A Space of One’s Own
(click to reserve an in person seat)
Join Us! (in person)
Sunday, August 29 at 11 a.m.
 It has been said that everyone needs a space of one’s own for their mental health. This service will explore the many types of such spaces. These run the gamut between fancy “man caves” to a private space in one’s psyche. What elements are needed to meet this need? Anyone wishing to share about their special place is invited to contact Berti Welty for inclusion in the service. She can be reached at 476-0654 or bertijo@humboldt1.com.

Labor Day: A Bygone Day of Rest
(click to reserve an in person seat)
Join Us! –(in person)
Sunday, September 5 at 11 a.m.
 During this past year and half of uncertainty, we have seen many alarming inequities and dichotomies within our culture concerning work and the workplace.
There is an expectation –even a requirement – to be constantly producing even though or because we are in the middle of a Global pandemic. Do we ever just stop to truly rest? Are we really living if work is the means and the end?
We will hear three perspectives from Scarlett Trippsmith, Amy Day, and Bonnie MacGregor of how work has changed in their lifetimes and how we, as a culture, might benefit from a change in perspective on rest.

CAC’s Climate Related Reading List
- Recommended reading from Alison O’Dowd: Climate Stewardship, Taking Collective Action to Protect California by Adina Merenlender See https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520378940/climate-stewardship
“The climate leaders profiled in this book are inspirational. Their stories reflect the diversity of California’s people and landscapes and show the power of collective action to create change. They also reveal our profound connection with nature and one another and illuminate the power of nature-based solutions to address the climate crisis. Most importantly, this wonderful book reminds us of what we are capable of as individuals to improve the future of our planet and people.”—Wade Crowfoot, California Secretary for Natural Resources
- Inspirational news read from Sue Mossman: When Oil Spills Strike, Call in the Hair Force! What to do with all the hair that will come from post pandemic haircuts? Donate that hair for mats to clean up oil spills. See: https://tinyurl.com/3468wce9 Hair today, Gone tomorrow (to hairmats!)

We also need some extra muscle to help organize the materials in the side parking area. We’ll convene Saturday Sept 4, from 10 am to 1 pm. Come for however long you can spare. And thanks to all the dedicated helpers that show up month after month to keep our grounds so beautiful! In gratitude, your Grounds Committee
