New Group Formed To Interpret Dreams
August 11, 2010
Hello friends,
I am excited to share my new group with you! I invite you to check the group (see below and on Meetup.com) http://www.meetup.com/A-Dream-Centered-Life-in-Edmonds
Please join me and share this with anyone you feel has an interest. Our first meeting is next Tuesday, August 17th.
“Dreams can be of tremendous value, showing us where we are stuck and pointing the way to the next step on Spiritual Journey. In this group, participants learn how to interpret their own dreams as well as how to “tend” the dreams of others in an atmosphere of trust, support and discovery. Through various creative dreamwork techniques, we learn how to listen to the wisdom of our unconscious mind.
The group will meet once a month at my office in Edmonds and a cost of $35.00 per session.
“One would do well to treat every dream as though it were a totally unknown object. Look at it from all sides, take it in your hand, carry it about with you, and let your imagination play around with it.”
C.G. Jung”

From Heather Swift Nordell, M.S. Management ‘02 :

http://www.wildernesscollege.com/support-files/earth-bag-workshop-flyer.pdf
These structures are used for housing, emergency shelters and many other applications such as garden, tool and bike sheds. These are great for helping to provide low-cost housing solutions and for building community. Join Alderleaf Wilderness College’s 5-day, hands-on workshop. Learn from experienced natural builder Eli Adadow.
2. Looking for a green, co-housing community? Coming soon! The Trails at Newcastle will be a 4-Star Built Green co-housing community in Newcastle, Washington. A common house, community organic garden, proximity to parks, hiking trails and other amenities are just some of what make Trails special. Find out more during regular site tours and information meetings on our website:
http://www.trailsatnewcastle.com
Trails will have 32 Built Green homes with a community-oriented design that favors people over cars. The clustered, small-footprint houses face one another with peripheral parking. There is a common house and community organic garden and onsite shared car. It is located on a bus route, sidewalk and bike lane. The homes are adjacent to a protected, forested wetland that will never be developed. It’s across the street from stunning Lake Boren Park and is nestled within a network of hiking trails within the area including connection to Cougar Mountain. The project is using passive house technology for high energy efficiency, low-impact development, restorative landscaping, and has significant plans for wildlife stewardship.
Nordell is an instructor at both Antioch University Seattle and Alderleaf Wilderness College, a Trails community member, wildlife tracker and consultant for the Trails at Newcastle.
Alumna Looking for Help in Business
July 2, 2010
from Thyra DeHaven, B.A. 2000 (fountnwrks@msn.com):
I’m one of the new owners of a bathing facility for dogs - The Wash Dog in West Seattle… http://www.thewashdog.com.
self-service, along with professional bathers and grooming (haircuts for dogs… 
We’re looking for a part-time experienced dog groomer, with at least 2 years of clipping and sissoring experience…. and we’re having a devil of a time finding someone. We’re a fun place to work and we actively seek people who understand and are gentle with dogs.
Do you think there’s any chance an Antioch’s alum’s son or daughter might have these skills and would want to work part-time in West Seattle a couple of days a week… we’re open to negotiating hours.
Antioch Alumna Needs Your Help
June 30, 2010
To all of you who care about public education, I invite you to go to this website (http://www.petitiononline.com/Teachers/petition.html), read this petition and sign it. I have been involved with this group, Teachers Letters to Obama, for not quite a year now.
The group is on Facebook and social networking has created quite a buzz about the power of individuals to help effect change. This group has put together a book of letters to President Obama about what we would like to see changed in the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind/Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Since sending off the letters, we formed a smaller steering committee and had the opportunity to talk to US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. We have held several online webinars regarding the issues in today’s education environment. And now we have created this document which we are trying to get to Congress as they begin work on the reauthorization of the law this summer. This is just the sort of thing I learned to do at Antioch.
I hope all of you will sign the petition and recommend it to your friends. The direction of the current administration is not much better than the old law - and we must get their attention before we destroy public education. Please help!

200 Paid Extras Wanted Immediately For Television Miniseries
May 13, 2010
From Cynthia Reckdahl, former Antioch University Seattle Board of Visitors member:
Project 1: “Japanese Americans”
We are working on a great project (see synopsis below) and could use your help! If you or someone you know fits the bill, have them contact Gordon for more details: gordon@bigfishnw.com.
A 10-hour miniseries being produced to commemorate the 60 year anniversary of TBS. TBS is one of Japan’s nationwide television stations http://www.tbs.co.jp/. The program deals with the Japanese internment camps that were located throughout our region during WWII.
Venue: Foreign Television Programming
Character: Background/Extra
Rate: $80/day.
Location: Seattle
Period 1919 years (You do not need to provide period wardrobe, production will request a few basics from you but will provide the rest of the wardrobe.
SYNOPSIS
The mini-series is about the struggles a young man goes through to establish himself
in the United States after having immigrated from Japan in 1919 as a 19 year old man.
After 7 years of struggle, he finally finds stability as a farm worker. He goes on to
marry a woman and starts a family in the midst of racial turmoil due to the fact that
Americans were not yet accustomed to Asian people being in the United States, working
in labor positions and owning property. The struggles only worsen as Japan’s role in
World War II intensifies culminating in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Once the bombing
occurs, the FBI begins to round up all potential enemies of the US, mainly Japanese,
and detain them in various internment camps around the Western US. The story then
focuses on life inside the camp and shows the resilience as well as the determination
of people in the midst of strife. The main character Chokichi, heads up a movement
within the camp to turn a desert countryside into fertile ground that yields vegetables
for their life on the inside.
The story alternates between present 2010 and the 1920’s and 40’s as the family reunites
after 70 years of separation. As they educate one of their grandchildren about the story
of their great grandfather Chokichi, the scenes take them back to times in the 1920’s
and 40’s that give a small insight into the kind of life the Japanese first and second
generations lived in the US. Even after the struggles they all endured, they insisted
on staying in the United States; a country they had become citizens of and loved as their own.
