SPIRAL DANCE around the Tree-Sits to Save the Oaks in Berkeley
The Spiral Dance, led by the Reclaiming Collective, will start at 2 pm, but you are invited to come earlier, or drop in any time to see the oaks and meet the tree-sitters.
Come and support the tree-sitters in the Oaks and have magical ~*FUN~* on Saturday
SPIRAL DANCE around the Tree-Sits to Save the Oaks in Berkeley: Saturday, Jan. 6 starting at 2 pm
Brave and wily activists climbed several grandmother oak trees at Memorial Stadium on UC Berkeley property one month ago on December 2. Tree-sitters and support people have been at this beautiful oak grove 24 hours a day since, adding another dimension to the campaign to save the oaks from university chain saws and development plans. To celebrate the one month anniversary of the tree-sits through the cold and the rain, and to celebrate the oaks, we will gather on Saturday, Jan 6 to bring our power together, to invoke magic, and to stand with Mother Earth, who brought her voice to the oaks debate with the recent flurry of earthquakes near the site.
There are several lawsuits filed; an injunction hearing is scheduled in Oakland Superior court (600 Washington St.) Jan. 11.
COME AND DANCE WITH THE OAKS !
LOCATION:
The oak grove is just below Memorial Stadium on Piedmont Avenue, just north of Bancroft Ave. and the International House.
TIME:
The Spiral Dance, led by the Reclaiming Collective, will start at 2 pm, but you are invited to come earlier, or drop in any time to see the oaks and meet the tree-sitters.
BRING some food to share if you like, musical instruments and a strong spirit. DRESS WARMLY!

We've been dancing in this beautiful oak grove for thousands of years! Usually we're underground, helping the roots of the trees and other plants with our mutually beneficial mycorrhizal exchanges. But when the wet weather comes around, we put on our stalks and caps and dance in circles and spirals and other surprising patterns in the rich oak leaf duff of this groove. For more information on how we operate our underground community, check out the magazine: The Permaculture Activist http://www.permacultureactivist.net (The August 2006 issue has a couple articles of interest: Mysteries of the Soil Food Web by Bart Anderson, and Mycelium as Nature's Internet by Paul Stamets). Also check out http://www.fungi.com for more information about fungi in general. BE VERY CAREFUL about eating wild mushrooms; many are deadly poisonous. Be sure to do serious research in books and in person with experts. We hope our home at this oak grove will not be disturbed. It would be nice if people stopped trampling all over us and stay on the sidewalk. We'd appreciate it if people would restore our hillside to a more natural setting.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
