Salonista Alan Bern's latest CD with "Brave Old World" (neo klezmer group) touted as #Number One of the Year!
From Alan Bern to the Salon Weekly Readers:(This is a two hour unified program of music from the Lodzh, Poland ghetto during the Nazzi holocaust. Beautiful, stirring, funny, and redemptive. A must hear. This is the program presented last spring at NKU when Brave Old World was in town. ellen.)
I'm proud to let you all know that my group's most recent CD, "Duz gezang fin geto Lodzh/Song of the Lodz Ghetto" (by Brave Old World) was named classical CD of the year by Newsday and one of the top 10 CDs by the classical/world music critic for Billboard. The CD is available through amazon.com, if anybody is interested. Thanks!
Best wishes to all,
Alan

Ohio State U. Sponsors Conference on LOCAL FOOD Growing/Consuming
(This one's for you, David Rosenberg!)
The Case for Local Food Systems
Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2006
A one-day conference sponsored by the Social Responsibility Initiative
In today¹s global marketplace, Arizona ships lettuce to Ohio and Ohio
ships food-grade soybeans to Japan.
But rising energy prices, increasing interest in local food
production¹s economic development opportunities, and consumer demand
for fresh and healthful local foods are combining to increase the
momentum for developing local food production and distribution systems in
Ohio.
"The Case for Local Food Systems," a one-day conference on Wednesday,
Jan. 11, in the Agricultural Administration Auditorium, (in Columbus, OH) will examine
the role local foods can play in contributing to Ohio¹s economic,
environmental, cultural and health-related climate.
The conference will showcase how Ohioans -- including an ice cream
entrepreneur, an Ohio State University vegetable crops researcher,
and a Cincinnati mom active in bringing local foods to local schools
-- already are working to help build such a system.
Linda and Fred Griffiths, well-known in the Cleveland area for their
cookbooks, television appearances and leaders of Slow Food¹s Northern
Ohio Convivium, are the luncheon speakers.
Registration is $25. Lunch is included.
To register or for more details, see http://sri.osu.edu/events.php or
click on the registration form pdf and program pdf at the end of this
message.
The Case for Local Food Systems is sponsored by the Social
Responsibility Initiative of the College of Food, Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences and is co-hosted by the Department of Human
and Community Resources Development and the OSU Local/Regional Food
System Network.

Ed Gutfrund does workshops, Jan, Feb, March
(Ed is terrific. I don't know Mark. ellen)
Friends & Colleagues--
Ed Gutfreund is a Bodyworker and Psychotherapist, and Mark Davis is a
Bodyworker and Wellness Coach. Both are based in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ed and Mark offer workshops for Bodyworkers, Psychotherapists, Counselors,
Physicians, Pastoral Counselors and Caregivers, and all health and
wellness professionals. These workshops explore meditative and
contemplative approaches to deepening the experience and improving the
outcomes in therapeutic relationships for both clients and therapists
alike.

* March 4--Presence for Psychotherapists and Counselors
Contact info:
* web: http://presencepractice.com
* email: info@presencepractice.com
* phone: (513) 542-6917
Presence describes our capacity for being awake and aware within our
experience. To be present is to be connected to and inseparable from our
internal experience, relationship with others and with the world. Being
effective in relationship can be a function of the degree of one's
capacity to stay present, especially so for those working in therapeutic
alliance.
Presence workshops explore the theory and practice of staying connected
and aware in therapeutic relationship. The workshop environment is
conversational and experiential as we explore:
* techniques from both contemplative spiritual and contemporary
psychotherapeutic traditions that build one's capacity for remaining
focused and mindful
* particular obstacles that arise for those in therapeutic roles
* exercises that help integrate these approaches into daily work with
clients and patients.
Presence workshops can help health and wellness professionals:
* be more effective as therapists
* experience more fulfilling work with clients
* maintain healthy and appropriate boundaries
* improve self care and self management
* reduce caretaking fatigue and burnout
Please see our website for further information or contact us via email or
phone. We would also appreciate your forwarding this message to any
colleagues who might be interested. And let us know at
info@presencepractice.com if you would prefer not to receive occasional
workshop updates.
We are in the process of opening our new office suite at 951 W North Bend
Road in Cincinnati and have treatment rooms available for leasing by
health and wellness professionals. We also have a friend in Hamilton, Ohio
with practice space available. Let us know if you're interested in either.
Thanks,
Ed and Mark

Dreams & Creativity
