Dear Friends & Family,
|
See our picks below (you'll find many more on our website calendar).
We've been eating especially well, lately: There was SlowFood Utah's Feast of Five Senses, followed by last week's Local First fundraiser, Celebrate the Bounty. Both featured outstanding local chefs with an emphasis on "farm-to-table" --that is, local. Through Sunday you can support Utah's Refugee Coalition and enjoy some fantastic food; see below.
I hope you've already read the October issue -- there's an adoption story that reads like a detective mystery, a remembrance of our recently departed friend Brian Barnard, a look at the dance season ahead, tips on putting your garden to bed, and all the usual resources and interesting ads. Click on "Read CATALYST" above.
If a business needs a sweet space to rent (about 800 sq. ft.) at a reasonable rate, contact me: Greta@CatalystMagazine.net

Thank you!
~Greta

The Aquarium Age: Oct. 17-23
 --by Ralfee Finn
The planets provide the potential for greater clarity this week, and as they do, many of us are likely to experience a back-to-basics attitude that puts the routines of daily life into a new perspective. While some may experience this new view as lightning bolts of sudden realization, most of us are more likely to feel it as a subtle strengthening of insight that reinforces purpose and intention. But don't let the subtlety of this astral influence fool you into thinking that it won't have a profound effect.
