SUMMARY:Buddhism and the Ecological Challenge
DESCRIPTION:David Loy\, professor\, Buddhist activist and author\, leads a workshop and study group on Buddhism and the Ecological Crisis. Houston Zen Center is honored to host this important thinker and activist.\nThe ecological crisis – which includes global warming but is much bigger than that – is the greatest challenge that humanity has ever faced. What does Buddhism offer\, if anything\, that can help us understand and respond appropriately? And what does ecological crisis mean for how we understand and practice Buddhism (or any spiritual path) today? Among other things\, we will reflect together on the parallels between our perennial individual predicament (according to traditional Buddhism) and our collective predicament today in relation to the biosphere. What does this all imply about how we understand the bodhisattva path? What does it mean to be an “ecosattva”? \nDavid is a prolific author\, whose essays and books have been translated into many languages. His articles appear regularly in the pages of major journals such as Tikkun and Buddhist magazines including Tricycle\, Turning Wheel\, Shambhala Sun and Buddhadharma\, as well as in a variety of scholarly journals. He is also on the advisory boards of Buddhist Global Relief\, the Clear View Project\, Zen Peacemakers\, and the Ernest Becker Foundation.\n\nThe workshop may culminate in joining a group in Houston celebrating Earth Day.

SUMMARY:Homemade Kombucha Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Registration: http://sippingsister.brownpapertickets.com/ \nWant to learn to make homemade Kombucha? It’s a fermented tea full of probiotics (healthy gut!)\, nonalcoholic (usually around .5%)\, and simple to make. Kombucha acts as an adaptogen\, which helps the body maintain homeostasis.  The main ingredients are simple; water\,  a SCOBY\, tea and something sweet. \nSave money!  Already drink lots of kombucha?  You probably pay $5 for 16oz.  In class\, we will brew 1 gallon batches of kombucha\, which is 128oz ($40 for store kombucha).  That’s 8 bottles of kombucha for a per batch cost of under $2!  All you need is organic sugar ($0.40) and organic tea ($0.90)! \nIt’s healthy!  Homemade kombucha is never flash pasteurized\, as it doesn’t need to be shelf stable.  This means that local beneficial bacteria and yeasts can thrive and at resilience and diversity to your gut. \nIn this class we will… \n– Tour Japhet Creek Park\,\n– Learn about wild yeasts/bacteria and fermentation\n– Brew kombucha (hands on)**\n– Flavor kombucha in a second ferment (hands on)***\n– Take home a SCOBY mother to start your own \n**If you purchase a kombucha starter kit\, we will brew your first batch together\, and you can take your mother home. \nCome enjoy the “unintentional” nature community of Japhet Creek and practice the ancient art of fermentation. Leave with a jar of your favorite drink or a starter culture to make your own. \nThis class will be outdoors around the community bonfire pit.  Please bring weather appropriate shoes and clothing.  Thanks! \n***Past flavor favorites: beet and jalapeño\, ginger\, raw hibiscus\, strawberry\, fresh mint \n———————————————————————-\n10% of the proceeds to this class current indigenous resistance projects and movements. In the past this money has gone to Two Rivers Camp\, AIDA and Survival International. These groups champion tribal peoples and defend their land and culture. As we celebrate their wisdom in our class we will also be sending support for their way of living to continue. \nScholarships are available. Please contact csbhouston@gmail.com for more information. \nInstructor: Andrew Cobb
