Hello,

We are all aware that our world is undergoing somewhat unsettling transitions due to both significant shifts in the Earth’s climate as well as radical changes to global economics and politics, also largely driven by the climate change.  These changes and the associated challenges they bring, are all over the news reminding us to “prepare” for these types of challenges not only for ourselves, our families but for our communities. Some of us are hopeful and have the intention to move through these events to an awakened and livable state of existence together as a collective whole. In any case, however, turbulent these changes will be, we can become informed and obtain the simple skills to make our daily practical existence less stressful as well as less dangerous.

I found a link some time ago to an article that sums up one aspect of what we will most likely be living with in the future—more disasters. I give you this link not to create a doom and gloom thought process, but to create an awareness of the benefits of being prepared and being prepared to assist those around you.  Please give this an honest read. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43034779/ns/slatecom/   Even though this information is coming through our highly filtered mainstream media, it accurately describes the current situation, where the cascading consequences of both natural and political disasters reveal our technological dependencies. A recent example of such dependencies is the power outage in Arizona/California/Mexico, http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/08/extensive-power-outages-reported-in-southern-california/ , this outage directly affected over 6 million people and will likely be an increasingly common occurrence in our future. In addition to the ongoing climate changes and geopolitical upheavals, we are entering a period of increased solar activity, which in most calculations will likely have far reaching effects on power distribution and electronic communications and controls. http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2006/0312-sun_darkens_electronics.htm
Being prepared logically makes sense and is the key word as we move forward through these transitions and the inedible transformation.

I am offering the first of what will likely be a series of classes at the Dojo, providing the practical and logical steps to become prepared for our future. This will allow you to safely and more effortlessly move through these transitions. I wish to share my extensive skills and background to assist you, your loved ones and your communities. I will provide in an informative way the tools needed for the likely increase of these natural disasters and the logical consequences of their collective impact. Giving yourself the time now, will allow you to put things into place in your lives to mitigate the effects, both mentally and materially, of these events before they inevitably occur.

Classes will be held at Komyozan, 1922 N. 21st St., Boise, Idaho.
Sunday, October 16th, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 pm
Class cost is $35.
Bring writing materials and a lunch.

Parking will be at Elm Grove Park, one block west of the Dojo.
