Nice, informal group. The guest speaker was enormously knowledgeable and well-organized. A LOT of information to absorb. But, very logically presented. Wish we had a little more time for Q&A. But, otherwise a treat and a good starting point for further exploration on our own.

It was a lovely event with mud balls, hands-on planting , seed art, displays, info from 596 Acres who are making more garden spaces available and Hudson Valley Seed Library seeds. Jude Hobbs gave an amazing talk on seeds and seed saving. There must have been many events on Saturday and next year we will pick a different weekend date - not Earth Day.

The Learning Garden is a charming water catchment system in a public park. A diverse group of bright, thoughtful people attended. The weather was a bit chilly.

Greg was a good leader, the vibe was cooperative and not too intense and the site has potential of becoming a magnet for community activity.

IT is SO inspiring to see people of African American ancestry reclaiming liberty in growing their own food. I am thrilled to know how much is happening that is positive, and to know that one of the speakers is aware of Weston A Price's solid and undistorted research. I was glad too that the issues of the need for healing of trauma, of emotional shift, and of addressing of corruption in government were raised, along with the issue of focusing on solution rather than "why we can't move forward" The discussion lost energy when it began to focus on "how do we get information out to people"--returning to a mechanistic model of change that no longer functions. Organizing the discussion with deliberate focus on one kind of thinking at a time (feeling, facts, what's right, what's wrong, alternatives, and meta-thinking -- de Bono) would have made the use of the time 10x more effective. Or total focus on shjifting the vibrational basis of our situation. Glad I came.

I enjoyed soaking up the valuable information. Andrew has a wealth of knowledge on designing a future that works for everyone AND our precious planet. I will keep my eye out for more of his lectures.

It was well worth attending and staying to the end. There is so much to learn from Cecil Scheib and the Dancing Rabbit ecovillage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0WyvlNjeY4&feature=relmfu http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/2011/marapr/classnotes/scheib.html http://www.dancingrabbit.org/about.php
