Hi All,

If organic gardening is part of an ongoing process of simplifying life for 
you (as it is for me), you might be interested in knowing about a free SBCC 
Adult Ed class I'm teaching with Dr. Bruce Anderson (a buddy of ours from the 
S B Simplicity Circle) in February.  Among other topics, we'll definitely be 
discussing the joys of "growing your own"!

More Joy, Less Stuff:
Coping With Consumerism

    *  In the midst of so much material wealth, why are many of us unhappy 
with the quality of our lives?  

    Find out how material self-indulgence distorts values and keeps us 
trapped in a cycle of work-and-spend.  Learn practical steps to counter the 
influence of consumerism and make life simpler, more meaningful and rewarding.

    Topics to be explored include:

    * What causes the time stress, the lack of connection and community? 

    * Is there another way to live that would give us greater satisfaction?  

    * Why does the consumer society have such a hold on us, and what can we 
do to break free?
