Screening of the documentary Gasland
Unearths a shocking story about the practice of 'fracking' for natural gas that is understudied and inadequately regulated.
When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND.
Joining us for this film will be Kevin Hansen who works for Landmark Engineering and is very knowledgable about this subject, and Christa Lane-Hooper, who was inspired by this film to do her master's thesis on natural gas drilling. We will have time after the film for meaningful discussion and suggestions for action.
Saturday, May 14 from 4 to 7 pm
Permaculture Workshop with Patty Ceglia

This will be an experiential event-- You will learn how to bring permaculture practices into your awareness, life and land. Before this event, we will send out more detailed information for you to take full advantage of what Patty has to offer.
Saturday, May 21 from 6 to 8 pm
Screening of The World According to Monsanto
Monsanto's controversial past combines some of the most toxic products ever sold with misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and attempted corruption. They now race to genetically engineer and patent the world's food supply which profoundly threatens our health, environment, and economy. This widlely praised film exposes why Monsanto has become the world's poster child for malignant corporate influence in government and technology.
Saturday, May 28 from 6 to 8 pm
Screening of Nicotine Bees
Local filmmakers Kevin Hansen and Krista Keenan have joined forces to create this documentary on the simultaneous global die-off of honey bees that is threatening one third of our food supply. Supporting evidence from Europe, India and the States points to the underlying cause of this die-off. Kevin and Krista will join us for this event to educate us on how we can become involved to be part of the solution to this dire situation.
