Petaluma City Council once again [...]
The Bioneers Conference, podcasts, books and global community has always meant connection with nature to me: "Revolution from the Heart of Nature" as they say - but it's much more and it's wisdom and global community has never been more needed. Moving towards a Just Transition is heavy work! And [...]
Bioneers conferences, now 34 years young, are rich food for the mind, heart and senses. We just went to the 4/8/23 Bioneers first time on Berkeley campus, which I love. Great combo, Bioneers, smart college kids, and now a partnership with Othering and Belonging Institute, creation of the inspiring, kind [...]
Breakthrough Solutions for People and Planet they offer. Yea, say I! For 2023, the Bioneers world will live on Berkeley campus TODAY, Thurs. 4/6 through Sun. 4/9. Since Berkeley is one of my homes - seen as the philosophical capital of the world by me in my 20's, [...]
First time for us at The Lost Church, Santa Rosa, formerly a Press Democrat warehouse for loading and tying and distributing newspapers. Has that antiquish artsy flow to it; interesting chandelair-like lighting, HIGH ceiling with ivy, photos of famous musicians and actors all around. We liked it immediately. A home [...]

So our go-to climate agitator (toward a healthy planet!), Bill McKibben, posted to my new favorite app, Substack: The Global Banker Who is Not Sure the Globe is Warming: As he wrote: "The easiest reason to explain why he’s (David Malpass, CEO, World Bank) got to go is that he’s [...]
A healthy sense of outrage for the wrongful death of David Pelaez-Chavez was shown by family and friends of the deceased, shot to death on July 29th after a chase near Geyserville found him in a ditch holding a hammer and a garden tiller. North Bay Organizing Project (NBOP) [...]
Advocating for Fair Treatment for Farm Workers during Fire Season... A hot Sonoma County early evening and maybe 100 or so Latinex and Mexican farm workers and friends came together outside the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors office July 18th, anticipating a July 19th, 8:30am Board of Supervisors' review of [...]
Whatever you would do or dream you would do, begin! said Goethe and we’re still trying to figure that out! Great films and books are essential for an active 21st Century mind, but great friends and pets are way better for walks.
