Erik Knutzen is the co-author with Kelly Coyne of The Urban Homestead a
guide to self-reliant living in the city. Infused with the DIY spirit and
distrust of the pre-packaged and the spoon-fed, they believe in that in this
age, gardening and the home arts can be an revolutionary gesture towards
richer lives and better communities. Erik will be speaking about how the
subject of home economics needs a revival and how the subject can positively
influence our lives. Erik and Kelly also blog at
homegrownevolution.com<http://www.homegrownevolution.com/>.


And the *Echo Park Time Bank <http://www.echoparktimebank.com/>*, a very
interesting local solution to the hardships and injustices of global
capitaliasm. The EPTB is a collective whose purpose is to facilitate the
cooperative exchange of goods and services among it's members. Autumn Rooney
and Lisa Gerstein, co-founders of the Echo Park Time Bank, discuss the
concept of complimentary currency as an alternative to the cash economy, and
share their own experiences creating a time bank in their neighborhood.

Our sixth lecture series, Beyond Appearances, will address the growing
feeling in our society that we need to pay closer attention to the events
that are shaping these times. Everything designed, built, created, used and
disused requires an infrastructure and a plan to get it from concept to
reality. Understanding the origin and trajectories of these systems is key
to understanding and coping with our future. A deeper understanding of what
others are doing, both regularly and radically, is a step closer to making
the world a better place. These lectures will take place semi-regularly, but
it is best to keep an eye out as we have not really discovered if there will
be a rhythm to them.

M&A is a 501c3 non-profit organization dependent upon your donations to
continue its programs.

Let's Build Something Beautiful!
