Bay Area Spark Collective
Workshops and Chanting Circle

Presented by   James Bianchi

415-824-4220

Come enjoy the FireDance community and find another home in the Bay Area for your heart songs, your dance, your poetry, your music.  You do not have to be a good singer.  You do not have to know a single chant.  Just bring your enthusiasm and your spark.  The Bay Area Spark Collective is a new flame, kindled from embers carried home from fire circles around the country an intentional community group that meets monthly to celebrate spirit, community, and each other.  Workshops begin at 1:00 pm.  Pot luck supper begins at 4:00 pm.  The sacred circle opens the doors at 6:30 pm.  Participants introduce themselves and share their magic;  the four directions are called in;  a chant is sung;  and a sacred play begins.  From here on out, anything can happen:  drumming, a song, a poem, dancing, magic, drawing, writing, massage, deep trance.  As participants take their turns around the circle, they stir the container and mix in their magic to create a synergistic miracle in the space.  Everyone listens to what the moment needs.  Around 9:30 pm the energy of the circle rises to a fever pitch and then sweetly winds down.  The circle is closed with a chant, an "Om," that releases the four directions and plenty of hugs.

Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club

Monthly Meeting

Presented by   Jack Kurzweil 

510-549-2696

This is the monthly meeting of the Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club (WDRC).  The Club works to renew and reform the Democratic Party.  The evening begins with a social hour and delicious pot luck supper at 6:00 pm -- bring your favorite healthy dish to share!  At 7:00 pm the Club begins its program and all guests of the evening, members and non-members alike, are invited to participate in the discussions.

 

This evening's program includes three legislators from the State of California legislature in Sacramento.  California's Assemblymembers Nancy Skinner and Sandre Swanson and Senator Loni Hancock will talk on overturning the California legislative 2/3 rule and the ballot initiatives for California's special election, May 19.  The structurally dysfunctional budget process of the State of California cannot continue.  It has failed the people of California.  Year after year the California budget process has been delayed and distorted due to the constitutionally required 2/3 vote to pass the budget.  The result has been deep and damaging cuts to education and social safety services, a weakening of labor and environmental laws, additional borrowing, and the placement of constitutional amendments on the state ballot that have nothing to do with the budget.  This process has led California on a downward spiral of inadequate education, decaying infrastructure, and loss of public confidence in California.  A new bill, SCA 5, would bring accountability, efficiency, and democracy back to the budget process by changing the 2/3 requirement for passing the Budget Bill to a simple majority.

This evening's seminar focuses on self-discovery.  The Master Motivator, Rabboni Selah, specializes in training techniques in self-motivation and stress management.  Rabboni teaches principles of self-mastery:  mastery of the life in which one lives and mastery of the universe to which all things belong.  Books and tapes by Rabboni Selah, produced by Master Concepts Unlimited, have inspired thousands across America, helping them to understand their birthright to achieve health and longevity, fullness of life, freedom of spirit, and prosperity.  Rabboni's teachings have a humanistic orientation;  there is no appealing to supernatural forces for solving our problems for us we can do it ourselves, we are capable ourselves.
