  • Usher in the new year, consciously. We will gather for an all organic seasonal meal, in my Oceanside Perfume Studio. Let's plan to open the year gently, with some walking meditation on the bluffs, and then some yummy brunch. We will discuss intention, resolutions, visioning, and then create a scent journey to support this for the first six weeks of the new year. Astrological aspects for this time will be discussed. You will take home a scent trio of minis for the new year....See more

Description of exhibit

We are proud to present the final show in our four-part exhibition at Berkeley’s vibrant community art space, The Subterranean Art House. This presentation features Sherrod Blankner, Jane Norling and Matthew Silverberg.

Sherrod Blankner paints sensuous rural vistas and burned-out cityscapes whose buildings she finds exude human emotions.

Jane Norling brings her love of powerful land formations marked by human survival into lyrical abstract paintings and 
metal-print digital compositions.

Matthew Silverberg presents themes of megacities, post abstract expressionism and exploration

 of digital techniques in digitally-enhanced prints and “traditional” but “wild-color” paintings.

The 1030 Art Group is comprised of 12 mid-career and emerging Bay Area artists who are pushing the boundaries between digital and traditional arts by using a wide variety

 of techniques including photography, sculpture, painting, textiles, mathematics, collage, software and alternative printing surfaces.

Mindfulness Alameda Sangha Sunday Dec. 8th

Dear Friends,

 

This Sunday Dec. 8th I'll be reviewing some of the information from two weeks ago on what constitutes full-fledged mindfulness, with its associated healthy and beneficial mind states.  

Then together we will inquire into how we know whether or not we are mindful, how we can create the conditions for mindfulness to arise, and what it feels like when it is there.  

Bring your personal (or universal!) practice questions and insights to share.

with warmth,

Deb Kerr

The Musicians of St. Dominic's

The musicians of St. Dominic's Catholic Church provide music for weekday and Sunday Masses as well as Solemnities, Holy Days and many special services such as weddings, memorial services and funerals.

Our regular pattern of music making is:

Weekdays
6:30 AM Mass           Said
8 AM Mass     Cantor
5:30 PM Mass     St. Jude Mass with hymns

Weekend
5:30 PM Saturday Vigil Mass               Cantor
7:30 AM Quiet Mass     No music
9:30 AM Family Mass     Family Mass Choir
11:30 AM Solemn Mass     Schola Cantorum

5:30 PM Mass     Contemporary Choir & Ensemble
9 PM Candlelight Mass     Cantor led Taizé music

Liturgical music is a sacred art form. We are mandated by the church to use only live music, not recordings. Our challenge is to recreate the sounds envisaged by the composer through the medium of printed notation to lift the soul of the worshipper to a higher plane. The music that we perform is of the same quality as the arts forms found in our national art galleries and museums.

Design Your Own Couture Signature Parfum with Libby Patterson Organics

For those clients of LPO who wish to design their own couture signature
parfum, this is the 1st step....buy some minis of a variety of LPO custom
and couture scent samples, so you have an idea of the breadth and depth of
the work, so you can steer the ideology of your mind's eye, for your scent
in the right direction on the journey.

https://squareup.com/market/lpo-libby-patterson-organics/lpo-parfum-sampler-set

SETS can be determined by you and communicated to perfumer...this is the best way to
start when you would like to get a library of the LPO Parfums to find a direction
for your own development process, before spending the money for a private perfume.
It's a wise first step.

Orientals

Alameda Sangha. Reminder for the Holidays: Checking in with the Breath

Reminder for the Holidays: Checking in with the Breath

Just a quick and important reminder to keep awareness of the breath close at hand like a good friend supporting you through any trying as well as very joyous times during the coming holidays. Don't forget to be compassionate to yourselves and this means to take good care of yourselves during the rush and bustle of the preparation for what is to come.

1) Even if you think you do not have time for sitting practice, it's good to do as little as 10 minutes a day if possible. Just getting into the sitting posture will be grounding (despite the mind being busy and out of control with planning) because it will be a reminder of the need to seek some tranquility within.

2) When you feel the urge to speed up, slow down! It's counter intuitive but the best we can do for the body, heart and mind.

3) From my own personal experience, even though I'm hosting Thanksgiving and making the turkey, stuffing and one other side dish, it is important to take care of oneself by:

a)scheduling a massage before and after the holidays
b) brining the turkey - this means that the turkey can be picked up well before the Wednesday rush because brining the turkey is best to start 2-3 days before Thanksgiving
c) Picking up all the ingredients one can before Thanksgiving for the sides, stuffing, etc
d) If traveling, then there will be lots of time for sitting practice because of possible delays and any layovers. Also a good opportunity to really keep the breath nearby due to more open ended time waiting

4) While driving, if with talkative friends or relatives, be sure to breathe and let them know if you need a moment to concentrate on directions or just have a little quiet time. (in a kind and respectful way)

Don't forget to breathe, be kind to yourselves and the practice will unfold in good and positive ways!


Happy Thanksgiving! with metta, Pauletta

one bowl of soup at a time. Diners pay a small dinner fee, feast on a gourmet meal,

favorite project to support and the winning artist takes the money to use for her/his
work. The winner presents their project's progress of their winning at the next meal,
usually about 6 weeks later. Sometimes success in the art world seems pretty random.
Oakland Stock offers an opportunity for community members to support the cultural
production they find important through Food, Funding, Feedback, & Followup.
Support for Oakland Stock is provided by Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure Grant Program.

Apply as an OAKLAND-BASED ARTIST- It’s easy!: Submit a simple proposal following the directions below to oaklandstock@gmail.com
The first 10 proposals that meet the requirements (below) will be included in
the running. Please prepare to pitch your project with a brief powerpoint presentation
(assembled by Stock staff with your application materials). If funded, you will be
responsible for making a presentation to the Oakland Stock community regarding your
progress on this project at the next Stock dinner, approximately 4-6 weeks after receiving the grant.

This Sunday, come and join me to explore an important sutta of the Buddha's, Mindfulness of Breathing or the Anapanasati Sutta. We will be looking at a direct perspective of what we learned last Sunday when we spoke about abiding in the joy and relaxation of the breath.

 The Buddha said that this leads to the fruits of our practice and ultimate liberation. We will examine the 16 steps or four tetrads of what he taught all of us to learn to do.
