There will be food, music, games and good company.  Come join in for some lighthearted community time together.  If convenient, you are encouraged to bring a dish to share(but if that doesn’t work for you, do come anyway).  Please bring your own plate, cup and cutleryas these will not be provided.  You might also want to pack along a lawn chair and this would be the perfect time to dust off that croquet set or dig the bocce balls out of that cupboard!

What’s the difference between thinking of land as real estate and land as a life support system? How does land as a material object have a non-material impact on our psychology? Can a landscape overlap with our soulscape?  While land can be labelled, consensus on its definitionis elusive. This talk explores the orthodoxy that we all sprung from the earth, that it is the ecology that supports human activity and that there is much to be learned from cultures that value land as a gift to be respected and shared.  If you have an iPhone, bring it along to learn a cool land-based activity.
