uring some very tumultuous times in this country, when we are inundated with media images full of hate and injustice, it’s especially important to highlight those people who are using their voice for good.

In “Change Makers”, on page 26, meet some people who will remind you that there is good— that people can make a real difference in this country. We’ll also talk about two local women who are making a meaningful change right here in Tucson.

Some people are making changes in their community and the world in ways that benefit the environment, as well as their business senses. In “Planet-Friendly and Profitable” (page 34), discover some people who are creating Holly Baker, publisher smart businesses out of ideas that are helping the planet, such as coffee grounds upcycled into facial scrubs, and dog waste bags made from bio-based resins and recycled plastics.

Ever wanted to try meditation, but can’t manage to sit still? Labyrinths offer calming and centering benefits while walking the path. Read about these benefits on page 30, and try it out for yourself at Unity of Tucson, as well as many other spiritual and health centers in the city.

Remember that there is always good in this community, this country and the world—even if sometimes we must seek it out ourselves. It is within each of us, and we can make a difference in our lives and others’ by letting it shine through.

Why Sacred Space is Needed in Local Communities

S

acred Space, a new model of public contemplative practice, local storytelling and community connection, meets Sundays, from 4:10-5:30 p.m., in Tucson. Sacred Space is a secular and interfaith regular gathering for consciousness development, where all are welcome to gather weekly for inspiration from the world’s spiritual traditions, varied local musicians and speakers and community connection.

“Most people need live support to grow, unite across traditional divides and change habits for the purpose of a collaborative, sustainable society. Sacred Space provides a safe and informed space to do that—a space to experience both stillness and exuberance, outside of institutional religion,” explains Rev. Teresa Cowan Jones. “It is the only model of its kind that offers contemplative education and practice by donation on a regular basis.”

The Sacred Space mission is to cultivate compassion and be a source of public renewal and contemplative education, so that we can increase our capacity to work together toward collaborative solutions. This work is based in the current global movement for building compassionate community, which is dedicated to generating understanding and cooperation between people of all backgrounds and beliefs. Sacred Space also offers small groups and classes.

Location: Ward 6 City Council Office, 3202 E. 1st St., Tucson. For more information, call 520-318-3557, email TC@TCJonesCoaching.com or visit SacredSpaceTucson.org.

Tucson Author and Health Coach Launches IndieGogo Campaign

T

ucson author and health coach Robyn Landis has created an IndieGogo campaign to help create her third book, Nourished, allowing readers to participate in launching the project. For perks ranging from books to music to personal coaching, anyone can help a local author bypass traditional publishing and deliver a book that will “demystify and happify living well”. The campaign runs through October 17, at Robyn Landis Tinyurl.com/NourishedCampaign.

“Can you imagine the difference it would make if you— and most people—felt clear, confident, happy, and at peace about what’s healthy and nourishing? If you not only felt smart and savvy about what to do—but wanted to do it and loved it? The physical and psychic energy that this would free up to live your life and give your gifts? And the health care and productivity costs it would save?” muses Landis, owner of BodyFueling. “This book ambitiously promises to crack the code on this—how to not only know what to do, but do it and love it. Information is not enough, and this approach fills the gap.”

Those who support will get a book (or other perks they can choose, including coaching) that will “uplevel” their own immediate self-care to energize their health, body and life.

For more information, call 520-314-0994, email RLandis@drizzle.com or visit RobynLandis.net or Tinyurl.com/NourishedCampaign. See ad, page 4.

newsbriefs Integrating Sustainable Building and Living with Nature

Cannabidiol Available at New Life Wellness Center

I

ONS Tucson will present a talk by Dr. John Fitch on integrating sustainable building and living with nature, at 6:30 p.m., November 4, at Unity of Tucson. Fitch will define sustainable and regenerative building and why the concept is so important to society, natural environments and the Earth’s biosphere. He will outline the steps and technologies of sustainable, regenerative building, using the solar-powered home he built in Redstone Canyon, Colorado, as an example. Lastly, he will discuss the environmental, economic and societal advantages of this type of building, including the spiritual benefits.

Fitch has undergraduate majors in both anthropology and zoology, with a M.A. and Ph.D. in zoology with emphases in ecology, animal beJohn havior and systems science. Over the past 50 years, he has been fortunate Fitch to be able to work in academic, government and nonprofit institutions, including as a White House Fellow during the Carter Administration to study and address human impacts upon natural environments and the biosphere. He is currently the president of Sustaining Tomorrow Today Institute and working on a book describing planning, building and living in a sustainable home.

As a way of personally demonstrating what he advocates, he lives and works in a sustainable house in Redstone Canyon above Loveland and Ft. Collins, Colorado that has been visited by more than 400 people since it was built in 2010.

ew Life Wellness Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization, offers everything needed to harness the medicinal power of cannabis’ most curative cannabinoid: Cannabidiol (CBD). They carry the highest-quality CO2-extracted, hemp-derived CBD products for oral consumption, topical applications and vaporizing. CBD can help with arthritis, anxiety, PTSD, diabetes, IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, inflammation and more.

“Most people are familiar with THC as the prominent compound in the marijuana that is smoked and eaten, but CBD research has been growing to show various health benefits, without the high,” says Devyn Benedetto, liaison officer for New Life Wellness Center.

“It’s completely legal to distribute and purchase, and is easily the most exciting active cannabinoid present in the cannabis plant.”

CBD is non-psychoactive—it can’t and won’t get one high. This unique feature of CBD is what makes it appealing as a medicine. Investigations of CBD have documented the cannabinoid to possess a variety of therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anti-epileptic, anti-cancer and bone-stimulating properties.

End of Life Mentoring Services

D

anielle Dvorak, a certified End of Life Mentor, experienced healthcare advocate and former hospice worker, offers guidance for those facing the prospect of death. She is truly inspired and wishes to help people find their way through this challenging time, whether they are facing their own death, a caregiver, or the family of a loved one who is getting ready to pass on. She completed a recent training in accompanying the dying, resulting in a certificate that qualifies her as an End of Life Mentor.

“There is often a lot of fear and a state of emotional overwhelm that occurs when we are faced with death and dyDanielle Dvorak ing—whether it’s our own or someone we love,” says Dvorak.

“Wouldn’t it be great to know someone you can call with questions, for support? Someone who has ‘got your back’ during this challenging time?”

Dvorak first felt the call to work with those at the end of their lives over 20 years ago, when she shepherded her grandmother through a very difficult last year of life. After that, she spent many years working through a hospice, supporting those who were dying and their families. With her support and guidance, it is possible to experience peace, beauty and a sense of closure.

Sleeping Beauty at the Loft Cinema

T

he Loft Cinema will be screening Walt Disney’s 1959 animated classic, Sleeping Beauty, in 70mm, at noon, October 15, and at 2:30 p.m. October 16. This is a very rare opportunity to see Sleeping Beauty projected in 70mm, so don’t miss out, as it very likely will not happen again!

Based on the fairy tales The Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault and Little Briar Rose by The Brothers Grimm, Walt Disney’s animated classic Sleeping Beauty combines romance, adventure and one of animation’s most spectacular villains into an unforgettable cinematic experience. Filled with jealousy, the flamboyantly evil witch Maleficent curses the beautiful Princess Aurora to die on her 16th birthday.

Thanks to Aurora’s guardian fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merriweather, she only falls into a deep sleep that can be ended with a kiss from her true love, Prince Philip.

Featuring gorgeous animation, breathtaking color and an Oscar-nominated score blending themes from Tchaikovsy’s ballet, Sleeping Beauty was Walt Disney’s most lavish and expensive feature to date. It was also the studio’s first ever 70mm feature, and the first animated film to be photographed in the Super Technirama 70 widescreen process.

Location: 3233 E. Speedway Blvd., Tucson. For more information, call 520-795-0844, email Info@LoftCinema.org or visit LoftCinema.com. See ad, page 27.

Reach Your Own Metamorphosis

A

nya Petrovic, founder of Tesla Metamorphosis and author of the book Tesla Metamorphosis: Heal and Evolve, is returning to Arizona for a series of events, including free presentations and seminars in this amazing modality. A free Introduction to Tesla Metamorphosis will be held at 6 p.m., November 25, at Caritas Center for Healing, in Tucson.

We keep in our subconscious mind many memories, thoughts, emotions, images, beliefs— some of them not pleasant. The events that were difficult to deal with, experiences that we want to forget, are pushed into our subconscious mind.

However, they still interfere with our life, influencing our reactions, creating fears and illnesses.

The process of Tesla Soul Communication helps Anya Petrovic to bring those issues from the subconscious to the conscious level, where we are able to deal with them and to transcend the problem.

Unique for this healing modality is that Tesla Waves can be accessed. Unlike Hertzian waves, Tesla Waves get stronger with distance, allowing clients to report unprecedented effects on many diseases that are considered incurable in orthodox medicine, such as cancer, AIDS, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, even healings from physically injured spine and birth deformities—usually after only three sessions.

Tesla Soul Communication is equally important for both clients and practitioners. Most of us believe that we know ourselves well, that we are honest with ourselves. This process can help us on our journey of elevating our personal consciousness. We can get to know ourselves better and unveil some truths we might be hiding from ourselves.

Anya’s book, Tesla Metamorphosis: Heal and Evolve, is on the quest to understand miracles, and it reveals new knowledge. The answers are found in pioneering scientific research, and also in ancient wisdom. The subject of this book is expanded to understanding the healing phenomena in general, merging science and spirituality.

The spirit of Nikola Tesla is imbued throughout the book. Tesla’s ingenuity is in his spirituality. This man who made discoveries all modern technology is based on, said, “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade, than in all previous centuries of its existence.”

Location: 330 E. 16th St., Tucson. For more information, call 520-940-5840 or visit TeslaMetamorphosis.com or SimoneGers.com. See ad, page 9.

Leon Littlebird and Will Clipman

Live at the Galactic Center

T

he Galactic Center will present the music of the duo Leon Littlebird and Will Clipman, at 8 p.m., October 29. Littlebird and Clipman first met in 2012 as “Floating Artists-inResidence” on a two-week Ancestral Voices of the Grand Canyon rafting expedition on the Colorado River. Their simpatico was immediate: not only did the mountain troubadour and the desert drummer become fast friends; they discovered an innate ability to improvise and compose together.

This led to a magical post-expedition concert at Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, followed—perhaps inevitably, given their incessant individual performing and recording schedules—by a two-year divergence. Littlebird and Clipman always keep in touch, though, and kept Leon Littlebird the dream of further musical and spiritual adventures alive. Their duo concert at Tucson’s Galactic Center marks the resumption of their dynamic collaboration.

A third generation native of Colorado with ancestral roots in both Pioneer and Native American cultures, Littlebird is a consummate musician, recording artist and performer. In his 40-plus-year career, he has recorded nine albums and performed hundreds of concerts. His primary instruments are guitars, native flutes, voice and percussion. His passion for Native American flute music started as a child and has grown to include performing and recording ancient instruments in the traditional fashion, as well as with diverse genres from classical to Celtic, folk and jazz.

Clipman began playing his father’s drums Will Clipman and his mother’s piano at the age of three. He played his first professional gig at fourteen, and has since then mastered a panglobal palette of over 100 percussion instruments, in addition to the traditional drum set.

iz Dawn, owner of Mishka Productions and presenter of Celebrate Your Life conferences, did not follow an easy path to success.

“After a 12-year acting career I was done, and acting was done with me.

Broke, exhausted and underweight, I left Los Angeles and collapsed at my mom’s house in Scottsdale,” she says.

Her mother, Ariel Wolfe, was a psychotherapist/classical pianist/ camp director/single mom/psychic extraordinaire/sound healer/ spiritual teacher. Dawn shares, “This amazing Jewish woman provided the perfect loving space for me to heal.” What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. “It’s 1995. A phone line, an old desk, a lot of chutzpah and two crazy Jewish women. You get Liz Dawn the picture, right?”

Through a series of synchronistic events, they started a business creating events with some of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time. James Redfield was first on their roster in 1995, and was sold out with standing room only. The next Celebrate Your Life conference will be held November 4 through 7, in Scottsdale, featurng some of the greats, including Marianne Williamson, Caroline Myss, Neale Donald Walsch, Gregg Braden, Lisa Williams and others.

Wolfe was always ahead of her time, with a huge array of spiritual books: everything from Eastern philosophy to the great gurus of India. “When I was 16 years old, she [her mother] handed me Ram Dass’ book Be Here Now to begin my spiritual quest,” relates Dawn.

“From this one event, our company blossomed. We named our business Mishka Productions, after our family dog who had passed, as she was filled with such joy and light, it seemed appropriate. For many years, we did one event a month with a different bestselling spiritual author, and then in 2002, things changed. We created a conference called Celebrate Your Life that featured all of these great spiritual visionaries together for one amazing weekend,” says Dawn.

When people started traveling from all over the world to attend, they knew the event was something great. “It was like the smorgasbord of spirituality, offering something for everyone, says Dawn. “It is now 2016, and my beautiful mother, Ariel, has transitioned into spirit. With me at the helm and my amazing team, we continue to create events that open people’s hearts, inspire, transform and heal their lives.”

Dawn states, “We have become world-renowned for our work the past 21 years. I am not sure how all of this happened, but suffice it to say, the universe gave me a sacred gift. I am to be the caretaker of this treasured entity called Mishka Productions, and not for one moment do I take for granted what an honor it is to have been chosen for this role in the world.”

For Better Chiropractic Results, Get a Massage

C

VISIT US ONLINE:

ombining massage and chiropractic care can lead to better, quicker, longer lasting pain relief without drugs. Medical treatments offer quick pain relief through medications, but do not address the cause of the pain. Consider the choice is not between needing a chiropractor or selecting a massage therapist, but a balance of the two working together to help relieve pain.

Chiropractors work on the “hard” tissues by use of spinal adjustment techniques that directly treat the causes of spinal pain or headaches. These issues happen because of subluxation of the spine. A chiropractor can realign the spine, relieving the pain.

Massage therapy aids chiropractic care, by acting like a “warm-up” for the body prior to the adjustment. Adjustments last longer when muscle tension is released, preventing the newly aligned joints from being pulled back out of alignment. In turn, chiropractic care addresses misalignments, which gives immediate relief to the soft tissues that massage therapy specifically prioritizes.

Massage therapy targets the muscles and tendons in our bodies. Muscle spasms and overworked areas of tension can benefit from massage. Overly tight muscles can pull the joints out of alignment, so by keeping these muscles relaxed and supple, massage can prevent the pain from returning.

Connecting with the Earth through Walking Meditation

I

n Ayurveda, it is believed that energy enters the left side of the body and is released from the right side of the body. Using this simple principle we can turn any outdoor walk, whether hiking in the desert or simply walking to the end of the driveway to collect the mail, into a healing, with just a few simple steps.

Start walking. As the left foot first comes into contact with the ground, begin to inhale slowly. Continue inhaling for three steps—left, right, left.

While inhaling, imagine that drawing the green, healing energies of the planet in through the sole of the left foot. Feel that energy moving up the leg and swirling through the body.

The next time the right foot comes into contact with the ground, begin to exhale. Continue exhaling for three steps—right, left, right. On exhale, imagine that the green energy that has been swirling through the body is now moving into the right leg, down to the foot and out through the sole of the foot, back into the earth. Repeat the cycle while continuing to walk. In, two, three… Out, two, three…

Eventually, we are able to move earth energy through the body with almost no conscious effort, whenever we walk. It becomes both a healing cleanse and a walking meditation.

Bright Idea

Incandescent Lights Reinvented as Eco-Friendly Older incandescent light bulbs have been phased out in many countries because they waste huge amounts of energy as heat, but scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have reported in Nature Nanotechnology that they are finding a way to recycle the waste energy and focus it back onto the filament, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-emitted as visible light. Their innovative structure is made from thin, stacked layers of a type of lightcontrolling crystal that allows visible wavelengths to pass through while reflecting infrared back to the filament as if striking a mirror.

Traditional bulbs are banned in the European Union and Canada, and their manufacture and importation are being phased out in the U.S. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been replaced by more expensive compact fluorescent (CFL) and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which are significantly more efficient. In theory, the crystal structures could boost the efficiency of incandescent bulbs to 40 percent, making them three times more efficient than the best available LED and CFL bulbs.

October is Non-GMO Month

The Non GMO Project is sponsoring National Non-GMO Month in October. Observed since 2010, the program seeks to increase education and awareness about the growing presence of unlabeled genetically modified (GM/GMO) food products and ingredients.

People and organizations across North America are discovering the risks GMOs pose to our health, families and environment. Non-GMO Month provides a powerful opportunity to coordinate voices and actions around the country as brands, retailers and individuals stand up for the right to know what’s in our food and to choose to avoid GMOs. Protecting consumer choice and a non-GMO food supply requires a multifaceted approach with online and boots-on-theground teamwork.

The Non GMO Project invites everyone to help create local events and spread the word in communities. Begin at NonGMOMonth.org.

The Meditate the Vote – the Real Conversation segment is the brainchild of the globally broadcast America Meditating radio show (BlogTalkRadio.com/AmericaMeditating), which features prominent thought leaders sharing methods for personal development.

In the midst of the 2016 election campaign, they ask people to step up the quality of citizen debate using Meditate the Vote questions to stimulate more intelligent and inclusive discussions via a variety of social media, including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other outlets leading up to national election day on November 8.

Meditate the Vote does not endorse any candidate or political party. It’s a movement to socially engage all ages in a higher-quality and more cohesive way of working together.

The Internet will be used to spread the word, with participants making videos in which they say, “I meditate the vote,” and why they do so, sharing feedback from their conversations.

A Pause for Peace app is available to access communications, meditations, videos and the America Meditating radio show. The program is also available on Blog Talk Radio, iTunes, Stitcher Radio, Aha Radio and the PlayerFM app.

ecotip Boo! To-Do

Join the Safer Halloween Movement Halloween can be safe, economical and eco-friendly fun. Crusader costumes remain popular this year, but with a tutu twist.

Avoid long skirts or capes that can trip up children and instead recycle a princess tulle skirt from a thrift shop into a shorter frock. T-shirt tops with a superhero logo plus a painted cardboard headpiece transforms kids into do-gooders. Homemade natural face paints are another alternative (see Tinyurl.com/Trick-Treat-Tips).

Treats should also be eco-friendly. Equal Exchange offers fair trade, organic and kosher low-fat chocolates from crops grown by small farmers in the Dominican Republic and Peru, shipped in a quantity big enough to split the cost with friends (Shop.EqualExchange.coop/chocolate.html). Nut-free, homemade trail mix, wrapped in eco-friendly tissue paper or a square of cloth tied shut, provides a welcome change from sweets.

In 2014, the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) organization launched the Teal Pumpkin Project. Place a downloadable sign in a window to announce that non-food, Earthfriendly treats are offered at the house for kids with allergies or food sensitivities (Tinyurl.com/TealHalloweenPumpkins).

K

alyn Wolf, owner of Cloud Nine Flotation & Relaxation, now offers a new biofeedback device called The Muse—a headband that detects one’s brainwave activity and records it on a mobile smart device, while teaching how to calm the mind. She offers The Muse mini-session experience with a float, as well as a 20-minute or longer session to try The Muse and to see if it resonates with one’s meditation and health regime.

Wolf is passionate about human potential. She started meditating at 16 through Transcendental Meditation and went to her first “personal growth” seminar at 21. Discovering ways to calm and expand her mind has been her life’s work, which led her to reopen Cloud Nine Flotation & Relaxation Center in September 2015. Flotation, or sensory deprivation tanks, allows the ability to remove oneself from outside sensory influences, which improves quality of life and meditation.

Adding biofeedback to a flotation session not only quantifies the experience of calming the mind, but it teaches one how to get back to that calm mind when needed.

Wolf has been using The Muse with clients at Cloud Nine with stunning results. One client walked in with a 14 percent calm mind before his float, and after his float he registered 92 percent.

As an Emmy Award-winning trumpeter, composer, educator and co-founder, conductor and artistic director Orbert Davis of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic (CJP), Orbert Davis is dedicated to multi-genre projects. His collaborative research in 2012 while in Cuba on a people-to-people exchange accompanied by fellow musicians and River North Dance Chicago’s Artistic Director Frank Chaves (now retired) proved to be a multifaceted boon.

It generated the philharmonic’s Havana Blue live performance in 2013 and ignited a weeklong cultural exchange with Cuba’s Universidad Ciudad de las Artes (ISA) during his return trip for the Havana International Jazz Festival in 2014. President Barak Obama’s announcement of the normalization of Cuban/U.S. diplomatic relations opened up the possibility for a continuing CJP/ISA relationship, as well as their 2015 landmark partnered event when 37 ISA students traveled to Chicago to perform Scenes from Life: Cuba at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Davis promises more such events to come.

All of these individuals represent a small percentage of the game-changers actively moving to create an alternative future. Estés observes, “What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts; adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group that will not give up during the first, second or hundredth gale.”

While many of us like to meditate, some can’t sit still. Walking a labyrinth provides an enticing alternative.

A

n archetypal labyrinth gently leads us in a circular path inward toward a center and then back out again. Found in ancient cultures from African, Celtic and Greek to Native American, they became especially popular fixtures in Medieval European churches; one of the most renowned is in France’s Chartres Cathedral.

Depictions of labyrinths have been included in paintings, pottery, tapestries and in Hopi baskets as a sacred symbol of Mother Earth. Several American tribes saw the pattern as a medicine wheel.

Celts may have regarded it as a neverending knot or circle. While some of the oldest known labyrinths decorate cave walls in Spain, today they grace diverse locations ranging from spas and wellness centers to parks, gardens, university campuses and even prisons.

“Labyrinths can be outdoors or indoors. Permanent labyrinths may be made of stones, rocks, bricks or inlaid stones. Temporary labyrinths can be painted on grass or made with all sorts of things for a particular purpose or appropriate to a specific cause,” explains Diane Rudebock, Ed.D., resource vice president and research chair of the

natural awakenings

Labyrinth Society, in Trumansburg, New York.

“Walking a labyrinth is useful for those that sometimes have a hard time being outwardly still and drawing themselves inward. You must move your body, and because you’re focused on the path while you’re walking it, it’s easier to drop wholly into the journey and let go of all else,” says Anne Bull, of Veriditas, a Petaluma, California, nonprofit that supports new labyrinth designs to suit the spiritual needs of hospitals, schools and retreat centers.

The group also sponsors a worldwide directory at LabyrinthLocator.com.

Individual Approaches

A labyrinth walk typically involves three stages. The first is for releasing extraneous thoughts on the way to the center. Upon arriving in the stillness of that point, the participant opens heart and mind to receive whatever message or wisdom is intended for them. The return path is the integration phase, to make a fresh insight our own.

Participants should approach their walk in different ways: One may have a specific question or intention in mind;

another may be open to whatever occurs during their meditation; yet another may repeat a meditative mantra. One might even choose to bypass the path entirely in order to sit contemplatively at its center. Unlike a maze, it’s impossible to lose our way with the circular path serving as a simple and reliable guide.

Although scientific research on labyrinth meditation has been limited to participant questionnaires, future studies may incorporate the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging technology to measure brain activity and record what individuals experience. Labyrinths located in settings like hospitals and prisons lend themselves to such research, says Rudebock. As a Veriditas-certified labyrinth facilitator, she conducts workshops and observes, “Walks are unique to each individual and may not produce uniform or replicable results.”

At its core, the experience is about listening to our truest self, away from the cacophony of modern life. “I believe that the world needs places where our souls can be quiet,” remarks Jean Richardson, director of the Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center, in Bangor, Pennsylvania, which includes a seven-circuit labyrinth. “Retreat centers and labyrinths are places where we can listen to our inner heart, feel our inner calling and tap into our own divine nature. I think deep listening is not always valued in a world where we are rewarded for being busy and keeping our schedules full.”

Nearby Opportunities

Today, labyrinths—indoor, outdoor, natural, urban, secular and religious— are found in or near many communities.

Following the lead of California’s Golden Door Spa, in Escondido, which pioneered the use of a labyrinth in a spa setting, many spas now incorporate them in their wellness or mindfulness programs.

Labyrinthine invitations to a mindfulness practice are open to everyone. “A labyrinth can bridge all beliefs, faiths, religions and walks of life,” says Bull. “You can walk a labyrinth no matter what you believe. Benefits come in walking it with an open mind and open heart.”

Collaboration Magnifies Creative Expression

by Dale Bruder

K

imi Eisele is like an amazon huntress, her quiver filled with words, movement, stories and images tracking the beauty and truths of planetary awareness. She delves deeply into the wilderness of rhetoric and penetrates the mask that clouds our vision of Gaia.

A multidisciplinary artist with a master’s degree in geography, she is devoted to an ecology-based creative expression.

Eisele is among the growing movement of women who follow an eco-artist path. Her training as a geographer gives her a high regard for place and space.

Her mastery of art disciplines provides the means to address matters of planetary degradation and industrial globalization. Her collaborative-based leadership allows the artist in her to direct others in expressing their artistry.

“I’ve always been interested in environmental issues, in part because I have a strong connection to plants, animals and landscapes,” explains Eisele. “When I moved to the southwest nearly 20 years ago, I was, like many creative people, taken by the quality of light here, as well as how incredibly diverse the Sonoran

Desert is.”

A dancer, choreographer and writer, the artist investigated deep into the cultural community. Eisele is part of the Design Co*op, a collective of architects, designers and artists in residence at MOCA; a choreographer/performer with NEW ARTiculations Dance Theater; and co-founder of both Movement Salon and Action Down There, a collective of women artists.

Her passion for writing led to founding you are here: the journal of creative geography at the University of Arizona School of Geography and Development.

Beginning in 1998, the annual journal explores the concept of place through articles, fiction, poetry, essays, maps, photographs and art.

“Some years ago, I stood with a saguaro cactus for an hour. As a dancer, I was trying to figure out how to make a duet with the cactus,” she says. Eisele described the germ of the idea that became “Standing with Saguaros”, a three-part performance piece that included women in evening gowns and saguaro cacti. “For all its majesty, the saguaro is a plant that

natural awakenings

does not want to be touched. So instead of wrapping my arms around the saguaro and leaning into it, I simply stood next to one. As the light shifted, bees turned to bats, nighthawks appeared, wind whispered through the spines. I swayed a little. So did the saguaro.”

Out of that moment came what Eisele calls “Alarm-Clock Art”, a sort of Zen lightning strike that lights up the core of awareness. “Standing with Saguaros” is a series of site-responsive activities and performances celebrating the saguaro cactus. Part theater, part podcast, part nature experience and total community celebration, “Standing with Saguaros” aims to engage the public in befriending, connecting with, learning from and caring about the iconic species.

A committed collaborator, she partnered with Borderlands Theater and Saguaro National Park West to create the human-saguaro performance. It is part of the National Endowment of the Arts “Imagine Your Parks” project, in honor of the National Park Services Centennial.

Currently, Eisele is preparing Act Three of the engagement, to be presented before the year’s end.

“I’m drawn to the idea of resilience and resistance, in both human and nonhuman landscapes. How do we survive in a place of so few resources?” she asks rhetorically, then answers: “Well, we have to be creative and cooperative and efficient. That plays out in the desert every day. Creatures like hummingbirds and plants like saguaro cacti have a lot to teach us humans about how to live.

Hummingbirds seek the sweetness of the cacti bloom and saguaros are steadfast, patient and extremely generous.”

The metaphor of the hummingbird and the cacti is theater, an artistic device.

“Climate change is the single-most

important environmental, social and cultural threat that exists. It pretty much trumps all other ills. It baffles me that some communities still don’t utter that phrase, as if it’s some fictional monster,” she says. Art is Eisele’s means to shift Kimi & Saguaro awareness.

“I think art—both making it and witnessing it—can help us know what principles of cooperation, kindness, precaution and humility can feel like in our bodies, so that we can return to them,” Eisele enthuses. “The beauty of art is that it often invites us to come together—in a gallery, in a theater, on the street, in a kitchen, on a dance floor—in order to experience something at the same time. That can be kind of revolutionary.”

Strength, resilience and adaptability are key qualities of the wise woman warrior. “I started making paper-cuttings in 2011 after an injury left me unable to dance, hike or do yoga,” explains the artist. “One day during my healing period, I picked up an X-ACTO knife and created a cut-out of a woman’s back. I was struck by how satisfying it was to remove segments of paper to create an image. Later I realized what a welcome metaphor for life it was: how we can find simple beauty and joy by cutting away that which no longer serves us.”

“I see we need revolutionary reminders to help us navigate complex situations that will require revolutionary thinking.

We are going to need to feel ourselves out of these predicaments—not necessarily think our way out of them,” Eisele says.

“Artistic processes—whether you are writing a play or arranging flowers or making a pie or composing a photograph—help us do that. We stop, look and feel our way through things.

Hopefully that process instills a sense of interconnectedness, or as the Buddhists say, inter-being.”

When the economy faltered in 2008, Dave Marciniak, owner and lead designer at Revolutionary Gardens, in Culpeper, Virginia, offered eco-friendly services. “I focus on a few key points and design to make the outdoors a place where people want to be,” he says.

Even for urbanites, fresh garden herbs are available thanks to ecopreneurs like Andy Avramenko, who created TrendyThing, in New York City.

“The edible plants our bike messengers distribute come from local farmers,” he explains. Basil, parsley, dill, lettuce and other herbs and greens are available for all five boroughs; potted plants arrive fresh weekly via subscription.

In addition to cleaning homes, Debbie Sardone, owner of Speed Cleaning, in Lewisville, Texas, saw an opportunity to manufacture her own green cleaning products. They’re part of a full-line online catalog.

Ryan Riley and his wife, Ashley Spitz, of Los Angeles, own and operate Biz Bagz, dog waste bags made in America from bio-based resins and recycled plastics. He notes the genesis of their idea: “Landfills are anaerobic, so biodegradable bags don’t get the oxygen required to break down. Compostable bags are available, but few

places provide composting services. We offer a cleaner alternative.”

Another pet-inspired idea was spawned when Kevin Li, of Manhattan, New York, left his puppy home alone for the first time. He invented an app-operated remote control ball with a camera called PlayDate (Tinyurl.com/ RemoteBallApp).

Personal Care

People- and planet-friendly personal care products address other ongoing customer needs. Nitya Gulati, founder of Sugarloom Cosmetics, in Ashburn, Virginia, specializes in Americanmade, vegan, cruelty- and toxin-free nail polish. She advises, “Look for ‘five-free’ on the label, which means no formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, toluene and allergens camphor and formaldehyde resin. Watch out for guanine, made from fish scales, found in glittery polishes. Oleic acid, a thickener, is animal fat. Vibrant reds may contain carmine, made from boiled, crushed beetles.” She warns that products tested by a third party can obscure animal testing during product development.

VEGANza Pgh restaurant and its catering arm, Lean Chef en Route, recognized by Sustainable Pittsburgh.

“We source locally, compost produce scraps, serve meat- and dairy-free menu options, practice food waste management with root-to-stem preparation and maintain energy conservation,” she says.

Customers are encouraged to bike to the restaurant; there’s even a bicycle air pump and flat tire repair kit on the premises if emergencies arise.

Shared bikes are a welcome addition at colleges for budget-minded and time-strapped students. Rented by the hour or day, they’re a convenient, healthy and non-polluting way to get around campus. University at Buffalo students can remotely locate, rent and unlock GPS-enabled bikes. At Williams College, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, the Purple Bike Coalition provides free use of bikes and a staffed repair station; a cargo bike helps transport larger objects.

Narrowed Field of Foods

Born to Eat Wild Why Ancestral Diets Boost Health

by Judith Fertig

I

n The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, Michael Pollan surmised that we’d be healthier if we ate the way our great-grandparents did. It would mean sticking to regularly scheduled meals instead of impulsive snacking, having a meat or protein item comprise only a quarter of our plate, adding fresh vegetables and eliminating junk food.

We must look further back than our immediate ancestors, counters Jo Robinson, a food journalist who surveyed more than 6,000 scientific research studies before writing her bestselling Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health. She has also co-authored several other books, including The Omega Diet: The Lifesaving Nutritional Program Based on the Diet of the Island of Crete.

“Many believe we have dumbed down the nutrition in our food over the past 100 years,” says Robinson, who lives and gardens on Vashon Island, Washington. “Research shows we have been breeding out proteins and minerals and most importantly, antioxidants, for much longer.”

She points out that the hunter-gatherer diet encompassed many wild foods that tasted more bitter, astringent, sour and earthy than the sweet blandness in today’s fruits and vegetables. Wild foods offered a wider variety of phytonutrients, but came at a cost—the time required to hunt and gather enough food for a day, let alone a season.

“Then, 12,000 years ago, we had a better idea—gardening,” says Robinson. “We evolved to 20 varieties in a garden versus 150 in wild plants.” First, farmers chose sweet, starchy, mild-tasting, oil-rich foods such as figs, dates and olives. “We’re hard-wired to choose high-calorie foods because they’re directly connected to the pleasure centers of the brain,” she adds.

After that, the trend to grow sweeter-tasting, less nutritious plants snowballed. Robinson cites research that found adding one Golden Delicious apple to the daily diet of a small group of overweight men led to higher levels of undesirable low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides due to its high-fructose content and low levels of antioxidants (International Journal of Preventive Medicine).

Wilder Options Even organic farming methods, in which the soil is naturally enriched, can’t return all those lost nutrients to our food.

Rather than advocate that we return to eating wild foods, Robinson suggests finding wild equivalents. Even those that follow a paleo diet—presumably eaten by early humans and consist-

ing chiefly of meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, excluding dairy, grain products and commercially processed items—could use further refinements in the produce they choose. She recommends specific varieties of fruits and vegetables and explains the benefits of “wild” foods such as meat, eggs and dairy from livestock and poultry fed on grass on her website, EatWild.com.

We can make smarter choices, seeking wilder-type varieties of foods at the grocery store, farmers’ market and garden seed companies. In general, they are more vividly colored, especially from red to purple, and less sweet.

Brightly colored fruits and vegetables indicate a botanical sunscreen the plant produces to protect itself from ultraviolet light and other external threats, notes Robinson; it’s an indication of a higher antioxidant activity.

“Find as many purple foods as possible because they have anthocyanins, known to fight cancer and inflammation,” suggests Robinson. “The original carrot from Afghanistan is purple. It’s only been orange for the past 400 years when it was bred to salute the royal House of Orange, in the Netherlands.”

According to Robinson, we can also prepare our foods in ways that maximize their phytonutrient content.

Eat fresh-picked asparagus and broccoli immediately or their natural sugars and antioxidants disappear. Let chopped or pressed garlic sit for 10 minutes before using so its pungent allicin—the healthy compound that benefits our health— will increase. Tear fresh lettuce the day before eating and keep it fresh in a plastic bag with poked holes, to allow the still-living lettuce to rally its healthy compounds as if its battered leaves were repelling an insect attack.

This emerging science of polyphenols, the technical term for phytonutrients in our food, will be explosive, predicts this pioneering research-based author. “There’s a new study just about every month,” she finds. It can all lead toward breeding and growing more nutritious foods that are more readily accessible to everyone.
