Con música por Russ Baggerly

Las preciadas semillas comestibles de nuestra 
tierra – los granos de cereales, las legumbres de 
grano, las semillas de aceite, y otras preciosas 
semillas comestibles – cuentan con una historia 
de cultivo a pequeña escala y uso de más de 
10,000 años. El trabajo de Lorenz Schaller y la 
misión de la Sociedad de Semillas Kusa es 
incrementar el conocimiento y entendimiento 
humano de esta muy antigua relación, que une los 
humanos con las cosechas de semillas comestibles.

Disfruta de una presentación a todo color sobre 
la relación entre la humanidad y las hierbas 
cereales sagradas como cebada, amaranto, kamut, 
espelta, mijo, avena, quinoa, y otras cosechas de 
semillas comestibles a lo largo y ancho del 
mundo. La producción de este tapiz tejido con los 
hilos de más de 400 imagenes fotograficas de una 
belleza spectacular llevó más de veinte años. Las 
imágenes recorren desde los remotos pueblos 
agrícolas y campos en las montañas del Himalaya 
en Asia, y la escarpada ciudad de Ladakh, al 
reino de Bhutan, la meseta del Tibet, la Corea 
rural, Turquía, India, y muchas otras tierras.

Esta evento tomará lugar en la Biblioteca Pública 
de Santa Bárbara, en la Galeria Faulkner, 40 E. 
Anapamu Street. Para más información: (805)

ENGLISH
  I n honor of International Seed Swap Day, Santa 
Barbara Permaculture Network presents Lorenz 
Schaller of the Kusa Seed Society, speaking 
about  on Friday, January 30, 7:30pm at the Santa 
Barbara Public Library, Faulkner Gallery.

The precious edible seeds of the earth - the 
cereal grains, grain-legumes, oilseeds and other 
precious edible seeds - have a history of 
small-scale cultivation and utilization which 
dates back more than 10,000 years.  Lorenz 
Schaller's work and the mission of the Kusa Seed 
Society is to increase humanity's knowledge and 
understanding of this very ancient relationship.

Experience a colorful slide show of humanity's 
relationship with sacred cereal grasses such as 
barley, amaranth, kamut, spelt, millet, oats, 
quinoa, and other edible seed crops from around 
the world.  Twenty years in the making the 
presentation is a pictorial tapestry woven from 
the threads of more than 400 international 
photo-images of spectacular beauty taken from 
remote agricultural villages and fields in places 
like the Himalayan mountains; rugged Ladakh; the 
Kingdom of Bhutan; the Tibetan plateau; rural 
Korea, Turkey, India, and many other lands.

A longtime Ojai resident, Lorenz Schaller is a 
remarkable steward of his environment. Having 
worked as a gardener and landscapist for many 
years, he developed a keen interest in the 
ancient tradition of seed saving.  Formerly a 
staff member at the California Institute of 
Technology (Cal-Tech), Schaller studied and has 
taught the nutritional, culinary, and ecological 
significance of biodiverse seed crops for 
decades.  Over time, his scientific knowledge 
merged with a deeper spiritual connection to the 
life cycles of the planet. He could see the 
bigger picture of how seed crops supplied most of 
the world with important, densely nutritious 
foods. These miraculous plants feed more humans 
and wildlife than any other food source.  Lorenz 
founded Kusa Seed Society 
(www.ancientcerealgrains.org) in 1980. Kusa is a 
Sanskrit word meaning sacred grass.  He is 
currently writing a book on Tibetan Barley 
Tsampa, the story of hulless barley, an ancient 
food for humans and their evolving 
civilizations.  The book is dedicated to the Tibetan people and the Dalai Lama.

A special part to the evening will be music 
provided by flamenco guitarist Russ Baggerly 
("Chato").  Chato lived and studied in Seville, 
Spain, where in the heartland of Gypsy music, he 
learned the art of flamenco guitar.

The event takes place at the Santa Barbara Public 
Library, Faulkner Gallery, 40 East Anapamu St, in 
downtown Santa Barbara, on Friday, January 30, 
7-9pm, 2009.  No reservations are required, 
donation $5. For more information please call
