*Seed Sharing Protocol:*
1. Do not share seeds of invasive species! If you are not sure you can
go to https://plants.usda.gov/java/noxious?rptType=State&statefips=15
2. Do not share brassica seeds as spread of blackrot can happen, it is a
seed-borne disease and many of the seed companies are having a problem
with this.
3. Do not share old seeds as germination may be low.
4. label or bring a description of each of the seeds you share including
date of harvest.
5. Bring your own seed envelopes or baggies and markers for labeling.
6. Do not bring seeds and put them on another seed-sharers table unless
you have a very good description of the seeds/date and crop and
permission of the person at the table.

Dances of Universal Peace (Sufi dances)*
*Friday Nov 7th,*
* 7-9 pm* Laakea community.
Dances of Universal Peace (Sufi dances) are easily learned spiritual
folk dances from all traditions, with gentle movements that even
"non-dancers" can greatly enjoy. Singing sacred, ancient phrases
creates a full body healing vibration, and when conscious movement is
added, these become powerful spiritual practices. Each dance will be
fully taught, no experience is necessary. These are interactive and
participatory, not a performance.
