Raíces Eco-Culture: Growing sustainable roots for a sustainable future
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. Join Raices Cultural Center to explore and discuss the essential role that sustainable living plays in the preservation of culture and of life itself. These study group meetings are open to the public and intend to provoke critical analysis, exploration and dialogue in the field of sustainability.
November 7 TOPIC: Fracking and Sustainable Health
December 5 TOPIC: Perspectives of Nature-John Trudell
Thank you to Study Group member Ellen for your suggestion and notes for the upcoming meeting. We will be listening to sections from a speech by John Trudell and discussing our modern culture's disconnect from the natural world.
Notes from the speech:
"The world is out of balance. We are part of the natural world . We feed off of the energy of our sacred mother earth. But they (the powers that be) have separated us from the natural world.
They have separated us from our spiritual connection to the earth,
therefore people feel powerless.
We are power. We were put here on this sacred mother Earth to serve a purpose. The purpose is to honor the earth, to protect the earth, to respect the earth.
We will never free ourselves as human people, until we address the
issue of how we live in balance with the earth.
All of our resistance, all of our struggle is hollow, if we do not look out for the welfare of the Earth first."
[Directions to listen to full speech: Visit the WBAI archives (http://archive.wbai.org/AllShows.php). Scroll down to Thursday, November 24, 2011, 9 AM "First Voices Indigenous Radio" John comes on at the half-way point. Speech is 30 minutes.]
January 2 TOPIC: Skillshare!
Come share your skills with us! All are invited to share their knowledge and demonstrate their practical skills and talents. In order to flourish we have to understand how to use our own resources to provide what we need for ourselves. Whether it's making your own homemade toothpaste and beauty products, dying fabrics with plants instead of chemicals, preserving food, making your own solar panels or thousands of countless other skills, you too have something you can share with us!
We invite all of our friends and community members to join us in sharing their own knowledge of practical eco-culture, sustainable, natural living or homesteading skills. Each “sharer” will have 15 minutes to share their knowledge, demonstrate their skills or crafts and answer questions for other participants. Possible topics include, but are not limited to making natural health and beauty projects, sewing your own clothes, beekeeping, fixing your own bike, gardening, herbal healing, preserving food, DIY arts and crafts, creating your own alternative energy...the possibilities are endless!
