Potential

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.

Thursday, March 29, 2012 - 17:00 - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - 15:30

Description: For those interested in restoring urban and abused land using native and perennial edible plants.

This workshop is for those interested in healing some of the abused landscape we find ourselves in. This healing included returning land to a state more similar to the natural landscape of northern climates while serving utility to creatures who live in the urban area, particularly those of hominid ancestry (who currently have difficulty procuring energy from plants in their immediate surroundings and/or without assistance of oil-based and oppressive technologies) as well as the many creatures displaced by humans.

The goal of this group is to appropriate abused land (such as land that has been paved over or plauged by non-native plants) using native, wild and perennial plants native to the region.

This workshop will be run using consensus decision-making and rotating facilitation (see http://anarchistu.org/Anarchistu/DiscussionOfConsensusDecisionMaking or http://www.seedsforchange.org.uk/free/resources#grp), therefore the direction and scheduling of the workshop is ultimately up to those participating (though the workshop is intended for those interested in actually tending to the land, not only talking about it).

A preliminary schedule may look like this:

Meeting 1 (Early March)
Introductions, experience with land restoration/gardening/etc., goals or mission statement for group, identify land for restoration, discussion of potential resources for plants/soil/tools/storage, plan frequency of coming meetings.

Meeting 2 (mid-March)
Debrief meeting 1, report backs, discuss and implement gathering and housing of resources.

Meeting 3 (early April)
Debrief previous meetings, layout plantings for the land, continue resource gathering

Meeting 4 (mid-April)
Debrief previous meetings, continued planting layout, begin sprouting of any plants from seed indoors, discussion of the current food system.

Meeting 5 (late April)

Facilitator's experience:

All participants are potential facilitators.

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.

Rhythm in the 20th Century

ted.moore — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:53:22 +0000

Rhythm in the 20th Century explores the many varieties of rhythm in popular, jazz, and classical music in the last century. Students will learn the development and characteristics of Louis Armstrong’s swing, Steve Reich’ minimalism, John Coltrane’s free jazz, Igor Stravinsky’s primitivism, Oliver Messiaen’ isorhythm, John Cage’s aleatoricism, Hip-Hop artists’ beats, and others. Class preparation will include thought provoking reading assignments and critical listening. Class sessions will include equal parts of discussion, lecture, and listening.

Music fans of all levels are invited. Course work will be oriented towards listening and discussion. Some scores will be analyzed; a basic understanding of music notation will be useful, but is certainly not required. Readings and recordings will be made available to students via the Internet or, by request, on disc.

Sunday, February 12, 2012 - 12:00 - 14:00

Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 12:00 - 14:00

Description: Three consecutive workshops on winter gardening skills, food justice theory and action

The mission of this workshop series is to connect with our community and enhance our skills and knowledge about healthy food production and accessibility.

All workshops run from 12-2pm at the Minnehaha Free Space, 3458 Minnehaha Ave., Minneapolis MN 55406 (on the #7 bus line, near #21, #23 and light rail)

Are you interested in building more resilient, sustainable and just communities? Over three Sunday workshops, FOOD FEBRUARY will merge the theory and practice of food justice. Together, we'll grow the conversation by learning from people already getting their hands dirty in the Twin Cities. No matter if you have little experience or a lot, come to connect with others, share knowledge, and nurture community sustainability.

Each workshop will build off the others, but can also be attended individually.

February 5 – WINTER GARDENING SKILLS
Learn about winter gardening, including how to grow small herbs and microgreens and how to sprout at home. This workshop will give practical tips for building sustainability at home.

February 12 – FOOD JUSTICE THEORY
This second workshop will transition from self-sustainability to the systems that affect access to food. Join local food justice activists to converse about why our communities often lack culturally appropriate, affordable and nutritious food with which to sustain ourselves.

February 19 – ACTION!
Come to this final workshop to explore what's being done locally to put food justice theory and practice to work for solidarity, not just charity. Bradi Baker from Project Sweetie Pie, an urban gardening program for North Minneapolis youth, will share her experiences teaching about growing our own food and reconnecting with the land in a culturally appropriate way.

Facilitator's experience:

South Side Free Skool is a chapter of EXCO that puts on workshop series focused on basic human needs, connecting with outside community members and using hands-on and theory-based learning techniques.

"Games" for Facilitators, Teachers and Learners

bjhokanson — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:43:24 +0000

This class is a space to share your best games!

Introductions, icebreakers, energizers, team exercises, transitions, idea generators, theatre tools... often, participants in a class, meeting or workshop just recognize them as "games." But these games have a purpose! Beside putting some much-needed fun into the work, these activities tap into learning channels that are often neglected in traditional classrooms, and can bring out the best in a group's creative energy.

Here's how this class works: I'll facilitate a couple activities to kick off the class... and then leave it up to the you and the other participants. You should bring a favorite activity and be prepared to lead the group through it. The only requirements are: 1) You think it'll be fun, 2) Other participants will be able to "take it home" and do it with another group, and 3) It can be done in 15 minutes or less (but can take longer if the group doesn't want to stop). We'll take turns sharing and learning from everyone's games, and you'll leave with a brand new set of activities for your toolbox/toy chest.

A week before the class, I'll email all registered participants a PDF with some fun activities, to get your ideas going (but the best game to bring is the one you know and you'll have the most fun with!), and with a confirmation of your registration. Then, at the first class meeting, we'll collectively decide if and when we want to make "games day" a regular occurrence, and if so, set the schedule.

I encourage other EXCO facilitators, teachers in any setting, and anyone who's ever sat through a deadly dull meeting to register for this class, steal the game ideas and use them on your own!

Questions? Please email or call. Thanks for reading! --Jaime

Improvised Contact Between Luminous Beings

ryanpusch — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:47:04 +0000

Contact improvisation, according to wikipedia, is defined as: "a dance technique in which points of physical contact provide the starting point for exploration through movement improvisation...one of the best-known and most characteristic forms of postmodern dance."

According to my friend Lisa, contact improvisation is "a bunch of [wierdos] rolling around on each other"

I would define contact as a way to develop, through exercises of physical and mental meditation, an appreciation of the sensitivity, strength, softness, familiarity and unpredictability of our bodies and, consequently, the bodies of others. I would argue that the purpose of contact is to explore the expectation which our bodies' movements and habits conform to, and find the edges of those expectations to peel away the layers that insulate us from one another.

The individual and cooperative efforts by which these exercises take place are as diverse and meaningful as the attitudes of the participants. The code of contact is that no participant is ever obligated to take part in any exercise that they are not comfortable with, and anyone may join in or step back from these exercises as they see fit. Of course, the Tao Te Ching says (paraphrased) "Opposition is growth," and thus it should be noted, that every offering that participants bring to this class will be rewarded.

Facilitator's experience:

Ryan Pusch is new to contact improvisation, new to dance, and new to teaching. He's a patient person. He's extremely excited by the prospect of increasing accessibility and contributing to the creativity of the contact community in the twin cities.

Finding Your Voice Online

Jay Gabler — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:12:41 +0000

"Carrie Daklin is mad as hell and doesn't want to take it anymore," begins a column by Ruben Rosario. Want to keep reading? You bet. That's because Rosario always writes with voice, with attitude, with a passion that grabs the reader. Journalism prof Carrie Brown-Smith writes: "Voice doesn’t HAVE TO mean less facts or more ill-informed ranting ... there’s still hard-hitting reporting, but the person behind the story isn’t completely hidden. If anything, the biases they are trying (often to little avail) to hide are instead transparently represented to the audience and become part and parcel of their expertise rather than a liability." If you want to work on livening up your writing, join us for Finding Your Voice, a two-hour workshop at the Daily Planet office on January 11, 7-9 p.m. Register ahead of time, and e-mail instructor Mary Turck (editor@tcdailyplanet.net) samples of your writing — something boring you'd like to improve or something with voice that you'd like to brag about.

Course tuition is $10; scholarships are available for students to whom this fee is a burden. Register at thedatabank.com:

Performance & Poetry

JP Hansen — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:32:34 +0000

This class will listen and view poetry in performance—audio, film, and live. The Twin Cities is a hotbed for this type of poetry, and we will take advantage of this opportunity.

Performance poetry takes many forms: highly dramatic reading, spoken word, hip hop, even types of singing. All will be explored.

We will discuss and, perhaps, critique the performances. We will also bring in performance poets to help us better understand their art and the art form in general.

Finally, we will do our own writing and performing. Nobody will be asked to do something they don't feel comfortable with, but some sharing will be encouraged. If desired, a class members may receive critique from me or their classmates either in a public discussion or privately.

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.

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.

Programming & Design

gavin — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:16:01 +0000

Enrollment is now active. Feel free to email / tweet / +1 / blog or repost this url so we can get some more signups.

No location has been set but we have options. Before class is officially nailed down to dates I would like to have a meet up with all interested students where we can talk about locations and ideas about what people are looking for in this class.

This is an experimental course designed to cover all aspects of web design and development in one program. The goal is to be project orientated and quickly move from basics into advanced topics like programming and interface design.

The goal is to have classes every other Saturday (dates not finalized) for three hours. Then two to three hours of "take home" work. This course should be about six hours a week.

It is important to have students that understand how to use a computer (how to get pictures off their camera, how to “google” things, how to check their bank statements online, how to install software) but you do not need to have any formal training to take this class. We will be starting at the bottom.

Traditional Artisans: Preserving the Folk School Education

Workshop date(s) & time(s):

Sunday, October 30, 2011 - 12:00 - 21:00

Description: Traditional Artisans for the Preservation of Traditional Crafts

Apprenticeship once offered an individual the opportunity to learn a craft from masters of that craft. Nowadays, apprenticeship is difficult to come by, which is precisely why this workshop/class/school/folk festival is being created. The purpose of this workshop/class/school/folk festival is to bring together the skills of old to pass them on to others in an effort to preserve the beauty of not only the craft but the culture of the craft. If you are interested in traditional skills/crafts, we welcome you to join this workshop. When enough interest is generated, we will begin offering opportunities to learn the following skills and begin planning our own Folk Festival - complete with an evening barn dance!?!:

Spoon/Knife Carving
A Spoonful of Creativity: Learn to Carve a Wooden Spoon and/or Cheese Knife
October 30, 2011; 12-5ish (material fee ~$30, beginners and experienced carvers are welcome)
Class size will be ~10 apprentices/professional instructor with additional craftspeople available to assist. Bring a high quality, sharp knife (Mora Knifes are great!)

Many folk traditions include the carving of beautiful spoons for use at home and as treasured gifts. The purpose of this class is to pass on that tradition by sharing the joy of learning traditional knife strokes and carving techniques to carve your own beautiful, durable and useable wooden spoon and/or butter/cheese knife! This class will begin with a brief presentation on spoons from across the world while you prepare to carve a useable spoon and/or knife. While you carve, the instructor will share mesmerizing folk tales and discuss woodcarving topics such as sharpening, decorating, finishing and design techniques. Feel free to bring your new and old wooden spoons to share. We will have some tools for student use and additional spoon blanks for sale.

Facilitator's experience:

Jim is a professional woodturner, incorporating traditional slöyd handwork and techniques. Fred is a professional woodsmith with extensive experience in Swedish crafts. Tom is a professional woodsmith with extensive experience in Scandinavian and European rural crafts, emphasizing on green woodworking. Steve is a professional engineer who dreams of becoming as proficient in the wood working trades as the other facilitators.

Building an Earth Oven

josh.tolkan — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 02:56:16 +0000

I would like to organize a class to build an earth oven. I have done this before but never here in Minneapolis.

We will start with a classroom session talking about the science behind earth plaster construction and thermal mass cooking. Then we will build the oven over a series of approximately 8 sessions.

This class is early in formation. In order to make it work and do it cheaply, we will need to find:

1) somebody who has a whole lot of clay soil that we can remove from their yard
One Possible way to do this is by building a raingarden for someone. In building the rain garden we can extract lots of clay soil.

2) Find someone who owns some land nearby who would like an earth oven. Anyone?

3) Find someone with a truck who can haul clay and sand for us.

Until we find these things we will not set a date for this class. However, if you are excited about this please feel free to contact me. Lets work together to find the resources we need to make this happen. It is possible if it takes a long time figuring these logistics out we will do this class spring semester. In the meantime, lets work together to track down what we need, and maybe build that rain garden.

There is also a possibility that this class will be done in collaboration with the Environmental Justice Advocates of Minnesota (EJAM). They are starting a grassroots natural building campaign with North Minneapolis residents

Kiswahili Discussion Circle

this discussion group would be ideal for people who are either trying to brush up on speaking Swahili or who haven't yet had much exposure to Swahili but are serious about learning (e.g., you have plans to travel to East Africa). for beginners, we can offer some basic materials; however, the learning curve will be sharp.

people who have taken Swahili through St. Paul community education along with a local person who has briefly lived in Tanzania have committed themselves to help form the core of the discussion group... so this IS happening.

Loneliness, Depression, Anxiety, and Death: Our Existential Predicament

parkx032 — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 16:31:42 +0000

LONELINESS, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND DEATH:

OUR EXISTENTIAL PREDICAMENT

Have you noticed a loneliness that cannot be solved by love?
Are you sometimes aware of a depression not caused by circumstances?
Do you have free-floating existential anxiety?
Is your 'fear of death' out of proportion to the actual threat?
These 4 and 7 other similar phenomena will be explored in this electronic group.
Our method of exploration is looking deeply into ourselves.

This cyber-seminar will take place by means of an already-established Yahoo Group
called The Existential Freedom Group.
Each month, beginning as soon as 10 people have the book and are ready to discuss it,
we will read and discuss one chapter from a book called:
Our Existential Predicament:
Loneliness, Depression, Anxiety, and Death.

Over 50 pages from this book can be read on the Internet.
Just click the title above.
Students and faculty at the University of Minnesota
will find this book in Wilson Library.
And the publisher—Existential Books—offers to donate this book
to any public or academic library that will agree to put it on the shelves.
(Here are the details about this offer of free books for libraries.)

Readers who would prefer to own a copy
should buy it directly from the publisher.

Are You a Person of Spirit? Six Capacities of Our Human Spirits

ARE YOU A PERSON OF SPIRIT?
SIX CAPACITIES OF OUR HUMAN SPIRITS

Name of facilitator:

course description:

Shorter and longer course descriptions will be found here:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~parkx032/D-SPIRIT.html

Being together with other persons of spirit can help us to tune-in to our higher capacities.
In the first meeting we will attempt to define and distinguish these four dimensions of our selves:

(1) our physical dimension
(given by our genes);

(2) our emotional-psychological dimension
(learned since birth);

(3) our intellectual dimension
(characterized by words, verbal learning);

(4) our spiritual dimension
(beyond body, heart, and mind; manifest in the following 6 capacities).

Our human spirits show themselves in these six phenomena:

(1) self-transcendence, self-criticism, and altruism;

(2) freedom—our ability to shape our own lives;

(3) creativity—our ability to bring something new into being;

(4) love—which opens us to encountering others as Thou;

(5) anxiety—which puts us in touch with our underlying Malaise;

(6) joy and fulfillment—opening to living beyond angst and despair.

Because the life of our spirits is so fragile, it is very easy to ignore the budding of our spirits,
so that our spiritual life dries up and disappears.
If we want our spirits to grow, we must prize and nurture whatever inkling of spirit we have
rather than dismissing and forgetting these capacities because they lack immediate practical value.

Course description:

We will read and discuss a book of the same name:
Imprinted Sexual Fantasies: A New Key for Sexology.
ISF offers a new explanation of human sexuality:
Each person is imprinted with specific sex-scripts
or sexual fantasies during our first 20 years of life.
Our first sexual responses are created not by nature,
not by nurture, but by mental imprinting.
If this hypothesis proves substantially correct,
it could revolutionize modern sexology.

Is this seminar for you?
Ten teasers from the text might help you decide.

Eleven chapters will be discussed in 5 sessions:

Session 1:
I. INTRODUCING THE SEX-SCRIPT HYPOTHESIS
This chapter is available free of charge on the Internet:
See the table of contents.
Participants in this class should read these 16 pages
before the first session.
After we introduce the class and the participants,
we will discuss this first chapter.
Copies of the printed book will be available in class
for the wholesale price: $25.

Session 2:
II. THE EVOLUTIONARY BACKGROUND OF HUMAN SEX-SCRIPTS
III. SEXUAL IMPRINTING AT CRITICAL PERIODS IN PSYCHO-SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT

VOLUNTARY POVERTY:
HOW TO SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE

Would you like to meet other people who live simply?
This seminar has become a gathering place
for people already committed to voluntary simplicity.

What ideas do you have for saving money?

This seminar will be an opportunity to share our experiences
of living on much less than most people think is essential.
Can we be happy earning and spending less than $10,000 per year?

How do you obtain the small amount of money you need to survive?
How do you manage to spend so much less than other people?
Can any of your techniques be used by others?

Here is the comprehensive course description for this class:
Voluntary Poverty: How to Simplify Your Life,
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~parkx032/D-VP.html

Here you will find more details about the life-style of the facilitator,
who lives at 75% of the federal poverty level.
You will also learn more about our Facebook Page,
which is called "Simple Living in the Twin Cities".
(There is also more about our Facebook Page
at the bottom of this course description.)

This workshop will be just one meeting of two hours.
This should be enough to share ideas for living cheaply.

Becoming More Authentic: The Positive Side of Existentialism

Phone: 612-871-7275

BECOMING MORE AUTHENTIC:
THE POSITIVE SIDE OF EXISTENTIALISM

Do you want to make your life more:
autonomous, focused, organized, and meaningful?
Using a small book of the same name,
we will first define Authenticity, take an Authenticity Test,
consider several possible Authentic projects-of-being,
and finally explore Authenticity as described by
Camus, Sartre, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, and Maslow.

If you would like to read a three-page presentation
of the basic concept of Authenticity, go to:
Becoming More Authentic:
The Positive Side of Existentialism.

Another way to describe Authenticity
is to ask where we are on any of
23 growth scales.
If you click the link above,
you will see a phrase describing where we all begin
and a contrasting phrase describing
the destination toward which we move
if we are becoming more Authentic.
For example, here is the fourth growth scale:
In original existence,
we 'pursue' culturally-provided meanings and goals.
Whereas as we become more Authentic,
we create our own meanings and goals.

Existentialism affirms our personal freedom
to re-create our selves:
What is the new purpose of my life?

The instructor is James Park,
existential philosopher and author of the text,
which will be available in class for $15.
(But see cheaper options for buying the book.)
