We are free-flowing energy being and patterning along a magnificently diverse spectrum of existence moving as successive iterations of fractalized existence into one. http://ow.ly/44j92…

Help plan future Kits Transition Village activities and direction

Summer Course in Italy, Switzerland and Lopez Island, WA about Food (& Slow Food Movement)

Hi, I am posting this link because I've taken several courses from one of the main instructors, Gigi Beradi, and she's a wonderful teacher. I am betting this will be a great course.
