to zero-point
DEAR FRIENDS,
i am writing to you with a sense of gravity that cannot be ignored.
it is now the last week of june and though the energy and enthusiasm
of those who love zero-point has been fantastic, the truth is that we
need a significant amount of money to make rent at the end of this
month.
we had previously relied on rentals of the space making a third of our
costs, and that, because of the sound complaint, has been made
impossible. our transition has been quick and with great heart, but
we must make the necessary money to continue.
the future looks bright if we can just get through this transition.
anything you donate under $249 can be written off for tax purposes,
and donations now will ensure that we can continue on.
if you don't have money in that amount, we have many workshops
available for $15 - $10: two this saturday! AND an evening of in our
13 moon series from 6pm on. you will see the info below. (also check
out the future offerings on our calendar at www.zeropointspace.org).
there is also a fantastic yoga class sunday!
please open your hearts / donate time or energy, it will come back to
you a hundred fold in experiences that are the core vibrant part of
our living.
saturday i experienced toni pope's theta healing workshop, and it
opened my perception up in ways i had not yet experienced. her class
is being offered again for only $15 - $10 this saturday, and i highly
recommend it.
if you have had memorable times here, have delighted in the
environment and people, please know that now is the time to give. i
have never asked for donations like this, but we have never had this
urgency.
thank you so much for your involvement, and if you have any ideas to
help us in this next week, please feel free to contact me...
sadly, but with blazing hope...
christie.

JUNE 28TH 1-3 pm
PHILLIP STERNS - WORKSHOP
"Simplified Gardening: Against Biotech Agribusiness"
Food is as necessary as air and water for the maintaining of the body,
the house of the soul. As times have progressed, we have become
further separated from the source of our food, and it has become
increasingly processed in order to keep up with demands of peoples
living a life that is faster paced than ever. There was a time when
we had an intimate relationship with the land. It is not difficult to
see how that relationship has changed when we read the ingredients on
the back of a microwave dinner. We have alienated ourselves from
nature's way in order to pursue our own desires by exchanging our
faith in the ability of nature to adequately provide for a dependence
on the fruits of intellect and reason to dominate and control. You
can see the true nature of a civilization by the way in which it feeds
its people. It is food and its acquisition, or production, after all,
which lies at its very foundation.
In "Simplified Gardening: Against Biotech Agribusiness" we'll take 3
hours to examine and discuss topics as broad as the source of life and
as specific as the ingredients in the world's most popular herbicides,
all starting from the basic principles behind "Do Nothing Farming"
developed by Masanobu Fukuoka, author of "The One-Straw Revolution".
From there, we'll look into some common methods of growing on smaller
plots of land and in containers, and study traditional methods of pest
and weed control via companion planting. After which we will examine
some of the modern techniques of cultivation. All the usual boring
lecture techniques, i.e. slide show, movie clips, and Q and A sessions
will be present, but when it's all over, your head will be filled with
a strong foundation of knowledge to being a lifelong practice in
natural gardening.
$15 (nonmembers) $10 members
**************************************
JUNE 28TH: 4 - 5:30 pm
Theta - Sound Healing Workshop
such positive experience: don't miss this INTERACTIVE session!
Alpha - Lucid dreaming while awake similar to “Daydreaming”
Beta - Everyday activity, media airwaves etc., can be toxic to
maintain holistic health
Theta - An inner / intuitive state, prior to sleeping or when invoked
Delta - Deep restful sleep
Gamma - Conscious cosmic soup - a general “social psychology” we’re
all tapped into
The Theta Sound Healing Workshop consists of primordial vocals and
instruments that naturally place the human brain into a theta like
patterning. These instruments include East Indian electric Tambura,
Australian Aborigines didgeridoo, and Tibetan singing bowls. Once
heard, the listener automatically begins to relax, the brain becomes
calm, as the essence of the total being of the listener is
replenished.
As instruments are played and at various moments during the session
Toni Pope will offer and provide primordial vocals. Primordial vocals
include throat-singing/harmonic singing, micro-tonation, and multi-
phonetical voicings - i.e. producing multiple tones simultaneously.
Toni is a voice and sound practitioner who carries a unique ability to
channel sacred dimensions of sound using her voice and theta sounding
instruments.
During the course of the session intuitive concepts of voice and sound
instruction will be given, as well as the opportunity to utilize the
voice as a sacred sounding instrument. Concepts such as toning,
harmonic singing, deep inner listening, and concsious breath work will
be discussed and practiced. The benefits of this workshop vocal
inhibition, voice placement , tone placement, toning, and tone
isolation/multi-
phonetical singing
$15 (nonmembers) $10 members

love & ruckus.
this is the process of making the human mark into the earth, but it is
proper to exist in balance. this is not only a metaphor, but the
beauty of it is that it extends, as the curl of a new tendril, out to
the farthest and ultimate cyclic now. so this is important to know
about, to explore, to ponder, to look at from different directions, to
head in new directions, to put things into perspective and enjoy the
work necessary to cultivate.
in our current urban living, we must find ways to reconnect with the
elemental, in our bodies, our work, our food, with our fellow living
beings, and our metaphysical and critical aspects. this begins with
the child as artist: making things through a state of wonder, but now
is the time to cultivate that human urge to create / make art in all
forms : and know that this is our world too, and we are part of it.
it is also the cult of culture. it is the bravery of us to say that
we can make our own culture, our own symbolic way or description or
names for sacred or release or regeneration. it is the right of
people to have rituals that nourish and speak with language they have
had a hand in forming. it is different than before because it is
now. that's all.
cultivation is mostly about absorbing and emitting energy. to behave
with wisdom in our daily lives.
this evening / event / re-opened warehouse warming
is to foster.
it is about people, celebrating and mourning,
powerful forces of will and belief, knowing that there will be that
one good spot
and all the work will be worth it.
and these will go in cycles
constantly.
CULTIVATION is a $5 - $10 one evening membership
or FREE for members

Crystal DAngora - WORKSHOP
June 29th 1pm
Chakra Balance Kundalini Yoga –
Experience the transformational power of Kundalini yoga and
meditation, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, to tune our precious vehicles
and balance all systems of our Being via the Chakras. Return to
Source through physical movement, breath, and mantra, supported and
surrounded by the elements of nature. With Chakra balancing yoga we
use the color spectrum imagery connected to each Chakra (from Root to
Crown) to harmonize and align our complete selves. We will ride the
wave between strength and flexibility, exertion and relaxation, and
chaos and stillness to find the “Union” within that is Yoga. Crystal
combines 6 years as a teacher and 13 years in practice, an eclectic
background in theater, dance, Kundalini, Pilates and Hatha yoga, to
create a holistic fusion of physical expression. She currently
teaches adults and children at Golden Bridge and in her own Los
Angeles studio. http://www.crystalyogaandpilates.com/
$15 with a $10-$12 discount rate for members!
