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

Thursday September 22, 2011
Start: Sep 22 2011 6:30 pm
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?

Wednesday September 28, 2011
Start: Sep 28 2011 7:00 pm
When: Wednesday, September 28, 7- 9 p.m.
Please join Transition Sebastopol for our screening of the film DIVE!- a humorous and informative about food waste in America. (this film was originally slated to be shown last month, but was postponed due to technical difficulties.)
Joining us for our discussion following the movie will be Paul Kaiser- local food activist and director/farmer at Singing Frogs Farm, Jaques Ropert of the Dumpster Dive Network, and a rep from the Redwood Empire Food Bank. All of these community members are actively involved in local food security on a grassroots level. We hope you come to add your voice, and find out how YOU can plug in to our efforts to relocalize!
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."
Please stay with us after the movie, and lend your voice to our lively and interesting discussion directly following the movie.
See you there!
