Easy & fun fermented beverages: Kefirs and kombucha
Want a happy belly? Good digestion? And an alternative to sodas and sugary drinks? There will be a workshop at the Monte Vista Chamber of Commerce on Sunday, March 3, from 2 to 4pm. Taste and learn to make fermented beverages and find out why we are so excited about them. We will be demonstrating and teaching about water kefir, dairy kefir, and kombucha. Learn from bacteria-lovin’ babes! Members of the SLV Local Foods Coalition will demonstrate their specialty. Donation of $5-$15, sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds. Please RSVP to the SLV Local Foods Coalition (Julie or Elaine) at 719-937-2319 or email us at SLVLocalFoods@gmail.com—so that we may provide you with ready-touse water kefir grains and/or kombucha “mothers” to take home and get started fermenting! We have a very limited supply of take home samples, so be sure to RSVP to be first on the list.
Working with the Mineral Kingdom from a Native perspective
Native American teacher and healer Láné Saán Moonwalker will conduct a workshop which is an introduction to working with minerals, such as rose quartz and amethyst, from a Native American perspective. Minerals are one of the most important sacred tools used by indigenous groups worldwide. People have gone to them for assistance and guidance on both the practical and spiritual levels for millennia. No matter what one’s background is in working with minerals, this workshop will provide a unique perspective, based on mutual respect and honoring. Saturday, March 16 from 9:30 to 4:30. $75. To register, and for location, call Dorje Root, 937-7786, or dorjeroot@yahoo.com.
Willow Wisdom Workshop
Willow is one of the major plants—tree or shrub—found in riparian environments worldwide. It provides food for beavers in addition to providing materials for their dams and lodges. Humans have copied beavers’ use of willow in making baskets, arbors, and homes, and even building sweat lodges for sacred purposes. Willow’s natural flexibility allows it to be used in so many different ways. That natural flexibility has a lot to teach us, and can even help us with emotional alignment. Riparian Environment Series, Part 4 with Láné Saán Moonwalker. Sunday, March 17 from 9:30 to 4:30. $75. At the Colorado College Conference Center. To register call Dorje Root, 937-7786, dorjeroot@ yahoo.com, or Peter May at earthdance_pdm@yahoo.com, 256-4898.
Shumei Free Movie Night
Shumei Free Movie Night hosts Our Daily Bread. Bypassing the human factor, Nikolaus Geyrhalter’s provocative documentary offers an intensely clinical look at the machinery of industrial food production. Geyrhalter focuses his lens on high-tech aspects of agriculture, using a rich mix of film techniques to capture machines in action. Humans, animals and crops appear incidentally, with droning conveyor belts, automated crop dusters and other machinery in starring roles. Refreshments provided. Friday, March 15, 7pm, 256-5284.
