Reverence: Being Alive in the Sacred and Accountable to the All?

hubbe002 — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:01:46 +0000

Is reverence about being alive in the sacred and being accountable to the all?

Does reverence precede religion?

If the basis of reverence originates from "do unto others as they would do unto you", does reverence exist?

The purpose of this class is to openly and deeply explore the true sacredness of reverence and bringing reverence into the place of a daily, ongoing process.

Basic Bike Maintenance at Sibley Bike Depot (March)

micahthompson — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:26:49 +0000

This class is designed as a complete introduction to the basics of maintaining your bicycle yourself. Learning to fix your own bike can save you money, ensure access to reliable transportation, and be a rewarding personal experience to understand how your vehicle functions. Participants aren’t expected to know anything beforehand – the only thing you need to bring is your lovely selves, your bike if you want, and a creative desire to learn!

In addition to providing technical explanations and building mechanical knowledge and confidence, this class will attempt to provide a basic overview of the role of community bike shops throughout the country and world, as we work to build sustainable transportation movements locally and globally.

Occupy Support Class

mmandregg — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:24:21 +0000

This Class will combine chit chat about theories of social change with strictly practical efforts to support Occupy Minnesota activities at the Hennepin County Government Center and elsewhere. The basic deal will be that people who attend class are expected to do something helpful and practical for the cause that next week as well. Classes will focus on figuring out one easy thing that anyone can do that week while coordinating longer term and more comprehensive efforts that are generated by class participants organized into teams for that purpose.

The instructor is an adjunct professor of justice and peace studies at the University of St. Thomas, so he is experienced with both the chit-chat side and the practical side of social change efforts. The effort to accomodate academic interests will be real, but subordinate to doing practically useful things for Occupy instead of JUST chit-chat. "Never a meeting without an action" will be a representative goal adopted from WAMM (Women Against Miltary Madness). Connectivity to other peace groups in town will be natural, like especially with the Veteran's for Peace who have been very present for Occupy Minnesota.

Class will meet each Thursday evening for 1 - 2 hours to prepare whatever help for Occupy will occur that week.

Facilitator's experience:

Dr. Andregg has taught at the U of MN for 30 years, at the U of St. Thomas for 20 years in justice and peace studies, and for EXCO about 3 times in prior years. He is also a social change activist, has overnighted at Occupy MN, and recognizes the rare grass roots energy of a year when protestors toppled governments in North Africa and worried them in North America. Time has called "Protestors" the people of the year this year -- this class aims to help our local protestors in several small ways.

Wheelbuilding at Sibley Bike Depot (January)

micahthompson — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:18:45 +0000

This class is designed as a complete introduction to the basics of wheel building. We are posting this class late, but if we have sufficient interest we will start the first class with lacing rims. The second class will entail bringing the wheel up to tension and truing it radially and laterally. It is okay if you don't understand what this means we will start at the beginning. No prior knowledge is necessary, however, it will be useful to understand the basics of truing.

We will be following Gerd Shraner's method feel free to peruse his book http://www.icelord.net/bike/ArtOfWheelbuilding.pdf

I am going to push this into January because not enough people registered in time. Please let me know if you would like to join us.

micahthompson — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:24:13 +0000

This intermediate class will build upon the skills taught in the Basic Bike Maintenance class and expand through overhauling an entire bicycle. It's recommended that students have taken the Basic class or have a similar beginning familiarity with bicycle repair. Participants will take apart, clean, and repack all bearing systems, including hubs, headsets, and bottom brackets. In addition, the will install new cables and housing on brakes and derailleurs as needed, and lubricate/adjust all shifting systems. In full, folks attending this class will learn how to perform a complete tune-up/overhaul of a bicycle. Participants will work with the same bike through the class, in order to see the complexities and intricacies of one specific bicycle. Note: All class participants will fix up SHOP BIKES during this class! Bikes fixed up will go into one of Sibley's many community programs designed to promote biking!

The class will be 4 Thursdays: January 5, 12, 19, & 29 from 6:30-9pm each day.

Please contact me with any questions!
