and move meridian energy in our bodies to help promote wellness, ease and vitality.  These techniques are used worldwide and commonly taught when you study Qi Gong or any form of martial art.  This class is appropriate for everyone.

Please wear comfortable, loose clothing. Thank you!

Class is free. Donations much appreciated!

A profoundly hopeful, uplifting and energizing film, all helps us to understand the fundamentals of money – and how it got this way –  and how we can reclaim our lives from the rule of money.

Keep in touch as we develop partnerships with other local organizations and ask them to kick off audience discussion afterwards.

This film is being distributed in the spirit of the gift and you can watch it online here for a donation of your choice: http://moneyandlifemovie.com/

Watch this space…

We will be working on a couple of small paths, moving earth and planting.

Bring gloves and hand tools. We’ll plant, complete the “wall” of tree trunks between the garden and the lawn, and hang out to dream of what comes next.

Following that  (around 3:30 pm), we will discuss the possibility of establishing a local organic bulk food buying club specifically to avoid expense and packaging. We have the offer of an Albany site. We just need to find out whether enough of us are interested in the same products! If you can’t come Sunday, watch this space for a list of potential items.

Please spread the word amongst people who may be interested, Many of us (including me) feel a fierce loyalty to our local natural grocery stores, but the intention here is to reduce our cost buy buying items in bulk that are not available in bulk locally.
