GRASS VALLEY, Calif. Jan. 27, 2011 – This Sunday, January 30th, at 9:30 a.m., the Tibetan Buddhist Monks, the Tsai Akim Maidu Native American Tribe, and the Wolf Creek Community Alliance will honor Wolf Creek. The general public is encouraged to meet at the Bank Street Plaza in front of The Holiday Inn Express in downtown Grass Valley. With prayers, songs, and blessings, the Tibetan sand mandala will be released into Wolf Creek from the Bank Street Bridge.
For the past two weeks, the Tibetan monks from the Gaden Monastery in Southern India have been constructing a sand mandala at Saint Joseph’s Cultural Center. One of the monks’ visions on their tour is to interact and engage with the communities they encounter. In their efforts to heal the environment, the monks have chosen Wolf Creek to receive this blessing of their spiritual art.

Soil Food Web & the Compost Tea Revolution
M.A. Center – Castro Valley
January 31st – February 4th.
Central to the permaculture strategy is engaging natures succession process (transition in complexity from weeds to forest). Elaine brings it home that this process is a soil first adventure. By moving the complexity along in the soil (which can happen fast) we can select for more complexity above ground (weeds exit, enter trees (or whatever we want to grow).
This workshop, with Dr. Elaine Ingham the internationally revered soil expert of out time, is for farmers, landscapers, ranchers, creators and distributors of agricultural products, waste management professionals, soil and garden enthusiasts of all types, and anyone who touches the earth. Simply put, this information needs to be central to any sustainable agriculture or land management.

Business & Professional Women of Nevada County: Population, Consumption, and Climate Change: A Time for Women to Change the Course of History Nov. 17

By: Business & Professional Women of Nevada County
November 6, 2010 – Worried about the fate of the earth? How about our state? How about our little slice of heaven right here in the Sierras?
Business & Professional Women of Nevada County invite you to join us on Wednesday evening, November 17 at the Holbrooke Hotel to hear Dr. Judith Kildow speak on Population, Consumption and Climate Change: A Time for Women to Change the Course of History.
Some facts to chew on: Did you know that by 2050, the population of California will increase by the size of FOUR Californias? Did you know that 14,000 people died of hunger today? Did you know that as ice melts it tugs on the earth’s rotation?
But, Judith assures us, all is not yet lost. She will talk about how women can have a large influence in making necessary changes, including micro-financing for women in developing countries, how we must not grow BIGGER but DEEPER, and how women’s decisions can change the critical mass, beginning with each of us in our community and ending with national and global change. Specific subjects she will touch on are Population, the elephant in the room and how this is a woman’s issue; climate change predictions and their effect on economic trends; and how we can stop using our natural resources beyond the earth’s capacity to regenerate.
Dr. Kildow is eminently qualified to talk about these issues and we are lucky to have her now living in Nevada County. She directs the National Ocean Economic Program (NOEP) (www.OceanEconomics.org), is adjunct professor at California State University at Monterey Bay, serves on several boards, and is a private consultant. Her field bridges science and policy, identifying how economic activities and ocean changes effect each other.
Plan now to attend to hear this fascinating speaker on Wednesday, November 17th at the Holbrooke Hotel Express Room. Social/networking hour begins at 5:30, dinner at 6 PM. Cost is $22. DINNER RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE USING PAYPAL, by Sunday November 14th, either on our website at http://bpwnevadacounty.org or on our Facebook page at Business & Professional Women of Nevada Co. (a PayPal account is not necessary to reserve your space). You will be asked upon preregistration to indicate whether you would prefer a vegetarian entree. Contact Robin Mallery at 477-2361 or by email at robinmallery@sbcglobal.net for more information.
