SandorPlease join us this Tuesday, March 9th for WILD FERMENTATION

Meet the author Sandor Katz

Sandor Ellix Katz (aka Sandorkraut), the author of Wild Fermentation and The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved, is a cultural revivalist committed to the spread of fermentation fervor.

Microscopic organisms – our ancestors and allies – transform food and extend its usefulness. Fermentation is found throughout human cultures.

Hundreds of medical and scientific studies confirm what folklore has always known: Fermented foods help people stay healthy.

Many of your favorite foods and drinks are probably fermented. For instance: Bread, Cheese, Wine, Beer, Mead, Cider, Chocolate, Coffee, Tea, Pickles, Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Miso, Tempeh, Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Yogurt, Kefir, Kombucha.

Friends, Neighbors, Cherokee men & women – Come plant seeds for the Cherokee Real Garden  at the Community Arts and Media Project (3026 Cherokee Street) at 6:30 this Thursday the 25th. We have at least 6 different varieties of tomatoes, lots of peppers, red okra, purple cabbage and lots more. They will be nursed at CAMP until spring chooses to bless us with a warm hug and then will be planted at Cherokee Real (2647 Cherokee). You can also sign up to have a garden bed of your very own this summer!!  Kids welcome with adult supervision!

gracespacecolorBeginning March 17, GRACESPACE will meet weekly at C.A.M.P. to gather a small group of neighborhood teenage and pre-teen neighborhood girls together with two co-teachers (Lyndsey Scott and Cayree Dobsch) and visiting mentors to celebrate feminine leadership, self-worth, creative expression, and healthy bodies.  Exploring a toolkit that includes dance, acroyoga, journaling, self portraits, and women’s history,  GRACESPACE connects young women to resources that  promote self-nurture and kindle intuition.  The culminating project will be a performance during the People’s Joy Parade!

houses for Haiti best yet

Anyone who has met Izzi Jackson-Cameron, our neighbor from down the street at Jackson Pianos, knows her effervescent enthusiasm emits a magnetic field far larger than her five-year old frame.  So it’s no surprise that, inspired to help out and connect with the crisis in Haiti, she enlisted her entire school in an effort to aim their creativity at fundraising…

Here’s the details, organized by Izzi’s mom Morgan Cameron:
