JUNE 28TH 1-3 pm
PHILLIP STERNS - WORKSHOP
“Simplified Gardening: Against Biotech Agribusiness”
Food is as necessary as air and water for the maintaining of the body, the house of the soul. As times have progressed, we have become further separated from the source of our food, and it has become increasingly processed in order to keep up with demands of peoples living a life that is faster paced than ever. There was a time when we had an intimate relationship with the land. It is not difficult to see how that relationship has changed when we read the ingredients on the back of a microwave dinner. We have alienated ourselves from nature’s way in order to pursue our own desires by exchanging our faith in the ability of nature to adequately provide for a dependence on the fruits of intellect and reason to dominate and control. You can see the true nature of a civilization by the way in which it feeds its people. It is food and its acquisition, or production, after all, which lies at its very foundation.
In “Simplified Gardening: Against Biotech Agribusiness” we’ll take 3 hours to examine and discuss topics as broad as the source of life and as specific as the ingredients in the world’s most popular herbicides, all starting from the basic principles behind “Do Nothing Farming” developed by Masanobu Fukuoka, author of “The One-Straw Revolution”. From there, we’ll look into some common methods of growing on smaller plots of land and in containers, and study traditional methods of pest and weed control via companion planting. After which we will examine some of the modern techniques of cultivation. All the usual boring lecture techniques, i.e. slide show, movie clips, and Q and A sessions will be present, but when it’s all over, your head will be filled with a strong foundation of knowledge to being a lifelong practice in natural gardening.

JUNE 28TH: 4 - 5:30 pm
Theta - Sound Healing Workshop
such positive experience: don’t miss this INTERACTIVE session!
Alpha - Lucid dreaming while awake similar to “Daydreaming”
Beta - Everyday activity, media airwaves etc., can be toxic to maintain holistic health
Theta - An inner / intuitive state, prior to sleeping or when invoked
Delta - Deep restful sleep
Gamma - Conscious cosmic soup - a general “social psychology” we’re all tapped into
The Theta Sound Healing Workshop consists of primordial vocals and instruments that naturally place the human brain into a theta like patterning. These instruments include East Indian electric Tambura, Australian Aborigines didgeridoo, and Tibetan singing bowls. Once heard, the listener automatically begins to relax, the brain becomes calm, as the essence of the total being of the listener is replenished.
As instruments are played and at various moments during the session Toni Pope will offer and provide primordial vocals. Primordial vocals include throat-singing/harmonic singing, micro-tonation, and multi-phonetical voicings - i.e. producing multiple tones simultaneously. Toni is a voice and sound practitioner who carries a unique ability to channel sacred dimensions of sound using her voice and theta sounding instruments.
During the course of the session intuitive concepts of voice and sound instruction will be given, as well as the opportunity to utilize the voice as a sacred sounding instrument. Concepts such as toning, harmonic singing, deep inner listening, and concsious breath work will be discussed and practiced. The benefits of this workshop vocal inhibition, voice placement , tone placement, toning, and tone isolation/multi-
phonetical singing

this is the process of making the human mark into the earth, but it is proper to exist in balance. this is not only a metaphor, but the beauty of it is that it extends, as the curl of a new tendril, out to the farthest and ultimate cyclic now. so this is important to know about, to explore, to ponder, to look at from different directions, to head in new directions, to put things into perspective and enjoy the work necessary to cultivate.
in our current urban living, we must find ways to reconnect with the elemental, in our bodies, our work, our food, with our fellow living beings, and our metaphysical and critical aspects. this begins with the child as artist: making things through a state of wonder, but now is the time to cultivate that human urge to create / make art in all forms : and know that this is our world too, and we are part of it.
it is also the cult of culture. it is the bravery of us to say that we can make our own culture, our own symbolic way or description or names for sacred or release or regeneration. it is the right of people to have rituals that nourish and speak with language they have had a hand in forming. it is different than before because it is now. that’s all.
cultivation is mostly about absorbing and emitting energy. to behave with wisdom in our daily lives.
this evening / event / re-opened warehouse warming
is to foster.
it is about people, celebrating and mourning,
powerful forces of will and belief, knowing that there will be that one good spot
and all the work will be worth it.
and these will go in cycles
constantly.
