10 / 11 The Ecology of Leadership Start: 9:30 am End: 5:00 pm UPCOMING PROGRAMS: October 2008 - February 2009 Commonweal Garden, Bolinas, CA and Santa Barbara, CA INSTRUCTORS: James Stark and Christopher Kuntzsch "Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead Introduction As we face the challenges of our changing world, many people are searching for avenues to make a difference - to play a part in transforming our families, communities, and the greater world in which we live. Each one of us has the potential to bring forth our gifts, develop the tools we need to make a difference, and live up to our own leadership potential so we can be of service. Whether you have prior experience and training, or if have recently felt called to step onto a path of leadership for the first time, this program provides a unique opportunity to deeply explore who you are, who you wish to be, and how you will contribute to others. You will articulate your vision, get in deeper touch with your gifts and develop new tools, routines, mindsets and skills to be more effective in manifesting what you see for yourself and the world. more info

Matt Berry, who has been practicing and teaching primitive skills and nature awareness for over a decade, blends his passion and expertise in field biology, primitive skills, horticulture and Permaculture. After spending some time with Matt, you may never look at the weeds in the corner of your garden or the oak trees in your neighborhood the same way again! This year, we offer a series of seasonal Wild Food Walks, as well as, day long skill intensives. These classes will not only help to build your wildcrafting skills, but also deepen your connection with the natural world. Classes are intended for adults, however children are welcome at a reduced fee if accompanied by a parent. more info
