Dinner at Doe Creek
  Green Connections' First Annual Prairie Dinner and
Concert was more than we ever imagined it to be. Again and again we are
stunned by what happens when we take the time to spend time in the
natural world: the natural world gifts us (on that particular evening, with a yellow and pink sky as the sun went out of view.) Again and again we are
stunned by what happens when friends gather at table and eat healthy
food grown in ways that are good for Earth: we are nourished deeply. Again and again we are stunned at how much fun we can have together
doing the simple things, like taking a walk in the country or listening to music: our souls are healed.
New to us was the experience of joining people all around the globe
making the same statement: "We are willing to do what needs to be done
for a healthy planet." We realize our connectedness and the power of grass-roots movements. And so it was
that wonderful Saturday night in late October when we gathered
alongside Doe Creek for local food, then walked up the road to the
round-top barn for a rousing and moving concert. Our gratitude to Kamala Gamble,
Kyle Dillingham, Woods and Waters Wines, volunteers and Green
Connections board members for helping create such a wonderful evening.
And a special thank you to all those who came to the dinner. Proceeds from this event will go towards achieving our dream of a
straw-bale-constructed retreat center. If you want to contribute
towards that effort, see below.
