Saturday May 26 from 1-3pm - SLO library community room.  Harvesting the
Sun: Cultivation & Uses of Traditional Peruvian Andes Food Crops – free talk
by Amalia Escobar Galpert.

Community Grief Ritual May 25 – 28 at Loving Earth Sanctuary (PDF document
is attached for more information.)

This powerful restorative Grief Ritual and healing workshop over Memorial
Day weekend draws from the traditional grief rituals of the Dagara tribe of
Burkina Faso, West Africa brought to the West by Dagara healer Sobonfu Somé,
ritual practices from Joanna Macy’s The Work that Reconnects, and the
teachings of grief workers, soul activists and ritualists Francis Weller,
Martin Prechtel, and Michael Meade.

What if we had the loving support of community to help us connect with and
process the pain of our personal losses along with the anxiety, sadness, and
overwhelm many of us are feeling collectively in these unprecedented times
of deep social division and injustice, and ongoing environmental
devastation? Throughout history people have come together tribally and
ceremonially to honor and metabolize their grief.

FARMGIRLS Summer Camp is Girl Power for our Future Food System! FARMGIRLS
Summer Camp is held at Our Global Family Farm
<https://www.ourglobalfamilyfarm.com/> , a permaculture demonstration site
located at City Farm SLO. It features food crops and indigenous food
cropping systems from the four corners of the globe. FARMGIRLS Summer Camp
will include farming, cooking, eating, making crafts, singing and nature
hikes. The FARMGILRS summer camp is a place where women and girls of all
ages can learn about how to grow food in an ecological approach that follows
the ethics of permaculture: care for the earth, care for one another, and
share the abundance. Together we can create a food system that is
Regenerative, Healthy, Local, and Resilient. FARMGIRLS Summer Camp is now
open to women too. We want to see generations of women and girls be
empowered to learn about agriculture and be empowered to grow their own
food! 

International connections at FARMGIRLS Summer Camp

This year at FARMGIRLS we have a mother and daughter coming all the way from
Sao Paulo, Brazil and another couple of people coming from Costa Rica. These
world travelers are connecting to us vis-à-vis the Nu Mundo
<https://numundo.org/center/united-states/our-global-family-village#ByYunvn2
>  website by searching for permaculture demonstration sites in California.
They will need a place to stay, so please contact me if you have a room in a
house the mother and daughter from Brazil can stay and another for the
couple from Costa Rica.
