World Naked Bike Ride will happen twice a year - join the northern hemisphere on June 7th.
We will meet at 11:30pm and ride at midnight
Monroe Park, 10th Ave. and Monroe St.
come costumed, painted - Naked!
wear a helment, have a bike light and obey traffic laws
chanting encouraged, as well as bubbles.
And with luck, DescenDance will perform amazing fire dancing again. drummers welcome!
Naked Bike Ride is about many things
Pushing the social construct that nude bodies are shameful
Protesting oil Dependency
Raising Awareness that Pedalers are naked on the road with cars... no protection
Celebrating our love of Bicycles
Encourage people to ride bikes instead of drive as much as possible
we encourage people of all shapes, sizes, and colors (purple?)
We are loving, supportive, fun, celebratory, and practical. We aren't saying Kill your car, but use your bike as much as possible. Japan has cars that drive 200 miles per gallon - why can't we have that technology? Push the oil companies, and until then "Less Gas, More Ass!"
Protest Indecent Exposure to cars.
the cops will not officially be informed, but they never take us off guard. However, I would appreciate it if EVERYBODY followed traffic laws and respected your fellow cyclists.. last time many people got ticketed for a small handful of people's cockery.
Families welcome!

"Earth needs humans to figure out our shared destiny, says Alan Seid, whose interest is both the outer and inner dimensions of sustainability. Outside there's ecology, social systems and economics (e.g., in Permaculture). Inside is the psychological dimension of personal and group values and intentions. How do we meet people where they are, engender respect, promote crucial information-sharing, and motivate change?"
- Introduction to Peak Moment TV's interview with Alan Seid
Tools for Social Change
Integral Sustainability & Life Practice
A two day workshop with Alan Seid, June 7 & 8
at the Center for Expressive Arts, 1317 Commercial St (across from Parkade)

Alan Seid introduces an approach to positive change in the world that honors as much knowledge and wisdom from as many different sources as possible. Using Ken Wilber's Integral Framework, which places all fields of knowledge within a unified map, this model informs sustainability both in theory and practice, and gives us a framework for the work of creating integrated and whole lives. The workshop will interweave fundamentals of Permaculture, Non-Violent
Communication, and Financial Integrity – all within the context of Integral Sustainability.
With Permaculture Design:
- An ecological design system focused on working with rather than against nature.
- Learn how the principles of Permaculture inform many areas of sustainable, low-impact living.
With Nonviolent CommunicationSM:
- Hear others more deeply and get heard the way you want to be heard.
- Learn what really motivates people and how to catalyze true collaboration.
- Improve personal and professional relationships by knowing how to create a high quality of connection.
With Financial Integrity:
- Learn the 9 awareness steps applied to your personal relationship with money
- Reduce stress and gain greater clarity with money
- Reconnect with greater meaning and purpose in life and work
With Integral Sustainability and Life Practice:
- Understand why many sustainability initiatives have failed
- Make some key distinctions for getting traction
- Learn how to gain the most knowledge and wisdom from as many sources as possible
- Learn it's applicability to how we work together in groups.
- Learn about the practical, 1st-person, experiential dimension of the Integral Approach, called Integral Life Practice.
Cost: $225, which includes 2 catered lunches.
Early bird special: $175 if registered by May 23rd (further discount available for those who want to have lunch on their own).
In the course of the interview on Peak Moment TV with Janaia Donaldson,
Alan Seid shared many of the concepts that are central to his vision of
Integral Sustainability. One Peak Moment fan commented, "What
an amazing video - of all the great Peak Moment video's I've seen, this
one really resonates with me. The depth and clarity of the topics
covered, unearthed new and different ways of thinking - well done!" Watch the interview here: http://www.wordpress.peakmoment.tv/conversations/?p=16
"Alan Seid is stellar at what he does!"
-- Rick Dubrow, local sustainability advocate
Alan has a unique ability to understand and teach some of the most important ideas and practices of sustainability. He is a visionary as well as a grounded, clear and engaging educator as well as walking the talk with real poise and integrity. If you want a powerful set of conceptual and
practical tools to make your commitment to a sustainable future effective, I highly recommend his courses."

Hello,
I would like to let you know about some upcoming events which address issues of sustainability. Toby Hemenway, author of the best selling Gaia's Garden- A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture is coming to town. He is an articulate speaker on ecological design and permaculture. Permaculture is the use of ecology as the basis for designing integrated systems of food production, housing, appropriate technology, and community development. It is built upon an ethic of caring for the earth and interacting with the environment in mutually beneficial ways. With the many environmental concerns we face permaculture is timely and has some useful and fascinating insights into how we can think and design anything from our houses and backyards to our neighborhoods, businesses and cities. It began in the 1970s, originally being applied to the 20 acre homestead, but more and more the ideals, ideas and methods of permaculture can and are being applied to the urban and suburban ecologies. He offers both vision and practical solutions in his lectures and workshops. It would be wonderful if you could list the events below on your event calendar. Also, if you know of any other organizations or people who you think would be interested please pass this on.
Thank you,
Faith Van De Putte
