LoveATX and Greenheart Creative encourage you to join us for an alcohol free February!
We’ve all been there… self-imposed retardation…
-aka- gettin’ crunk!
Is 2012 the time for change? The choice is yours. Change starts within each and every one of us. The troubles of the world are reflected in our lives, in the choices we make. Choose to live fully by removing the factors that suppress your natural vibrance and infinite potential… then we’ll change the world!
LoveATX’s goal is to develop a holistic culture in Austin, encouraging all to live and love wholly, respecting our self, the earth, and all inhabitants as one organism.
Throughout the month of February we will host alcohol free fun gatherings to serve as an alternative to the drinking life. This is a great opportunity to connect with others who live alcohol free, or to give the alcohol free life a test ride.
We have entered into a pivotal year in human history.
Now is the time to rise to the occasion, shine our hearts’ light, and expand & amplify the healing current that we are creating together.
Let’s center ourselves and connect with our roots as we move into this important time. We’re taking the first MedMob of 2012 to the downtown farmer’s market and sharing the love with the local community!
Our intention for this month’s meditation is to open ourselves up as channels to the energy of the universe and to allow it to flow down through us, nourishing the roots of our Austin community and enlightening the core of our mother earth.
We will start with a 45 minute silent meditation and then join our voices for a fifteen minute sound bath, radiating healing vibrations! Stick around to connect with your Austin family and support our local farmers and artisans!
Invite everyone: roommates, parents, kids, neighbors, co-workers, bus buddies, the person sitting next to you in yoga class, the cars on either side of you at a stop light, your FACEBOOK friends. Take a minute to introduce a curious friend to meditation and then invite them too! or invite three people and carpool together.

Well, it’s true. Food IS free! Right off the tree, you see?
Welcome to the official launch of the Food is Free Project! We’ll mingle over some tasty treats, and share ideas for how the Food is Free Project will unfold in Austin. Following the magic will be live music by Wise Child.
Saturday, January 21, 2012
Starts at 5pm
@ The Sanctuary at Amala Foundation
1006 South 8th Street, Austin, TX 78704
We already have 10 states and 2 other countries on board before even launching the movement, so Austin will be an example for the rest of the world! Be a part of the magic.
Find out how the Food is Free Project works and the logistics of organizing it on your own block. We know that y’all will have some great ideas to bring to the table since the vision is still unfolding.
What is the Food is Free Project?
The Food is Free Project grows community and food, while helping gain independence from a broken agricultural system. Free wicking beds built from salvaged materials will be available to hosts who wish to offer free harvests to their neighbors, friends and community. Time to take back our food and meet our neighbors. Invite your friends to join the mission. Transform your own neighborhood and become a garden host.
Do you feel like a tourist in our local forests? Are the trails painted with a sea of ‘green’? Wanna learn about your local plants and develop a deeper connection with them? There are many edible, medicinal, and otherwise useful plants right here in Central Texas! Wouldn’t you like to get to know them?
Join DGR and some local naturalists for a free Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk.
We’ll meet near the Hillside Theatre, an outdoor stage, at the head of the Barton Creek Greenbelt Trail. If you can’t find us, call 512-537-3476.
Deep Green Resistance is a movement geared towards reestablishing our connection with the natural world, and dismantling the systems that are destroying our home. The walk will end with a brief discussion about how getting to know our land relates to the DGR strategy and analysis.
Our last walk was a good time. Thirty folks showed up! We learned what worked and what didn’t work about the last one, and this one will be even better.
Third Coast Sunday Launch Party: Celebrating Progressive Politics and Radical Roots
Across the country and around the world, people are rejecting old systems of concentrated wealth and power and calling for a more just and sustainable world. This radical spirit has created new connections and reinvigorated groups that have long been fighting for progressive social change. That same energy is pulsing through Austin, opening up new opportunities for collaboration on analysis and action.
In this spirit, a group of young activists is launching a monthly gathering for progressives interested both in critiquing the old order and creating a new world. What needs to be torn down, and what needs to be built up? This monthly gathering will be a place to share ideas, build connections, and find opportunities for action — both for those new to political organizing and those who’ve been in the fight for decades.
The first gathering will provide an opportunity for folks to get to know each other. There will be plenty of time for informal conversation while enjoying locally brewed beer from Black Star Co-op, Via 313 pizza, and the always popular vegan donuts from Red Rabbit Bakery. Music will be provided by local jazz musicians Alec MacIntyre & Friends.
For more information, contact Braden Latham-Jones, lathamjones@gmail.com.
Admission is free, with donations accepted to help with the costs of food.
In the past ten years, the organic food industry has become big business and consumers have been left wondering exactly what the word “Organic” means and how they can really know what they’re eating.
With the rise of farmer’s markets and more and more chefs sourcing their ingredients from local farms, consumers are now able to meet and talk to the people who are growing their food.
LOCAL discusses the rise of the local food movement, the challenges of sourcing locally and how it’s become a growing part of the Austin, Texas food scene.
