With Halloween coming and the Celebrations of the Day of Dead we will take the time to remember ancestors. In particular we will consider what we have learned from our families about sustainable practices as well as what we need to unlearn.

Please bring photos of loved ones to put on our Alter table

Our Council methods are based on ancient practices and the Way of Council developed at the Ojai Foundation.

Council Facilitators:
Teya Valentina Chavez (Co-owner/Sol Studios & healing arts teacher)

Community Council: Participatory Politics

by

Some of the questions we will address in this month’s council:

[unordered_list style=”green-dot”]

  • In these times of great change and political polarization, how can we find common ground and use change to unite rather than divide us?
  • How do we maintain balance within ourselves as the ground shifts below our feet?
  • How do we reclaim our role as citizens?

Community Council: Striving for Zero Waste in a Single-Use Society

by

With Sustainable Fairfax’s help, the Town of Fairfax intends on reaching its ZERO WASTE goal of 94% diversion of waste from the landfill by 2020. We can do it, daunting as it sounds.

  • What can we teach each other about good practices, changing habits, and advocacy?
  • How do we stay connected to ourselves so we can be good stewards when we feel overwhelmed, or powerless?
  • In the face of today’s unsustainable practices, how can we support each other to cultivate courage and insight as we learn how to be initiators and leaders?

The methods we will use are based on ancient practices and the Way of Council developed in the last 30 years at the Ojai Foundation.
