- Eco-ResilienceEco-Resilience
  
  Time: 6:00 pm
  
  Resilience is the ability to shift from reaction to resourcefulness in the face of adversity—to bend like a twig in a flood and not break. The new normal of the 21st century demands a deeper embodiment of this kind of flexibility, so we can remain awake, active and effective at this time. Thankfully, we have a few primary sources of resilience to learn from--the body, the earth. What does it mean to bounce back? What are our best ways of doing so? How can we support one another in being resilient, embodied and highly effective in response to the challenge of our time? In this experiential, ongoing group, we will explore such themes as embodiment, flexibility, personal ecology, optimism, community, efficacy and direct action as we create our Resilient Strategies toolkit. Each of us will have the chance to identify practices that work for us, as well as the opportunity to apply them in our lives. The group will offer participants the strength of community, the creativity of shared dialog and the power of perseverance and practice. Come join this community forum and participate in the evolution of resilient culture. at 6:00 pm

- Planning the Winter GardenPlanning the Winter Garden
  
  Time: 4:00 pm
  
  We are blessed in Northern California with a climate that allows us to grow vegetables all year round. The winter garden is a slower, easier gardening delight which just takes a little pre-planning to get right. This time of year is perfect for planning and planting the winter garden, ensuring that you will have greens and broccoli and a few other tasty edibles throughout the winter. Learn about bed and soil prep, plant succession, and managing wintertime pests. I’ll share a planting calendar for our region with you as well, enabling you know when to plant what throughout the year. at 4:00 pm
