    GEOCACHING! I've been "exploring my area" as an action because I've recently moved and this has been an awesome part of the EcoChallenge for me, but I just remembered Geocaching.com! One of the acronyms on the site is YAPIDKA, which means, "Yet Another Park I Didn't Know About" - it's such an amazing way to explore - people hide caches in areas they think other nature lovers will appreciate - it's a leave-it-better-than-you-found-it org., you can do it with kids (several ways to make a game of it, including trackables)... Oh, if you've never tried it I couldn't recommend it more highly - a stellar way to learn about little pockets of beauty in your own back yard! https://www.geocaching.com/play

    Last week we had some new folks join, so I had to do some math to be sure our Weekly Totals and Cumulative Totals were both considered, and once again, Anna Maria took the top prize! Congratulations, Anna Maria! But, keep on checking in because our Top 10 performers will have choices of prizes here as we round out the Ecochallenge!

    Happy Earth Day, Everybody!

    We've got lots of exciting news! Next Wednesday, April 27 at 5pm PT, our very own Karen Wang Diggs will be presenting Nourish Your Microbiome and Save the Planet Learn the connection between our human microbiome and the microbiome of our planet, and why the most important step to becoming an eco-warrior is to first nourish ourselves. In addition, this presentation will also feature several community based movements that are actively engaged to protect and promote resilience and biodiversity in our communities and ecosystems so that the entire fabric of life has the opportunity to flourish in the future.
    (Climate change is a dire situation, BUT there is hope in community actions!)
    Presented by Karen Wang Diggs, Shift Faculty and UC Climate Steward

    Join Us and we will award one full scholarship (wow!) to Karen's upcoming Shift course: The Sacred Kitchen

    I have a 19 year old daughter, and I'm so delighted she cares about the environment. She's learned to thrift, but for special occasions, I can be sure that she'll love (and I can feel good about) anything from https://www.thereformation.com

    In nature
    I am free
    Free as the birds
    Free as the wind
    yet still
    I am held by the trees
    Seen
    Witnessed
    Cared for
    not just by the breath they provide
    but that, too
    their gentle presence is palpable
    never judging
    always available
    and while I walk or skip or dance
    gravity allows me this freedom
    all the while holding me close
    letting me know I am cared for
    and as I relax into that care
    I return Mother Earth's embrace
    an even greater freedom arises
    freedom that naturally opens my heart
    into my own care and availability
    to all of life
    encountering, appreciating and holding dear
    this breath
    this tree
    this squirrel
    the whole mystery
