YOU&rsquo\;RE INVITED TO JOIN IN CO-CREATING COMMUNITY &hellip\;
The world is changing. Any move that responds to the changing conditions of a world in transition calls for
a similar internal shift. People who are committed to Transition are of necessity making this kind of shift. Sustainability \;depends upon it. Being in the vanguard means learning new ways of being together. We need to try \;things out to develop the internal skills that accompany these colossal changes.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE is an organic form of growth. It requires the hearts and minds of the most committed \;to create a new response to the challenges we face. This will be a facilitated learning community with the \;intention of discovering the forms of consciousness that best serve our times\, allowing us to become more \;effective.
&bull\; Meets twice a month\, no fees charged
&bull\; Learn together
&bull\; Form bonds that make community resilience a living thing
&bull\; Focus is more upon growth than on psychological issues
Facilitated by Sandra &ldquo\;Sandy&rdquo\; Scotchler and David &ldquo\;Lucky&rdquo\; Goff for the Transition Sebastopol Community
About the Facilitators\:
In 2003 Lucky Goff\, Ph.D.\, M.F.T.\, had a brain aneurism. \;As a result of his stroke and the onset of a rare brain syndrome\, \;he nearly died and ended up permanently disabled. \;This experience had a transformational effect on David\, \;which cued him into how radically connected all things \;are.
Sandy Scotchler M.F.T. &mdash\;Drawn to the healing arts \;from childhood\, she has learned to walk the path of a \;wounded healer. Becoming an elder at this time calls her
to join with others who care deeply about the earth and \;want to ollaborate in bringing the needed transformation.
Becoming Change\, beginning June 12\, \;will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evenings of each month from 7 &ndash\; 9 pm.

![\\"\\"](\\"http\://transitionsebastopol.org/sites/default/files/Elders%20Salon.jpg\\")
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?

Please join us for a potluck and a free movie Friday\, October 19th at 6\:30 at the Sebastopol Grange.
Following the film we will have a discussion with folks from labelgmos.org and several local food sovereignty activists. \;Find out what is happening to our food system\, and what you can do to save it!
About the Movie\:
When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply\, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.
After two decades\, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals\, livestock\, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs)\, their health improves.
Watch the trailer\:
\;
This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans\, especially among children\, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.
When\:
Friday October 19th at 6\:30\, movie at 7\:15
Where\:
Sebastopol Grange
6000 Sebastopol Rd (Hwy 12) \;
Please come and stay for the lively and fun discussion afterward! \;We look forward to seeing you there!
