TWO FREE PUBLIC EVENTS THIS SUMMER YIELD A VIDEO AND NICE PRESS
Thanks to all who participated in two free public events on Friday July 29, and by doing so made it possible for Angie Epifano and me to create this 4-minute video shown at the Berkeley Community Media Summer Shorts Movie Jam: 48 Hour Film Festival.

The events were also covered in this report on Berkeleyside.

AGAPANTHUS PROJECT
Thanks to all who have made the Agapanthus Project possible. Over fifteen free public Create-With-Agapanthus events were held in Berkeley parks during the summer of 2011. I'm currently accepting donations of gone-to-seed Agapanthus flowers for the project. See all the details, including a photo gallery link, here.

The Agapanthus project is part of the Samavesha Community Program.

REPORT FROM "ART TO ACTION ON CODORNICES CREEK WITH CHILDREN OF THE URSULA SHERMAN VILLAGE"

The Ursula Sherman Village, a project of Building Opportunities for Self Sufficiency (BOSS)
in West Berkeley, California, provides housing and a comprehensive program for homeless families. With financial support from the Open Circle Foundation, I facilitated three art-with-nature outings along the creek in 2008, and six outings in 2009 and 2010. Photos and a full report are here.

Mary Daniel Hobson, the Director of the Arts and Healing Network interviews me in the Arts and Healing Network News: Summer 2010. I'm thankful that this experience allowed me to explore my motivations and methods in depth, and I hope others will take something useful from it.
