heart&soul
We will be gathering again (yay!) to further the agenda of Transition Sebastopol Heart and Soul group--namely to facilitate and generate ways to support each other in our inner journeys as we travel these times of change.
We were inspired to see so many wonderful souls gather at our initial meeting and we would now like to continue the conversation started. In this next meeting, we will deepen the connections and discussions
around what it can look like to really show up for each other in this way.
This gathering will be simple and sweet, no frills. Just time together getting to the heart of what we want to see blossom and nourish our deeper selves. The gathering will be structured to facilitate this.
We will be asking the questions of what each of us is seeking and what each of us has to offer in relation to the care and feeding of our hearts and our souls.
There will be an opportunity for you to ask for support and There will be an opportunity to offer your resources as well.
We will be spending a good part of the time really sharing and connecting with each other deeply, in smaller “heart-circle” groups.
You will also have the option to have these needs/resources added to a list that we will be creating to distribute to the larger community.
Donations will be accepted to cover the cost of the space. We would appreciate rsvp's to get a sense of the head count, (but last minute decisions to come are ok)
See you there!

This screening was scheduled for September 30th, but due to a scheduling conflict, we need to postpone this month's movie night to October! Sorry for any inconvenience and we hope to see you at our September 24th event with Vicki Robin!
Come join us at our next Transition Sebastopol Movie Night or the debut of the documentary film about the Transition movement at the French Garden Restaurant!
About the Movie:
In the film you will see the stories of communities creating their own currencies, setting up their own pubs, planting trees, growing food. You’ll see local authorities getting behind their local Transition initiatives, and get a sense of the scale of this emerging movement. It is a story of hope, and it is a call to action.
The film is the work of director Emma Goude, with production by Smith and Watson, and with input from Transition communities around the world.

West County Community Seed Bank
Vision:
To create a grassroots community seed bank that supports Sonoma County gardeners with locally grown, open pollinated, pesticide and GMO free seeds. Anyone can become a member of the West County Seed Library, we ask for a donation of $5.00-$20.00 and a commitment to grow out and donate back seed following the library's protocol for growing clean seeds. No on is turned away for lack of funds. The West County Seed Library will be housed at the Salmon Creek School Garden and will be open to the public monthly for classes, resource sharing and a seed and plant exchange. The West County Seed Library will have resources available to members on growing and processing seeds.
Why save seed and why a local seed bank?
Our rapidly changing world gives us all the more reason to strengthen our local resources and our ability to be self-sufficient. Local seed saving allows us to cultivate plants that do well in our region, with each generation adapting more to the local environment. It also lets us preserve heirloom seeds that are being lost as the seed industry is being concentrated into fewer and fewer large corporations. Seed banks are a great investment; with some plants one seed can return up to 40.000. The abundance seed savers experience should be shared with the community and helps to model a different economic system. We hope to cultivate a network of seed savers in the region to support each other and the seed library, which will be a resource for the expanding community of gardeners and help strengthen our local food system.

Start: Nov 9 2009 7:00 pm
Time is running out. With each year that passes, our ability to prevent catastrophic climate change diminishes. Voluntary action is great, but we really need a mandatory economy-wide system. Cap and Share is a framework for reducing greenhouse gases fairly, and returning profits back to people if prices go up. You actually get paid as we all reduce emissions, and it’s based on democratic principles: One person – One share. In 1 hour, we’ll discuss the carbon market in California’s AB32 law, the right and wrong way to do cap and trade, the pending bill in Congress, what could happen at the international climate talks in Copenhagen, and how you can get involved.
Mike Sandler is a former Sebastopol resident and a co-founder of the Climate Protection Campaign in Sonoma County. He putting on this presentation and discussion in the run-up to Copenhagen.
