The movie\:
Produced by Morgan Spurlock and directed by Rob VanAlkemade\, this docu-comedy follows our trials and triumphs across the country as we preach and sing to help holiday-abused Americans find a new Christmas without products.

The film takes the viewer into the homes of families as they max our their credit cards to live up to the Consumer Ideal of Christmas\, while also telling personal stories from those who remember the holidays as a simpler\, less commercial\, and more joyful time. Interviews with labor rights experts\, historians\, and spiritual leaders reveal how the consumerization of the holiday season over time taught Americans they can only show love for their children by purchasing toys made by other children in overseas sweatshops.

This film has played throughout the US\, bringing Fair Trade activists and Evangelical Christians together in darkened movie theaters\, emerging with new tools to BUY LESS and GIVE MORE!

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&rsquo\;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&rsquo\;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.

When\:
Fourth Thursday of each month at 6\:30 p.m.

Location\:
Sequoia Village Cohousing Common House
459 Sequoia Lane\, Sebastopol &mdash\;
(off Covert Lane\, opposite Pacific Market (Fiesta) and west a little\, before Pleasant Hill Rd.)
Please PARK ON THE STREET!

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.

\\"\\"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.

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.
 \;
Location\:
St Stephen's Church
500 Robinson Way in Sebastopol

There is a garden work party from 9\:00-10\:30
Class from 10\:30-11\:30\, and seeds available all the time. \;

Bring plants and seeds\, questions and experience to share.
For more information contact Sara at 829-5234

All are welcome\, including children!
