Topics will include:\r\n\r\n*Fermentation  with Daniel Nicholson\r\n*Organic gardening with <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people\">Ruby Turple</a>\r\n*Wool  spinning and dying with <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people\">Rowen White</a>\r\n*Bicycle maintenance with David Ramey\r\n*Herbal First-aid for Kids with Nacoa Blossom and Tamaura Luckinbill\r\n*and more...\r\n\r\nArrive early on to get the most out of the day.  At 6 pm, we will transition into a community pot-luck and picnic.  Bring your own meats and veggies to grill fresh on the barbecue.  After dinner, we will have a series of musical acts (to be determined - stay tuned!).  The evening festivities will run until 11 pm.\r\n\r\nThere will be a suggested donation of $5 (individual) or $10 (family) at the gate to support the Willow Springs  community project as well as opportunities to make additional donations to each teacher.  Let\'s support and share our local abundance!\r\n\r\nIf you have any questions, or are interested in applying to share a special skill, please contact Jeffrey at (530) 292-3463.... and mark  your calendars for June 26!','classes + events','','inherit','open','open','','44-revision-45','','','2010-06-07 16:28:32','2010-06-07 16:28:32','',44,'http://willowspringsnsj.org/2010/06/07/44-revision-45/',0,'revision','',0),(200,1,'2014-12-11 00:44:42','2014-12-11 00:44:42','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-286  alignnone\" title=\"jeff\" src=\"https://jenkins.liquidweb.com/~willows1/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/jeff-small-tile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"195\" /><em><strong> </strong></em>\n\n<em><strong>Jeff Adams</strong></em> wears many hats in the development of the Willow Springs project.  Since 2006, he has been the steward and facilitator of the community.  Jeff envisions the project as an opportunity to sculpt a place full of inspiring spaces where conceptual visions converge with real, practical action for the San Juan Ridge.\n\nWith a formal education in civil engineering (B.S.E., Princeton 1997), architecture and urban design (M.Arch.

Fronting State Highway 49 (linking together the gold strike towns of 1849) as you enter North San Juan (population 125), the land follows what is thought to be an old filled in creek bed that now saturates the gently sloping meadows during the winter rainy season. Scattered throughout the grassland are houses, barns, garages, and various outbuildings.\n\nWith this fabric of old buildings and fertile land as a starting point, we have methodically and intuitively begun to weave in our vision. At the moment, we are sustaining affordable housing, a half-acre organic farm with a community supported agriculture program, woodwork and <a href=\"http://www.kbguitars.com\">guitar-making</a> shops, a <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/yo-garage\">yoga studio</a> and massage room, <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/directory\">architecture</a> and scultpure studios, and community dining and event space.\n\nAs we restore and regenerate this place, we strive as much as possible to use locally sourced and reused building materials, renewable energy, water pumped and cycled on site, and permaculture gardening practices. We see our desire to heal and strengthen the mind, body, and spirit as necessarily intertwined with these practices and a consciousness of place.\n\n<a href=\"http://willowspringsnsj.org/directory/\"><strong>The People</strong></a>\nThere is a saying that the essence of farming is first and foremost to grow the soil. At Willow Springs, we aspire to cultivate a place where people are nourished and inspired to unlock the potential of their dreams. We believe that within every person lies a unique combination of passion and innate ability capable of sustaining his or her life energy. In providing an environment full of love and evolving natural beauty, we seek to be catalysts in each other\'s growth.\n\nWe are collectively pursuing many passions from design to farming to artisanal crafts. We are an evolving group consciously creating a place that diverges from the norm, yet stays connected.

In providing an   environment full of love and evolving natural beauty, we seek to be catalysts   in each other\'s growth.\r\n\r\nWe are collectively pursuing many passions from design to farming to artisanal crafts.

We believe in salvaging and tinkering; gardening and sharing meals; seeking inspiration for innovation from nature while cherishing its perfection; quietly meditating   and raucously jamming.\r\n\r\nWe are interested in practicing our principles and learning by doing.

Fronting State Highway 49 (linking together the gold strike towns of 1849) as you enter the town, the land follows what is thought to be an old   filled in creek bed that now saturates the gently sloping meadows during the   winter rainy season. Scattered throughout the grassland are houses, barns,   garages, and various outbuildings.\r\n\r\nWith this fabric of old buildings and fertile land as a starting point, we   have methodically and intuitively begun to weave in our vision. At the moment,   we are sustaining affordable housing, a half-acre organic farm and seed saving co-operative, community gardens, woodwork   and <a href=\"http://www.kbguitars.com\">guitar-making</a> shops, a <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/yo-garage\">yoga studio</a> and massage room, a weaving and fiber arts co-operative, office space for   sustainable invention, <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people/jeff\">architecture</a>, and <a href=\"http://www.loverephoto.com\">digital media arts</a>, and community dining and event space.\r\n\r\nAs we restore and regenerate this place, we strive as much as possible to use   locally sourced and reused building materials, renewable energy, water pumped   and cycled on site, and permaculture gardening practices. We see our desire   to heal and strengthen the mind, body, and spirit as necessarily intertwined   with these practices and a consciousness of place.\r\n<a href=\"http://willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people/\"></a>\r\n<a href=\"http://willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people/\"><strong>The People</strong></a>\r\nThere is a saying that the essence of farming is first and foremost to grow   the soil.  At Willow Springs, we aspire to cultivate a place where people are   nourished and inspired to unlock the potential of their dreams.  We   believe that within every person lies a unique combination of passion and   innate ability capable of sustaining his or her life energy.  In providing an   environment full of love and evolving natural beauty, we seek to be catalysts   in each other\'s growth.\r\n\r\nWe are collectively pursuing many passions from design to farming to artisanal crafts.  We are an evolving group   consciously creating a place that diverges from the norm, yet stays connected.   We believe in salvaging and tinkering; gardening and sharing meals; seeking inspiration for innovation from nature while cherishing its perfection; quietly meditating   and raucously jamming.\r\n\r\nWe are interested in practicing our principles and learning by doing. We   embrace the adventure as we experiment with sustainable living. Along the way,   we hope to share some of what we learn.','About Us','','inherit','open','open','','284-revision-10','','','2010-05-28 22:50:01','2010-05-28 22:50:01','',284,'http://willowspringsnsj.org/2010/05/28/284-revision-10/',0,'revision','',0),(396,1,'2010-04-18 23:26:36','2010-04-19 07:26:36','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-286  alignnone\" title=\"jeff\" src=\"https://jenkins.liquidweb.com/~willows1/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/jeff-small-tile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"195\" /><em><strong></strong></em>\n\n<em><strong>Jeff Adams</strong></em> wears many hats in the development of the Willow Springs project.  Since 2006, he has been the steward and facilitator of the community.  Jeff envisions the project as an opportunity to sculpt a place full of inspiring spaces where conceptual visions converge with real, practical action for the San Juan Ridge.\n\nWith a formal education in civil engineering (B.S.E., Princeton 1997), architecture and urban design (M.Arch.

Using and understanding the simple materials of clay, sand and straw, we will mix our own cob, and then sculpt a beautiful community seating area at Willow Springs. In this process, you will learn how cob can be used to build homes, courtyard walls, saunas and benches. We will also focus on the sculptural aspects of cob, creating bas-relief and carving niches.  Outdoor class room time will include a discussion on the history of cob, its applications in modern construction, sourcing out materials,  stone foundations, and earthen plasters. Come prepared to learn, create, make new friends, work hard and get dirty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.californiacob.com\">Rob Pollacek</a> has been teaching and building with cob, and other natural materials,  for the last 10 years and  has built a number of homes, as well as many garden walls, saunas and more than 20 cob benches.

the weaving and fiber arts scene is happening thanks to Rowan and Jenny\'s vision; Krepe Nite led by Pascal continues to be an annual hit featuring good eats and shining a light on local musical talent (props to Aedryan for organizing this); Ken and Lebin keep cranking out amazing guitars and woodwork, respectively, in their rootsy, salvaged shop spaces; Maroo has helped to hold space the Community House with her sparkling energy; in collaboration with Ruby and Honey Circle Farm, we\'ve initiated a WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) internship program this summer; David Lovere has been jamming on photography (many of our new photos are thanks to him) and web design; even Rose has found an important role maintaining the well water and feeding animals as needed; and I\'m actually feeling grounded enough myself to seek out other design projects (currently creating a building design for Mimi) while cranking on my studying for architecture licensing exams this month.\n\nI\'m confident that we\'re starting to lay the foundation for something powerful to emerge here at Willow Springs.  Quality individuals continue to step forth to lend a helping hand from David Woods to Mike Foxfoot to Barton to Cob Rob to Erin Noel to David Ramey to so many, many others.  It takes a village to raise a child and it also takes a village to create a village.  I\'ll keep you posted on what lies ahead.','Spring musings','','inherit','open','open','','155-revision-5','','','2009-06-07 14:38:46','2009-06-07 22:38:46','',155,'http://willowspringsnsj.org/2009/06/07/155-revision-5/',0,'revision','',0),(416,1,'2010-05-31 18:07:15','2010-05-31 18:07:15','Happy Memorial Day everyone.

Fronting State Highway 49 (linking together the gold strike towns of 1849) as you enter the town, the land follows what is thought to be an old   filled in creek bed that now saturates the gently sloping meadows during the   winter rainy season. Scattered throughout the grassland are houses, barns,   garages, and various outbuildings.\r\n\r\nWith this fabric of old buildings and fertile land as a starting point, we have methodically and intuitively begun to weave in our vision. At the moment, we are sustaining affordable housing, a half-acre organic farm and seed saving co-operative, community gardens, woodwork and <a href=\"http://www.kbguitars.com\">guitar-making</a> shops, a <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/yo-garage\">yoga studio</a> and massage room, a weaving and fiber arts co-operative, office space for sustainable invention, <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people/jeff\">architecture</a>, and <a href=\"http://www.loverephoto.com\">digital media arts</a>, and community dining and event space.\r\n\r\nAs we restore and regenerate this place, we strive as much as possible to use locally sourced and reused building materials, renewable energy, water pumped and cycled on site, and permaculture gardening practices. We see our desire to heal and strengthen the mind, body, and spirit as necessarily intertwined with these practices and a consciousness of place.\r\n<a href=\"http://willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people/\"></a>\r\n<a href=\"http://willowspringsnsj.org/wp/people/\"><strong>The People</strong></a>\r\nThere is a saying that the essence of farming is first and foremost to grow   the soil.  At Willow Springs, we aspire to cultivate a place where people are nourished and inspired to unlock the potential of their dreams.  We   believe that within every person lies a unique combination of passion and innate ability capable of sustaining his or her life energy.  In providing an environment full of love and evolving natural beauty, we seek to be catalysts in each other\'s growth.\r\n\r\nWe are collectively pursuing many passions from design to farming to artisanal crafts.  We are an evolving group   consciously creating a place that diverges from the norm, yet stays connected.   We believe in salvaging and tinkering; gardening and sharing meals; seeking inspiration for innovation from nature while cherishing its perfection; quietly meditating and raucously jamming.\r\n\r\nWe are interested in practicing our principles and learning by doing. We   embrace the adventure as we experiment with sustainable living. Along the way, we hope to share some of what we learn.','about us','','inherit','open','open','','284-revision-13','','','2010-05-28 23:55:23','2010-05-28 23:55:23','',284,'http://willowspringsnsj.org/2010/05/28/284-revision-13/',0,'revision','',0),(418,1,'2010-05-29 19:04:45','2010-05-29 19:04:45','<strong>the yo\'garage</strong>: The spiritual center of Willow Springs.  We have 10 weekly classes and ongoing workshops and special events. <a href=\"http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/yo-garage\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Crepe Nite</strong>: We will be hosting Crepe Nite each Thursday during the month of June (beginning on the 3rd).  The final Crepe Nite will be on a Monday to celebrate the solstice (June 21).\r\n\r\n<strong>Cob Workshop</strong>: With Rob Pollacek.

I, UCLA 2003), and permaculture design (Certified Designer, OAEC 2006), Jeff has been getting much in-the-field experience during the last five years of work on Willow Springs. More than anything else, he brings the wide perspective of a generalist and has applied the team-building skills from his architecture work to ensure the community operates in harmony.  Jeff has recently begun Willow Springs Studios with the mission of applying the broad range of experience from his home base to local projects in North San Juan and to others looking to develop community projects with common values.\n\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-294 alignnone\" title=\"ken-small\" src=\"https://jenkins.liquidweb.com/~willows1/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ken-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"195\" /><em><strong></strong></em>\n\n<em><strong>Ken Bebensee</strong></em> is a full-time, artist-in-residence specializing in exquisite custom electric guitars and basses under the name <a href=\"http://www.kbguitars.com\">KB Guitars</a>. He is also an enthusiastic tinkerer, constantly fashioning old materials into new functional forms (such as heating water from his wood stove).

Back pain is frequently  caused by improper posture as well, especially repetitive movements like  bending over in the garden, or sitting in a car or desk for long hours.\r\n\r\nIn  this workshop, you will learn about some of the causes of back pain and  learn how to treat them.  You will learn two easy sets of yoga postures  of 20 minutes or less each, done in a chair and on the floor, which  will reduce back pain by gently stretching affected areas.  You will  also learn about foods, herbs, aromatherapy, colors, sound and touch  therapy techniques which will help reduce pain.\r\n\r\nYoga  and Ayurveda are sister sciences which are both about 5000 years old  and inextricably linked: they were never meant to be separated.  Yoga is  considered the spiritual practice, not just a workout, and Ayurveda is  the way to maintain perfect health so the yogi has a longer time in life  to be able to attain the spiritual principles.  They are like two sides  of a coin.  But you don’t have to be a yogi or wish for enlightenment  to desire a better quality of life.\r\n\r\n<strong>Kirtan</strong>: With Punya and guests. <strong>Saturday, JANUARY 15, 7:30 to 9:00 pm</strong> (now every <strong>THIRD</strong> Saturday of the month).  <em>By donation.</em> Chanting is a powerful way to clear  the mind and open the heart.
