On March 29th, 2011, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of sixty family farmers, seed businesses and organic agricultural organizations, challenging Monsanto’s patents on genetically modified crops. Join us for a dynamic, powerful and educational dialog with Jim Gerritsen, President of OSGATA, about the threats to organic farming, the lawsuit, and how all of us can participate in this movement to protect our rights to uncontaminated healthy food.

In Jim’s words: “Today is Independence Day for America.  Today we are seeking protection from the Court and putting Monsanto on notice.  Monsanto’s threats and abuse of family farmers stops here.  Monsanto’s genetic contamination of organic seed and organic crops ends now.  Americans have the right to choice in the marketplace – to decide what kind of food they will feed their families – and we are taking this action on their behalf to protect that right to choose.  Organic farmers have the right to raise our organic crops for our families and our customers on our farms without the threat of invasion by Monsanto’s genetic contamination and without harassment by a reckless polluter. Beginning today, America asserts her right to justice and pure food.”

Rod Birney, MD, as not an ordinary psychiatrist. He rarely prescribes psychiatric medications, and instead works with his patients using contemplative methods of self-inquiry and awareness. Deeply steeped in the Sufi mystical tradition, the world of Jungian dreamwork and archetypes, Tibetan meditation practices and many years of biodynamic gardening and herb cultivation inspired by the vision of the Medicine Buddha's garden, Dr. Birney brings a wealth of spiritual insights into the nature of the human mind and psyche to his students and patients.

Join us for a fascinating and enlightening exploration into the current condition of the collective consciousness, as Dr. Birney shares his illuminated teachings on such diverse topics as the psychopathic mindset of corporate and government leaders, the impact of imbalanced masculine and feminine archetypes expressed through social disturbances, the destructive polarities afflicting American culture, how global crises are impacting us as individuals, and how we can discover and embody our unique individual vision.

Join David Crow, Julie Mann and David King for an informative discussion about the challenges and benefits of creating one of the country's most successful school and community gardens, and how similar gardens can be created around the country.

Founded originally by Crow and Mann in 2001 and supported continuously by Garden Master King, The Learning Garden at Venice High School in Los Angeles is a model example of how school gardens can transform the lives of students and teachers and the environment of their community. For several years, many groups worked with the high school horticulture program to transform the 60,000 foot plot of land into a garden, but due to lack of stronger community support it remained mostly an eyesore filled with trash, overgrown with weeds, and a magnet for vandalism. Today, the agricultural plots are filled with organic food grown by the high school students. Health-related classes such as tai chi, qigong, and natural food cooking are offered on its large stone patio. The garden has a large medicinal plant section for educational purposes, a pond with a water garden and waterfall, and a California native plant and cacti garden. A community garden is tended by local volunteers, and numerous groups and organizations use and support the garden.

The Learning Garden is much more than a garden. For the students of the high school it is an opportunity to be closer to nature, a place to learn about respecting the environment and taking care of plants and animals. For the teachers it is a place of solace. For the community it is a place of visual beauty. For those who have dedicated thousands of hours to making the inspiration of the garden a reality, it is a joyful and fulfilling accomplishment. For all who come, whether to a single event or as a regular volunteer, The Learning Garden is a remarkable and unique place that touches something deep in the heart and soul.

Inflammation is part of the body’s ability to protect and heal us from pathogens, injuries, irritants, damaged cells and more.

Have you ever noticed how some people's skin simply glows with youthful radiance?  Just as we bring nourishment to our bodies through food, so our skin absorbs the nutrients (and toxins) we feed it.  Our largest organ is also intricately connected to our other organs and systems, and is not only an indicator of our overall internal wellbeing, but also a source and channel to optimal vitality.

In this class we will explore botanicals with a particular affinity for the skin and learn how to restore it to luminous health with the help of skin-loving essential and fatty oils.  Do-at-home formulations, application techniques and rituals of self-care will be shared, along with self-empowerment (i.e. read the label!), diet, and spiritual nourishment as vital catalysts to superior health, and therefore, beauty.  Finally, we will use oils to practice facial rejuvenation in the tradition of Chinese face reading and facial microsystems, employing acupressure points to stimulate meridians and simultaneously promote both internal and external health.
