Dear Friends and Family,
Salt Lake has much to recommend it this week. You're going to have all the pleasure and insight without me, however, as I head to California for the Bioneers Conference. (I will take notes for you.) Afterward, I'm going on a farm tour, and doing a half-day workshop on fermented foods with author of everyone's favorite book on the subject (Wild Fermentation), Sandor Katz.
Bioneers are social and scientific innovators who mimic nature's operation instructions to serve human ends. This year's speakers include Danny Glover, biomimicry leader Janine Benyus, Annie Leonard (co-director of The Story of Stuff), eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, Salt Lake's own Nalini Nadkarni, world-renowned for her rainforest studies; and dozens more. If you want to catch a plane and join us, do: Visit www.bioneers.org. And, of course, be prepared to read about all the interesting new ideas we'll be sharing in the months to come.
Have you read your October CATALYST yet? This month we talk about "pinkwashing" ~ with a plea for breast cancer prevention before cure; a look at the so-called Molly deaths; the birthing of an air quality activist; the conclusion to our Chakra series; big changes in the CATALYST office; and lots more. Pick it up on the newsstand or access it online at www.catalystmagazine.net.
Thank you for reading!

This week, there are two major astral configurations to consider. The first is a lunar eclipse on October 18; the second is the final Mercury Retrograde phase of the year that begins on October 21 and continues through November 11. Time distortion is a signature they both share...so don't despair if you feel a little like the Mad Hatter on Quaaludes...(read more).
