You
have your urban walks (see down below) and you have your
wilderness walks, both equally refreshing, rejuvenating
and retro-cool. Yeah — that's right: Walking is
retro these days. Unless you do it on a treadmill; then
it just looks silly. But Wilderness Week is anything
but silly. Oregon Wild partners with local volunteers
to offer this week of guided hikes through Oregon's wild
and scenic areas, all of it free and informative. Some
hikes offered in our area include the Upper Middle Fork
Willamette, Brice Creek, Chucksney Mountain and Tidbits
Mountain, all departing from the Park & Ride at Franklin
and Walnut Streets. For RSVP and more information see
In
addition to "chess moves on an international checkerboard
... protesting ... political proselytizing, and ...
getting global warming to chill," says the press release
for the Awakening Our Human Greatness community
event at Unity of the Valley, we "also need to proactively
restore our natural sense of optimism, confidence
and collective self-respect." Sounds like the organizers
of this event have got a secret they'd like
to share. Following opening remarks by Mayor Kitty
Piercy and a short talk by Claes Nobel of the Nobel
Prize family, renowned spiritual leader Dadi Janki
(pictured right) will speak on rekindling greatness
in America. Music will be played throughout by Shanti
Shivani, Forrest "Miasha" McDowell and Halie Loren.
This empowering event should be an evening of inspiration.
See Tuesday Calendar.
Ever
wander around a certain neighborhood, admiring a handful
of its front yards but truly yearning to see their
back yards, where gardens escape the public eye and
become personal parks and sanctuaries for their creators?
Yes, you have. And now you have your chance at the
14th annual KLCC in Bloom Garden Tour, where
nine gardens clustered near the top of College Hill
will be on full view for your inspection. Not too
interested in topiary, clematis, rhodies or laurels?
Then come for the social scene, livened up by a host
of easy listening music provided by Sweet Papa Lowdown,
David Rogers, Mark Harris and Elizabeth Cable. Garden
art (some of it for sale) and massages round out the
day in this benefit for the public radio station.
