DESCRIPTION:Benefit for Free Community Health Programs in Oakland & New 
 Mexico\n\nFeaturing:\nEmbers\nSpeed of 
 Darkness\nSomnolence\nCrucifixion\n\nEl Rio, 3158 Mission St., 
 SF\nThursday, September 9\nDoors at 8pm\n$5-10 sliding scale\n\nProceeds 
 will be split between the following programs:\n\nStreet Level Health 
 Project started in 2000 in East Oakland with the goal of improving the 
 health and well-being of underserved urban immigrant communities in the Bay 
 Area. The organization is an entry point to the health care system for 
 those most often overlooked and neglected, namely the uninsured, 
 underinsured, and recently arrived. The programs are particularly geared 
 towards the local day laborer population. Street Level offers a wide 
 variety of free services, including: medical screening, a lunch program, 
 mental health support, and more. The Herbal Medicine/Nutrition program 
 began in October 2009, with the aim of offering alternative and 
 preventative options for both acute and chronic conditions. These services 
 are available in Spanish & English every Tuesday 
 afternoon.\nhttp://www.streetlevelhealth.org\n\nCrystal, NM is located in 
 the heart of the Navajo Nation approximately 30 miles northeast of Window 
 Rock, AZ, the Navajo Nation capital. With this project we are hoping to 
 bring comprehensive, alternative, holistic methods of treatment to the 
 community, on private property.  This concept is more similar to 
 traditional Navajo healing ceremonies which are generally hosted by a 
 family rather than an impersonal clinic setting which is antithetical to 
 Navajo cultural beliefs.  The Begay family, a large, locally well-known, 
 extended family, has hosted many traditional ceremonies, and has kindly 
 offered to host this project as well. We hope not only to bring more 
 culturally compatible medicine to the community of Crystal, NM, but we also 
 hope that there is a spark of interest on the part of some local residents 
 in learning CranioSacral Therapy or Traditional Chinese Medicine, in which 
 case, an apprenticeship program will be 
 offered.\nhttp://www.casabesu.org/navajoproject.htm\n\n
