We are pleased to announce the follow up to our "Love in Action" event, which is a new and exciting group for creating our alternative economy and real ongoing mutual support for us in building resilience. Though we are focusing on the simple gift circle to begin with, the idea is to allow the gift circle idea to include ways of creating a "Resilience Network". This means that this regular meeting will be a place where we can offer what skills we have to share, what we are doing to make ourselves more healthy and happy, emergency preparedness support, gardening and food help, energy sourcing, music and art sharing, and heck, who knows, maybe even barn raising! This group will be what you make it. We are beginning the group this next Monday, March 26th. We plan to do this on a regular basis and invite folks to step in to facilitate as well. There is a new google group list for this, where you can post needs and wants between gatherings as well. or for more info you can send an email to: resilientliving@googlegroups.com At the circle we will introduce the basic format and guidelines and then dive in! This will be a fully participatory evening, so consider what you might want to give and receive. We will also be basing future dates and frequency of our meeting on the desire of the group, but every other monday looks like a good place to start. This room does cost us to rent, so we will be soliciting a nominal fee based on what feels right to you. Your Intiating Hosts: Julia Bystrova

Please join Transition Sebastopol for the screening of Renewal hosted by Heart and Soul at the French Garden Restaurant, March 28th at 7 pm. "RENEWAL is the first feature-length documentary film to capture the vitality and diversity of today's religious-environmental activists. From within their Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and Muslim traditions, Americans are becoming caretakers of the Earth. With great courage, these women, men and children are re-examining what it means to be human and how we live on this planet. Their stories of combating global warming and the devastation of mountaintop removal, of promoting food security, environmental justice, recycling, land preservation, and of teaching love and respect for life on Earth are the heart of RENEWAL." "The religious environmental movement is potentially key to dealing with the greatest problem humans have ever faced, and it has never been captured with more breadth and force than in RENEWAL. I hope this movie is screened in church basements and synagogue social halls across the country, and that it moves many more people of faith off the fence and into action".—Bill McKibben Please stay with us for the conversation following the film. We will have representatives from different local faith-based communities telling us about the good work they are doing for our planet. Our conversations are fun and lively, and this one should should be great! WHEN: Wednesday March 28 at 7:00 pm Looking Forward to seeing you there!
