Ground Up!

~~~Fullness~~~~
by Tahz Walker

Within the long hot days,
And the cool
Dips into night

Sanctified and naïve brush strokes
And the remembrance of summer

In its wildness and wonder

In the saltiness of work with the earth
And laughter at the shared hands
And shared sweat

Fly' s that light our way as the sun sinks
Down

Squawks as the star rises

Meeting I meet you in a mid day slumber

Lunch with Henry Louis Gates

posted by Claudia Horwitz, July 21, 2009

I know Henry Louis Gates did not deserve the abuse and assumptions that greeted him on his doorstep. I know that Gates’ work will only be strengthened by this “regrettable” incident.” And I know Gates showed the Cambridge cop his ID during his arrest and harassment this week. I know because he showed it to me once, over 15 years ago, without my even asking.

Transformational Leadership Awards

 

Jesse and I were awarded one of six "Transformational Leadership Awards" by the Seasons Fund for Social Transformation. The Seasons Fund chose to honor six leadership teams who are defining this emerging field of social transformation and developing new models of leadership itself. Each team received $30,000.
 
 
 
We are excited to share this honor with 5 other groups, some of whom are long-time friends and collaborators:

first market

For the first time today, we harvested and sold produce from the garden. $130 worth of arugala, mustard green mix, kale, radishes, spring onions, and eggs.. Very exciting.

Tahz and new stone circles' staff, Cristina Chapman, wash lettuce...

...and we are open for bizness!

A happy customer.

 

March SOUL Sanctuary

The March SOUL Sanctuary group enjoyed a tremendous connection - lots of laughter and time for quiet, great food and a lot of good rest.

nature awareness

Maeve Gavin from the Wilderness Awareness School joined us to lead a daylong workshop on Nature Awareness and Survival Skills. She began the day by making fire with no match. And then taught us all how to do it...with one match...
