In our current political climate, the term lobbying is kind of a dirty word, often associated with big money, special interests and backroom deals. But there’s another way to look at it. Lobbying is one way a group of people with shared policy interests or goals can influence, persuade or pressure elected officials to support our ideas. If we want to build power in our communities, lobbying should be one tool in our organizing toolkit.
Come engage with us around what lobbying is and how we can use it to win on issues we care about.

Introduction to The Work of Byron Katie
with BJ Harden Jones

I invite you to discover firsthand the profound experiential difference between believing your thoughts and questioning them. In my experience, this very simple lifestyle change awakens us to the love and perfection that the mystics have foretold for ages.

This series will introduce you to the basic tools of The Work of Byron Katie, will guide you in applying them effectively in your life, and will facilitate a change in your relationship with your mind that will never leave you.

There’s an art to accessing truth. The Work helps us train in that mystical art.
Join me on the journey toward the end of suffering.

“When your mind is open, your heart is open, and you know the way.
There is no one who doesn’t know the way.”
– Byron Katie

THE BLUE EYED BETTYS. With Daniel Emond on banjo, Sarah Hund on fiddle, and Ben Mackel on guitar, The Blue Eyed Bettys delight with their Americana-Folk-Bluegrass sound. But what always seems to grab audiences immediately are their powerful vocals in three part harmony. Playing a mix of originals and covers, they put their own Betty twist on songs by a diverse array of artists such The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and Simon & Garfunkel. They have played venues and festivals throughout the U.S., including Lincoln Center NYC and the Ocrafolk Festival.

All actors by trade, The Blue Eyed Bettys met while doing a play
together in Sarasota, FL.

“The Blue Eyed Bettys lit up the stage… with a mix of tunes that was part traditional and mostly innovative. And it was damn good.” – Doug Thompson, Blue Ridge Muse

“The Blue Eyed Bettys are easily the most exciting Americana act to
hit Sarasota in the past year…. Their sweet harmonies drive smart
originals and judiciously chosen covers.” – Wade Tatangelo,
SarasotaHerald-Tribune
