What is Dynamic Facilitation? In both organizations and communities, this non-linear, systemic approach can help us address difficult issues in collaborative and constructive ways; catalyze the shift from polarization to greater shared understanding; evoke group self-alignment around new possibilities.
Who can benefit? Everyone is welcome, especially anyone who works with groups! Community organizers, facilitators, mediators, teachers, managers and leaders.
Registration is required. Visit www.EugeneDynamic.eventbrite.com to register

Yoga for Optimal Health
Astrid Wolf-O'hern offers a new six-week series! Dates: Tuesdays, April 24 to May 29 & Wednesdays, April 25 to May 30 from 10:15 to 11:30 am.
"We will be discussing key elements of a yoga practice as well as optimal sequencing of poses. This will give you a deeper understanding of various poses and their health benefits and in addition help you move towards developing a home practice. Building a home practice is one of the most challenging endeavors a student of yoga can embark on and this six week series will help you lay the ground work for this journey. You will be able to ponder your goals and then explore ways to meet those goals. At the end of the series, you will have developed a yoga plan specifically tailored to your needs and aspirations. Along the way, we have much room for exploration and growth in our understanding of the healing powers that yoga can unleash. All levels of yoga experience are welcome." -- Astrid

DoRePlay presents Music Together!
Music and movement classes for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and the grownups who love them. Our mixed-age classes create a family environment where children engage and gain basic musical competence through play. Parents will learn how to model and encourage musical development at home. In a culture that focuses on consuming music, we encourage active participation in making music. Making music together builds stronger families and stronger communities. So come sing, clap, chant, dance, and jam Mondays at 10:30 am!
Building Soil for the Garden
Perhaps you've noticed that the yard in front is no longer a yard and well on it's way to becoming a neighborhood garden. With the help of neighbors Sherry Wellborn (a force of nature in her own right), David Stucky, and Erik Muller among others, we've layered cardboard, leaves, manure and compost to get our garden started. There will be vegetable beds, flower beds, berry bushes, dwarf fruit trees, honeybees, compost piles, and a greenhouse!
Our plan is to share this "urban farm" with our neighbors. Perhaps you'd like to get an early start with veggies in the greenhouse. Perhaps you'd like the taste of local honey. Perhaps a blueberry pie is in your future. Or perhaps you'll just want to come sit on one of the many benches we'll scatter around the garden. We won't be charging anything for sharing this resource with our neighborhood . . . but we'd sure appreciate a bit of physical labor, and maybe an occasional donation to help pay the water bill. Come check it out!
