DESCRIPTION:Placemaking, Restoring the Civic Ecosystem & Natural Building- Hands 
 On\n\nSaturday, June 30 2007\n10:00am to 4:00pm\nRSVP at 
 Playshop@uas.coop\n\nJoin the Urban Alliance for Sustainability for a day 
 of practices we can apply to work in "restoring the civic ecosystem". The 
 morning will begin with a class, Introduction to Cob Building. Materials, 
 methods, design, and structure will be discussed and we will do hands-on 
 building. We will study the first layer of existing cob bench in the park 
 and plan to complete it. When the work is done we will break for a local, 
 organic, vegetarian UAS lunch. The afternoon will follow with a discussion 
 on how we can affect the built environment to create community spaces and 
 cultivate a sense of place. \n\nA UAS Playshop is like a workshop without 
 the work, intendended to be fun, informative, and inspiring.\n\nCost: 
 $15-20 donation requested, no one turned away for lack of funds\n\nOur 
 teachers for this event are:\n\nLindsay Wilson - Permaculture 
 Designer\n\nLindsay started her earthen building journey with an indigenous 
 permaculture training in 2002 with Grupo Maya. Since then, she has helped 
 build two cob tool sheds, a cob cottage, and a cob bench, and she has 
 helped replastering an adobe house (all in California!). Wanting to know if 
 large earthen structures could indeed exist and last on this planet, 
 Lindsay flew to India's international, intentional community - Auroville. 
 There she took a seminar in Compressed Stabilized Earthen Brick (CSEB) and 
 witnessed many amazing local structures. Other interests include herbal 
 medicine, yoga, and group processing.\n\nKachina Katrina Zavalney- City 
 Repair, Portland\n\nAs a grass-roots organizer, deeply rooted in any 
 community she joins and works with, Katrina synchronizes with the 
 indigenous heart beat and inspires people to achieve more. She has a gentle 
 push that motivates people from deep inside. She loves to be involved in 
 progressive communities that facilitate systemic change. Kachina Katrina 
 has been referred to as a master networker, connecting broad spectrums of 
 people together through important issues and innovative solutions. She has 
 learned and practiced community building and organizing skills with the 
 City Repair Project, Portland since 1999, becoming their national outreach 
 coordinator. \n\n\nAbout Urban Alliance for Sustainability (UAS):\n\nUAS 
 seeks to integrate and inspire the sustainability movement in the San 
 Francisco Bay Area and beyond. By returning focus to solutions instead of 
 problem statements, UAS hopes to activate the energy of those individuals 
 and organizations that are feeling overwhelmed or helpless in this 
 currently unsustainable world. For more information or to get involved,
