GO TO CLASSMovimiento Auténtico
May 29, 2013 6:00pmCalle Sardenya 261-263
Barcelona
El movimiento auténtico es aquel que surge al conectar y dar expresión a nuestros impulsos internos. Es una forma de favorecer la emergencia de nuestro mundo interior en un estado de presencia consciente. Se trabaja en parejas, donde un@ es quien se mueve y otr@ hace de testigo. Los testigos son aquellos que acompañan y apoyan con su mirada a quienes se mueven desde una actitud de no juicio. Quienes se mueven lo hacen partiendo del silencio, con ojos cerrados y entregándose a la experiencia. Utilizaremos también la expresión plástica, para integrar la experiencia y facilitar la toma de conciencia de lo vivido.

About the teacher, Terapeutas en Integración Psico-Corporal: Brigitte Burchartz y Maria Duran Colaboradoras: Maite García, Pilar Giménez, Marta Marichal y Rosa Moretó, formadas en Integración Psico-Corporal
Somos un grupo de terapeutas de la escuela ETIP (Escola de Terapia d'Integració Psicorporal) con ganas de divulgar nuestro trabajo al máximo de gente posible. La integración psicocorporal concibe a la persona como un “todo integrado” donde cuerpo, mente y emoción son una unidad y una única realidad. Muy a menudo vivimos de forma separada cuerpo, mente y emoción provocándonos malestar, síntomas corporales (tensión, rigidez, dolor, enfermedad...), síntomas mentales (paranoia, obsesión, exigencia, autocrítica...) y síntomas emocionales (angustia, euforia, tristeza, miedo, rabia...) que muchas veces no relacionamos entre sí. Esto condiciona nuestra capacidad de funcionamiento, e intentando no sentir el dolor que comporta tampoco sentimos el placer. Así construimos una coraza con la cual nos relacionamos y de la que no nos es fácil salir. Por eso la terapia tiene como objetivo la recuperación de esta unidad. Se trata de recobrar la conciencia, tanto de los bloqueos corporales y energéticos como de los conflictos inconscientes, muchos de ellos con orígenes pre y perinatales, y liberar de forma integra cuerpo - mente, consiguiendo saber quién somos, que sentimos y que nos pasa, haciendo resurgir nuestras capacidades y el impulso de vida que todos llevamos dentro.

Have you always wanted to try Gaelic singing? Do you already know a few songs but would like to expand your repertoire? Maybe you just love singing and sharing songs in a group. It's easy to learn Gaelic songs even if you don't know the language. No experience necessary.
Taught by Bethany Halcrow
I learned my first Gaelic song from Julie Fowlis at the Feis Rois in 2004. Since then I have gone to every Gaelic song workshop that I could in Edinburgh, Glasgow and further afield, plus learned from friends and whoever else I've met along the way. I love the purity of Gaelic singing, the sense of history and culture in the songs, and I love singing together with others, sharing songs, stories and tunes. I have performed and recorded with various musicians over the years, and I have completed two years music study at Glasgow University and Stevenson College in Edinburgh. I look forward to singing and teaching Gaelic song with the Trade School! See you there.

The cafe is open to providers, commissioners, social workers, carers, individuals and anyone with an interest in this agenda to discuss what's thriving in Glasgow despite the environment? How people are using their budgets, how they are organising their support and what that, in turn, means for the choices that we can all offer people. The session will take the form of interactive workshops and group work and will help to shape to spot trends and deliver our Self-Directed Support newsletters in the future. There will also be speed networking to get to know people. The Café has been established in a response to SCIF member demand for a space where providers can meet up and network.

Local officials and relief workers may not be able to reach everyone right away. You can deal with disaster better by preparing in advance and by working with those in your support network: your family, neighbors and friends as a team.

The purpose of this class is to educate people about the amazing world of the honey bee. You will finish this class with a better understanding of the importance of this bee’s relationship and influence on the human race. The honey bee is an incredible little insect whose well-being is closely linked to our own. Join the class and let me explain why we need them and they need us. Times are tough right now for the honey bee and it is through no fault of their own. Stop by and learn what YOU can do to make their lives better even if you don't have plans to have bees of your own. One of my greatest joys is helping new beekeepers get started by teaching them about bees and helping them get started at the lowest possible cost. All such assistance is pro bono. It is anticipated that this will be the first class of a short series… depending on the continued interest shown.. A small sampling of what will be discussed in these classes includes the following in no particular order: An overview - why we need them and they need us A brief history - World - National - Local The terminology - the vocabulary of beekeepers The equipment - hands on .. in class The different bees and their varying duties. The basic biology involved The products of the hive and... ANYTHING else the class is interested in. Each class member is encouraged to ask questions during the class. The teaching format will be a combination of an open discussion and lecture. Kids are welcome if they are old enough to comprehend the subject matter being discussed. Hoping to see you there. Until then….. BEE nice!

Just as the types of movies we have watched have changed over the past century, so have the ways that we have watched those movies. From screenings in vaudeville halls and nickelodeons to early single-screen theaters and the grand movie palaces that followed, and from the rise and fall of drive-ins and grindhouses to the evolution of the modern-day multiplex, this course will cover the changing ways that we have gone to the movies in Indy, from the dawn of silent films to the current era. In addition to the now-vanished theaters that once thrived in Indianapolis, the course also will look into the locations of theaters in and near the Circle City, what kinds of movies they showed over the years, and how changes in these areas reflected the evolution of the city's population. Contemporary newspaper advertisements and other sources will be used to illustrate and illuminate the changing movie scene in Indianapolis over the past century, and the course also will mention changes in other ways of watching movies in Indianapolis, from broadcasts on local television stations to home video rental outlets and beyond.
Taught by Mike MacCollum
I am a long time movie fan, and also have a great interest in local movie theaters. In case that sentence is just too obvious, given the course description, I am also a vegetarian and have a dog, Sarah, who really likes to walk, and walk, and walk.

It can be a critique of the film itself, how it made the viewer feel, or whatever the first thing comes to mind. Discussion of the film after the writing prompt will follow and sharing what was written is encouraged, but not required. The goal of this course is to teach others how to become more perceptive to what they are seeing/experiencing and how to express those thoughts onto paper or verbally during discussion in a more non traditional sense.

You don't need a big house to have a garden and having a so-called green thumb is also not true.

Taught by Cy and Kai Cruz
This class features the insights of a husband and wife tandem who are creative brains by day, and neophyte gardeners and eco-warriors by heart.

Kai Cruz on the other hand is the co-founder of the uber successful wedding blog called The Rebellious Brides as well as a Product Development Manager in GMA 7. In 2009, the Ondoy tragedy and personal health concerns have made the couple rethink their lifestyle. From trial and error, they have eventually learned that the way to a happy, fulfilling, and healthy home is actually going back to basics--growing plants and eco living. The couple doesn't think they have a green thumb per se. But somehow, they've managed to grow their own urban garden. In less than a year, they now have herbs, flowers, baby trees, vines, and various plants in their care. What's more, they are proud to say that they've converted almost all of their household products to organic by around 90%. The couple lives in a modest neighborhood and they are a living testament to the fact that having a garden and switching to eco living can be quite easy and fulfilling. In this class you will learn the many benefits of urban gardening and eco living. The world is changing--climate change and health concerns are almost becoming a daily concern. It is time to re-think our lifestyle and this is a good way to start.

All to help us with the perennial question, "whatever shall I wear?"

GO TO CLASSDécouverte et pratique d'une agriculture urbaine parisienne!
May 25, 2013 4:00pmjardin partagé au 110 rue du Ruisseau
Paris
Bonjour, je vous invite à découvrir ensemble les différentes formes que prend l'agriculture urbaine en Ile de France. De ses origines à son histoire contemporaine, les évolutions de cette culture vivace interrogent les métamorphoses du bien-vivre en ville et de notre lien à la terre. Après une première partie historique et théorique, nous poursuivrons le cours avec un atelier pratique de semis. Pendant la plantation de ces premières graines, je tenterais de répondre aux questionnements qui feront bientôt de vous un agriculteur urbain: Où trouver de l'espace à cultiver? Comment analyser et recontruire le sol? Où trouver des graines et lesquelles? Quelles variétés adoptées? Planifier la vie du jardin? Quel entretien? Comment favoriser la rencontre des éco systèmes, etc...
About the teacher, Carmen Bouyer
Je suis designer spécialisé dans le design durable et passionnée par les formes que prend la transition écologique. J'ai étudié l'agriculture urbaine en 2011 à la Parsons School de New York et participe depuis à des projets de valorisation des circuits-courts d'alimentation à Paris.
GO TO CLASSInitiation à la technique du patchwork
May 29, 2013 3:00pmjardin partagé au 110 rue du Ruisseau
Paris
Vous découvrirez les bases de la technique du patchwork. Merci d'amener votre matériel de couture: dés, aiguilles, fils, et chutes de tissus (repassées!) si vous en avez, pour passer un joli moment créatif au jardin. Un patchwork est une technique de couture qui consiste à assembler plusieurs morceaux de tissus de tailles, formes et couleurs différentes pour réaliser différents types d'ouvrages artistiques. La réalisation du patchwork avait d'abord un but pratique de réutilisation de fragments de tissu divers issus de découpes nécessaires pour d'autres travaux. On a trouvé des représentations très anciennes en Inde et en Égypte. Les étapes de réalisation d'un patchwork vont de la découpe des éléments à l'assemblage pour constituer ainsi une pièce de la taille désirée, la couture des pièces entre elles et le matelassage qui consiste à coudre ensemble la surface du patchwork et une doublure entre lesquelles on insère une couche de molleton. La couture se fait à l'aide de points selon des tracés décoratifs et donnant un relief à l'ensemble fini.

Si vous avez toujours rêvé de jouer comme Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan ou bien d'autres, ce cours est fait pour vous! Nous verrons les bases de la maîtrise de cet instrument afin que vous soyez autonome pour avancer seul par la suite. Cependant, le contenu de ce cours va beaucoup dépendre des attentes de ses participants. Il sera donc plus pertinent de créer un contenu dédié lorsque chacun m'aura transmis ses attentes/besoins (vous recevrez un email une fois inscrit). IMPORTANT: si vous avez une guitare, amenez-la! :-)

Practico la apicultura desde hace mas de 20 años, mi propuesta excluye el clásico enfoque zootecnista para incorporar una relación armoniosa con estos nobles animalitos. En la chacra Flor de Iso, la apicultura es el eje de una propuesta integral de manejo sustentable a nivel micro. Actualmente produzco miel, polen, pan de abeja, propóleo, apilarnil, hidromiel, vinagre de miel y otros productos elaborados en combinación entre si y con plantas locales.
GO TO CLASSTan tan tan... Imaginación, vacío y cuento infantil!
Jun 2, 2013 10:00amJardín Botánico de Quito-Parque La Carolina
Quito
Niños, adultos, ancianos, infancianos, lo que fuere.. somos un microcosmos del macrocosmos. El momento en que podemos hacer consciente esa magia que hay en nosotros, sentimos la pulsión inmedianta de crear! (dibujar, coser, hacer sonidos, quemar, congelar, hacer galaxias con los mocos, y así.. ), con los materiales que estén disponibles a nuestro alrededor. Cuando esta capacidad de "hacer" no ha caído en un plano de aberraciones sociales sofisticadas no armónicas con el resto de la naturaleza, por ejemplo con fines explotadores fruto de un constructo netamente racional, ahi es cuando se pueden vincular en nosotros nuestras inquietudes espirituales con el plano de la materia(necesidades fisionómicas, económicas etc..) La intención ritual de este taller es introducirnos al mundo del cuento infantil explorando maneras que nos permitan crecer espiritualmente al momento de crear las ilustraciones, tomando como pautas nociones del budismo zen, geometría sagrada, y magia popular. Todos tenemos una naturaleza intuitiva que puede ser despertada así que no hará falta conocimiento específico de nada. Aunque no armaremos un cuento por cuestiones de tiempo coquetearemos la infinitesimal versatilidad de la ilustración

Quito
Los pantalones bombachos son lo que hay. En este taller vas aprender a hacer la prenda de ropa más versátil y cómoda que hayas tenido. Parece falda pero es pantalón, puede ser vestido, o cobija si tienes frío, rápido de sacar (y de poner). Bueno para la casa y para el baile para hombres y mujeres de todas las edades. Además de hacer los pantalones vamos a aprender algunas cosas básicas sobre cómo usar una máquina de coser. Materiales que necesitas traer: - Tela: El largo de la tela debe ser lo que mida cada uno desde sus pies hasta su cintura, multiplicado por dos. A mi me va bien una de 1.60 m. De ahí el ancho, que sea el ancho de la tela, casi todas son 1 metro o un poquito más de ancho, mientras más tela, más bombacho. - Para la parte de arriba: Pueden traer un elástico grueso, de unos 6-8 cm o si quieren pueden traer una cinta (tipo faja otavaleña) o se puede hacer de la misma tela (en ese caso compren un poquito más, especialmente si quieren un vestido-pantalón). Si pueden traer una máquina de coser el día de la clase (para que hagamos los pantalones más rápido, sería buenísmo).
Taught by Michelle Soto
No soy una experta en la costura, lo que hago de ropa lo hago medio al ojo, pero me divierto mucho. Me interesa aprender más sobre todo los sistemas que sostienen mi vida, desde la alimentación, a mi salud, ropa, vivienda, el transporte que uso para moverme. Quiero aprender de la gente que me rodea, creo que esa es la clave para la sostenibilidad.

Buying and Shooting Vintage / Film Cameras

Vancouver
Like most things analog, film photography has been enjoying a resurgence lately. If you're interested in shooting with film cameras but don't know where to find them or what to look for, this course might help. Come learn how to tell a gem from a dud when camera-hunting at garage sales and flea markets for everything from SLRs right down to the 'plastic fantastics'! (This course is more about buying than shooting, but we'll cover some necessary basics at the beginning that will help in your hunt.)
About the teacher, Stephanie Faye
Hello, I'm Steph. I have a fondness for graphic design, an addiction to vintage photography, and a strange obsession with package design, branding and hand-lettering. I have what some might consider a rather unhealthy collection of cameras (going on 30 now) ranging from the 1940s to present day, all of which I use. I also have an Etsy store called Giveable Greetings where I sell bad puns in greeting card format and various other paper-y things. Come hang out and talk about cameras! It'll be fun!

About the teacher, Yuriko Iga
Yuriko Iga was born in Winnipeg and raised in Calgary with Japanese parentage. Her experience of the traditional Japanese house and family, combined with her work in the contemporary art field, have led her toward a broadened conception of art as the creation of installation or social space always ignoring the boundary between art, multi-media, design, and life. A graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design, Yuriko’s many artistic endeavours include running a cafe/gallery in Calgary called Kisaten from 1994–1996; working with the collective Colours for Industry on a multi-media dance piece called Microluft ; and curating a music event called Squibb. Now based out of Vancouver, Yuriko’s recent project is called Blim. Blim is a Community Based Art Resource Center which facilitates screen-printing, button making, drawing, local emerging artists, creative workshops, and crafts in the independent field. Blim also hosts the Blim Market, which is a monthly craft event that houses local handmade craft, art, vintage, and organisations. Blim has been active for 9 years and has now moved to a larger location in historic Chinatown. Yuriko is also an active member of the Powell Street Festival Programming Committee.

This class is for anyone who has a dSLR camera and would like to explore what amazing pictures they can take by adjusting all the controls of the camera. The class is 1.5 hours. We will start by defining what exposure is. Then we will look at aperture, shutter speed and ISO - experimenting along the way to see what the adjustments create. By the end of the class you will have the opportunity to take at least 1 correctly exposed photo using the fully manual mode. Students are asked to bring along a picture that they like from a magazine or online, which they would like to recreate.
