I am hoping to have a PLANT TREES free shirt printing camp at Burning
Man decompression,
where folks can print on a blank shirt of their choosing, or print on
the shirt on their back...
... and am seeking donations:
Blank shirts: if you work retail or know of seconds, or surplus shirts,
most important.
If you have silk screen ink to donate,
Propane tanks and a heater element, to cure the ink.
I can pick up anytime, anywhere... Preferably SF/Palo Alto/ Bay Area/

Creative Life Principles
0: Believe nothing, entertain possibilities
(therefore everything therafter is offered playfully)
1: Imagination lays the tracks for reality to follow
2: Better to create prophecy than to live prediction
(whatever makes us passive is toxic. whatever makes us active is tonic.
this is the difference between predictions which make us passive and
prophecy which is active co-creation with the Divine.
3: The Invisible world would like to help us but spiritual etiquette
requires that we ask.
(help is always available-operators are standing by)
4:if something is a problem, make it bigger
(blow it up really big and then look at it)
5:we only possess the power of an insight when we give it expression
6: creativity comes from the wedding of Paradox
(we aspire to be Disciplined Wild People who are Radical
Traditionalists)
(some words of wisdom to be passed amongst the tribes......)sharing our
hearts together......... akasha

Sunday, October 24th: THE BIG BAY AREA HOOP DAY!
We want everybody on this list to show up in Dolores Park in San
Francisco for one afternoon of incredible hooping. Can you imagine
Dolores Park filled with 120 hoopers? Can you imagine the look on the
faces of everyone in the vicinity as we swarm Dolores Park and turn
it into Hooper Heaven? Isn't it beautiful? This is the one Sunday we
want you to get to even if you haven't shown up for anything in
months or ever. Everybody come hoop! We really want to get a sound
system for the day too. Does anybody have one or know of a good cheap
rental resource for something that'll play cds and blast some volume?
Bring finger food to share. Totally free day, possible donation to
cover the sound system.
Sunday, October 31st: Halloween Hooping in the Castro
We're delaying our usual hoop time until 7:00 and meeting at Castro
and 19th for Halloween hoola-hooping in costume. In recent years the
DJ station near 19th on Castro Street has been the best and if
something changes this year we'll relocate. We'll hoop until we
collapse or we are overrun by the mob. Probably a $3 donation to
enter the neighborhood.
Well gang, that's October. We hope to see you throughout the month
and we look forward to giving the opportunity to be of service to
this group to someone else for November.
Happy Hooping,
Philo and Vera
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7
Art Opening for HYPERPOP
Rx: 132 Eddy Street
Thrush's meticulously crafted paintings begin as an amalgamation of
iconography culled from the annals of advertising and pop culture. His
intense palette of brightly chosen "mega-brands" coagulate and compete
with each other to express themselves amidst a generational comedy of
errors which often address the artist's own psychological and
sociological concerns. Thrush's humor and provocation, through the
juxtaposition of these familiar images into ironic often harmonious
circumstances, creates a dynamic interrogation of what has become the
standard denominator of life in America: television, advertising and
mass media. "Hyperpop" runs from through November 6. Gallery hours:
Tues/Weds. 12-5pm, Thurs/Fri. 2pm -2am
6:00pm - 9:00pm
FREE

Join Cory Richardson, the Dragonfly Therapist, at Sacred Space healing
and retreat center (776 Haight @ Scott in San Fran) 1pm-5pm Friday, oct
8th for an afternoon of creative self-exploration in the garden.
The dragonfly is symbolic of transformation. It spends the first two
years of life under water as a nymph, bogged down in the bog, and looks
nothing like the beautiful being it will become. Not until it has
developed is it free to fly.
Before a person has a passion through which to focus energy, or a
mission that provides a sense of purpose, they may find themselves
feeling bored in school, working an unsatisfying job, struggling with
an addiction or even locked in a cell. The problem is often not a lack
of intelligence or physical ability, but simply not seeing a clear
picture of their potential or believing they can attain it.
To gain a sense of direction and positive self-image, it is helpful to
have a clear vision. Take time to view your inner landscape. Slow down.
Be still. Gaze inward. Listen to your heart. Take stock of your values,
interests, relationships, and skills both acquired and desired. What do
you want to know? What do you love to do? What do you want your life to
look like? How will you spread your wings and fly?
The Dragonfly Workshop is much more than an exercise that creates a
beautiful art object, participants weave meaning into their creation
and bead a spell that facilitates a journey of self-exploration
resulting in a powerful symbolic reminder of one ’s potential life
path.
To help guide the participant on this inward journey, they will answer
questions uncovering clues to their destination, read messages left by
other travelers offering insightful views, pick up keys leading to
exciting opportunities, and write journal entries to record their
findings.
This work shop is $15 (materials included). Visit
www.solomax.com/dlfys.html to see examples of the dragonlfies and call
Cory if you have any questions 818-331-9707.
o learn a lot... go where you know nothing!
Be inspired and entertained... Join SoloMAX on an kayak journey from
Vancouver to Central Mexico... through a mosaic of captivating images
corresponding to music and poetic narration sharing experiences and
insights focused on personal goal setting and environmental awareness.
It's a trip!
9pm, friday. Admission free, donations please.

"Your world is only as big as you know. Open your mind by expanding the
horizon. Step away from society ’s noise and haste. Free yourself from
cages of steel, concrete and glass. Go slow, get close, you ’ll see
more. Go FAR OUT into open spaces to gain a wider perspective."
Then afterward... join Anusha and friends for a Massage, Sauna and Hot
Tub Party.
Come in and enjoy the gorgeous Garden Sauna two 15 min Massage samples
for only $25. The Hot Tub will also be available for $10 extra. The
sauna is the nicest in San Francisco, it is both a wet and dry sauna
and is complete with internet streaming audio. The Hot Tub is probably
the only chemical Free ( Ozone, ionized copper and enzymes) Hot Tub in
San Francisco. Sun Charged Water and treats will be available.

Boycott for Equality
Friday, October 8, 2004
http://www.boycottforequality.org/
This is a call for a nation-wide boycott in the traditions of Gandhi
and Dr. Martin Luther King. We are asking all GLBT Americans and their
Straight Allies to "drop out" of the United States economy for one day
to demonstrate that we are vital and important members of our
communities with significant economic presence. There are four elements
to the boycott: withdraw from work, withdraw from your ATM, withdraw
from commerce and withdraw from cell phone communication.
