Sponsored by the Peace Coalition of Southern Illinois Voices "It is not so much human beings that are rescued, but the earth. The earth continues to be dependent on human beings for its cultivation, but the ongoing existence of the earth and all living beings is detached from, or made independent of, the actions of human beings, good and bad...The law of the succession of the seasons and days will impose its rhythms on generations of human beings. It is the time of the earth that counts. " ~Larry Rasmussen |
Newsletter for July 7, 2010 In this Issue:
THURSDAY, JULY 8 @ 6:00 PM The InterVeg Forum series has concluded for the semester, but the meals are still going strong! Come enjoy a good meal and a chance to play in the garden. Not a vegatarian? Not a problem! FRIDAY, JULY 9 @ 6:00 PM There is no scheduled chef or theme this week but that won't keep us from enjoying each others' company as we cook and eat together. We are looking for main chefs for the summer and fall to showcase their food and culture. Interested in being a chef? Feel free to email Aur Beck if you'd like to coordinate your own slow-food meal. Send a list of ingredients (within our budget) you need us to get so we can help you to prepare and share your tasty food. WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK? WEDNESDAY, JULY 21 @ 4:30 PM Maurine Pyle, co-director of Gaia House Interfaith Center, will lead a community workshop to explore our collective concept of hospitality. All are welcome, especially volunteers, students, board members, and community members who visit Gaia House at least once a week to participate in its programs. Join us in an exploration of our 67-year-old culture of hospitality and where it might lead us in the future.
