Presently, the lab …

We are people who prepare.  We may have different reasons for coming to the conclusion to prepare but we can learn from each other.   The most important part of the preparation equation is yourself. You must prepare your mind and body.  All the equipment in the world is not going to help if you yourself are not prepared.   Anyone who prepares should join, both beginners and experienced are welcome. When the SHTF, where will you be?  Chances are you will not be at home where the majority of your …

Anyone who is interested in dance, choreography, and being with others in the process would benefit.

Originally a group of Mamas and Babies who met at the Tucson Birth and Women's Health Center Tuesday group, we decided to strike out on our own once our little ones were too big and rambunctious for the group (which often has many very small babies).This group is designed to be open and flexible and welcomes all caring Mamas in Tucson. Meetup is a tool for us to organize ourselves. The overall goal is to build and maintain friendships with like-minded families. So...what kind of mindsets do we …

This group will, hopefully, bring together people who are interested in the types of questions and discussions that arise naturally from the group's title. Discussions will be fun, out there but skeptical, and preferably over a pint of beer. I hate to be exclusive but this group is not for conspiracy theorists or post-apocalypse survival fetishists. We will not discuss nuclear bunker construction or food preservation techniques (except insofar as those techniques might be used to produce delicio …

This is for anyone who would like to share ideas, inspiration, and musings on permaculture. People of every background are welcome to come, especially those without much, if any experience with permaculture!

However, since the human mind has seemingly an ecology of its own, permaculture concerns every aspect of human existence. Therefore, permaculture i …
