Well, now, friends.
We are going to have a powerful, laid-away sort of week between holidays and I hope some of you will want to come join the Toning Circle on Sunday. It is an opportunity to use a new voice to express who we are in this new time. I love the relaxed ritual of these classes. I learn so much, while having a experience of compassionate community for the afternoon.

SOUND TRANSFORMING CIRCLE
DECEMBER 28, SUNDAY from 12 Noon to 4 PM
I am excited to see a growing community of people who are experiencing growth by use of Sound. At the end of this month, this year, I invite you to be together in what is our Origin and Opening….self expressed native sound. Toning is easy and powerful.
This month’s format will include use of the most ancient sounds as mantras: the sacred vowels that were the basis of all the original languages. The vibration of these sounds are immediately felt as transformative. They bring great peace because they are the sounds we are made of.
Sound Healing is the gift we give each other by voicing the Truth of us. Our words and tone of voice will be more harmonious after this class. We 1st come to know our deepest Self through shamanic ‘looking’ and then give voice to who we find there. It is easier than you might think. And then the intuitive singing we offer helps each person in the room feel more at home with the absolute greatness which is our original design.
Much love,
Margy
If you would like to come, please reply email or call Margy at 707-938-8334

Happy Holidays from Sonoma Garden Park!

Pictured above are a few wreath makers from our last workshop.
What’s growing on?
These short days and cold nights mean it is slow growing for all those crops in the ground. This weather also means that it is the perfect time to eat kale, cabbage, and collards! The cold weather is ideal for growing these veggies because plants produce more sugars in cold weather, giving them an extra punch of sweetness.
Sautéed Kale
Sauté kale in a little olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. Turn down the heat and add garlic, fresh lemon juice, and toasted sesame oil; stir for another 5 minutes.
Eco Chicks
Turn on your radio every Tuesday morning at 8:00 am to 91.3 KSVY and listen to the Eco Chicks on Mornings in Sonoma with Ken Brown. Start you day learning about green events in the Sonoma Valley and Sonoma Ecology Center happenings.

Dear Farmer in Chief:
Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food, wrote a letter to the next Farmer in Chief to discuss what direction the U.S. should pursue in the often-overlooked question of food policy.

California Institute of Massage & Spa Services is proud to Showcase the Portraits and Paintings of
Tatiana Yelina-McWethy
An opening Reception is set for Friday, December 5th
from 5 to 7p.m. at 772 W. Napa St., Sonoma
Tatiana, a student of the Art College of Russia since the age of 14, found her niche in restoring classic works of art. She worked under Sergey Kisilev, leading restoration artist for the world famous Hermitage Museum.
Tatiana excelled at restoring religious icons from Russian Orthodox churches all across the country. Eventually, she became a restoration artist of the Peter and Paul Fortress, which includes the Peter and Paul Cathedral where all of Russia’s emperors and empresses have been buried, from Peter the Great to Alexander III.
In her spare time, McWethy still pursued her own artwork.
She uses rich colors to create portraits, still-life and landscapes in the traditional European style.
Please join us for the reception Friday, Dec. 5th!
To schedule a viewing of the exhibit outside the reception, call us at 939-9431.
