SUMMARY:LUNCHTIME SHELTER WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 11\, Noon\, LUNCHTIME SHELTER WORKSHOP \nWe need shelter not just from the cold\, but from rain\, wind\, even the sun.  The location and circumstances dictate what sort of shelter we build. And in an emergency\, we have to be very creative about how to make a shelter\, or to find something to adapt as a shelter. \nYou will learn about setting up a tent\, and some simple shelter ideas from tarps. \nLearn the most basic of wilderness shelters\,  and work on at least two primitive shelters. Bring gloves! \n  \nYou will also learn about some of the useful plants of the area. \n  \nMeet at Location 2\, Hahamongna Watershed Park.

SUMMARY:SEASONAL FORAGING: Autumn session.  Wild Food and Useful Plants by the Season
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 27\, 10 a.m.    WILD FOOD AND USEFUL PLANTS BY THE SEASON\n \nThis series of workshops\, one per season\, will show you nature through the seasons\, from a forager’s perspective.  The essence of this class is to develop seasonal knowledge and observational skills: How to look\, where to look\, what to look for.  Plus\, we will also focus on responsible and sustainable gathering methods\, including collection of seeds and cuttings so you can grow plants in your own backyard. \n \npalo verde seeds\nLearn how to eat the older nopales\n  \nYou’ll learn how to identify and collect foods\, medicines\, soaps\, fire-materials\, and other useful parts of plants.  You’ll learn to think like foragers of the past\, who had to have an intimate knowledge of the seasons\, and foresight for the future.  (For example\, sometimes you do NO foraging in an area if the plant or seed is not abundant.) \n  \nJoin us each quarter for an insightful walk into a wild area\, with a focus on interpreting what’s available that season.  Each session will include demonstrations\, hands-on practice\, and sampling of the seasonal foods.  Each session includes a list of what is normally available in that season. \n  \nAUTUMN \nIn early autumn\, it is usually dry\, and plants are in a dormant phase.  It’s typically hot\, and dry. Streams will be dry\, or running low.  You’ll only find the hardiest of plants for eating\, such as mustards.  There still might be some manzanitas left to collect\, and the acorns will just be starting to mature and to fall. Though it’s still early for toyon berries\, you’ll be able to observe what sort of crop will be coming. You’ll be able to take note of what to look for in the next few months. \nYou never know what to expect\, but  you might find some greens as well\, usually the hardiest greens\, and the late-blooming greens.  This is a good way to look at the environment at a lean time\, with an eye to the future. \nWe’ll also share a few bushcrafting skills. \n  \nLocation: San Gabriel Mountains.  Meeting location to be sent upon registration. \nClass fee:$65.  (student/senior $45) \nwww.SchoolofSelf-Reliance.com \n  \n  \nNOTE:  We offer a program where you can work at our non-profit in Highland Park doing various tasks\, and earn your way to classes.

SUMMARY:THE ART OF MANAGING RELATIONSHIPS -- a series
DESCRIPTION:THE ART OF MANAGING RELATIONSHIPS\nThis “class” is primarily focused on waking participants to the purpose for and means to see “relationships” in their higher perspective of the overall Purpose for embodiment in a human body.  “Class” is in quotes because the term “class” is used as a communication convenience.  That is because this “class” will serve as a Guidant on the path of Seeking why and how to have and manage relationships.  This “class” will require at least 3 committed class members to attend at the frequency or one “class: per month attendance. \n       Central to our focus in this “class” is gender and all its ramifications. This “class” will focus on human relationships and will include significant others\, marriage partners\, progeny\, siblings\, relatives\, acquaintances\, co-workers\, et al.  The goal is to find the universal Principles in all relationships\, and to discover their overall Purpose\, as well scientific ways to manage those relationships. \n       The class coordinator\, Prudence Boczarski-Chukwudi\, is uniquely qualified to lead the participants to their collective AHAs! because of her over 40 years of study in all aspects of the topic.  Prudence\, in addition\, was close assistant to the original author of this class\, Richard E. White (aka\, REVVE or Key Q. Ell)\, and was mentored to explore and live the Principles taught in the class.  Prudence’s experimentation has led to her own insights regarding relationships that will be helpful to those in need of some guidance in this\, sometimes treacherous\, endeavor called “forming and keeping relationships.” \nA Zoom link is available to those who wish to join electronically.  After paying the class fee of $51 per class and $500 for the 10-class series\, by sending your check or cash to WTI at 5835 Burwood Ave.\, Los Angeles\, CA 90042\, send your email address for a link to the Zoom class. \n Regular fee is $51/class.  $68./couple; $34./ students & elderly\nPlease join us in taking a deep look into relationships and what makes them work.
