Events

Transition Sebastopol and the Sebastopol Grange proudly present the film  Genetic Roulette.

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!

When: Friday afternoons, 3:30 - 6:00 p.m.

Where: Coffee Catz, 6761 Sebastopol Avenue, Sebastopol

Friday afternoons at 3:30 at Coffee Catz. Our informal gathering is usually indoors now, in the back room when we can get it. Our numbers have grown and we can hear one another better inside, though a hot day may put us back outdoors. We encourage you to try it some week.

Drop in-arrival and departure times are loose. We no longer use a sign to identify ourselves, so if you see a gathering of gray heads, just inquire.

YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN IN CO-CREATING COMMUNITY …
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.

• Meets twice a month, no fees charged
• Learn together
• Form bonds that make community resilience a living thing
• Focus is more upon growth than on psychological issues

Facilitated by Sandra “Sandy” Scotchler and David “Lucky” 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. —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 – 9 pm.
at the Sequoia Village Commonhouse
(459 Sequoia Lane, just two driveways east of Pleasant Hill, off Covert).

Please park on the street.
