      <description>&lt;div&gt;
				Cast and crew wanted.&#xD;
&#xD;
Synopsis&#xD;
&#xD;
Title Blue Paper&#xD;
&#xD;
Blue Paper is an unreleased music track from the artist/singer Moby. This film is set to this music track and the emotions that it has conveyed for me personally. I have permission and license to use the track from Moby. The film will appear on Moby’s channel on Vimeo. This is for no profit and non-commercial purposes. This is a non-paid monetary gig. The pay is in the form of creativeness&#xD;
for those who recognize it.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
The story.&#xD;
&#xD;
A boy is being bullied at school and his father is presently despairing after witnessing his wife having sex with another male. The boy rides his three-wheeled red bike home from school and during the journey changes occur in his life that reconcile the future to the present or vise versa.&#xD;
&#xD;
My preference here in this short film is to withhold as much information as possible until the moments of acting begin. This is in a similar way that the filmmaker and director Robert Bresson conducted his work in order to get the best possible reaction from the actors/models. He never used professional actors/models. You can visit his site here http://www.mastersofcinema.org/bresson/ if you are interested in his work and this project. This film is not an attempt to replicate his work but I like how he employed the actors or models as he called them, and methods he used to get a natural presence of the human body or as described by those who worked with him: “non-professional models allowed unconscious states of soul to be revealed” &#xD;
&#xD;
That is what I want to attempt here with this short, so it is an experiment if you like.&#xD;
There is no dialogue or monologue.&#xD;
&#xD;
So any of you who are interested this is what I need.&#xD;
&#xD;
Actors/Models:&#xD;
&#xD;
Female / Mother late 20’s-30’s (however, I am not stuck on this, as the husband/father could be older).&#xD;
Headshot needed.&#xD;
Preference for non blonde-haired woman, but will consider.&#xD;
Willing to be nude, maybe upper body only, but the emphasis is on eyes, face and hands.&#xD;
Height N/A&#xD;
&#xD;
Male / Father.  As above for female, but can be older than this.&#xD;
Headshot needed.&#xD;
Preference for black haired male, but will consider all colors.&#xD;
Beard growth at time of filming. The beard growth will create a tired look and one of despair.&#xD;
Good hand writer. Again, not important, but beneficial.&#xD;
Height  5.8-5.10.&#xD;
&#xD;
Boy age 9-10&#xD;
Headshot needed.&#xD;
Possible blonde (but not imperative).&#xD;
Calm disposition.&#xD;
Must be able to follow what we are doing.&#xD;
You know your child best.&#xD;
&#xD;
Boys x 3 age can range from 10-13 year olds.&#xD;
Open to all.&#xD;
Will decide when interviewing.&#xD;
Will play the part of bullying another boy.&#xD;
&#xD;
Male/ grown up boy. 20’s-30’s (but can be older). Age will be determined.&#xD;
Again growth of beard but not tired look but happy.&#xD;
Be able to cry but not imperative.&#xD;
&#xD;
I need a second cameraperson who shoots in SD. I do not have a second camera and it would be good if you had one that you can bring to this project.&#xD;
&#xD;
Here is what I need for the environment of the project.&#xD;
&#xD;
I will state how difficult these requests are from easy to medium and difficult.&#xD;
&#xD;
House that has a big wooden front door and is at street level. The door should open to a wooden hallway that has a door directly ahead at the end of hall and doors to the left and right or right only or left only.  Bedroom with bed left of the door entrance or right. All of the above difficult.&#xD;
Red three wheeled child’s bike. Medium&#xD;
School playground. Easy.&#xD;
Graveyard. Easy.&#xD;
Street. Easy.&#xD;
Scaffolding prop. Easy.&#xD;
&#xD;
In addition, if there is anybody interested in being a P.A on set please get in touch. I would also be interested in anybody who would like to be involved. This project will take place in Berkeley/Oakland California. Furthermore, if anybody knows where else that I can post this to get interest please let me know.&#xD;
&#xD;
The short will definitely get airplay via Moby’s own video channel and will be an obvious benefit for those wishing to use the reel for their portfolio. I am not working for Moby. Moby makes unreleased tracks and posts them via his website http://mobygratis.com/film-music.html&#xD;
Moby makes them available upon request for license and you must open an account with Moby to access the music. You can listen to the Blue Paper track on page three of Moby’s site after you have opened an account. The music is available to student and independent filmmakers like me free of charge. However, if you intend to use the music for profit purposes you will be charged a fee, which is donated, to the humane society. &#xD;
&#xD;
If you feel, you or any of your children fit any of the above or know someone who would be interested please let me know. In addition, if any of the environmental needs are close to what I need, again, please let me know and I will come and take a look.&#xD;
&#xD;

      <description>&lt;a href="http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/listing/Call-for-Altarists-for-9th-Annual-Pagan-Festival-in-Berkeley/san-francisco-ca/d6deca0b-9cbd-4c2b-bd8a-8f79de4913fc"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/f8c/110/f8c110c7-0772-4965-ae47-1ed4184739cf.thumb" width="54" height="78" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
							&lt;div&gt;
				Greetings Altarists and Artisans,&#xD;
 &#xD;
You are invited to participate in Pagan Festival 2010. This year the festival theme is "Spiral of Life" and focuses on the turning of the wheel through the seasons as well as through the stages of our lives.&#xD;
 &#xD;
If you would like to do one of the four directional altars, we request that the design of your altar reflect the theme.  &#xD;
&#xD;
We encourage altars to be interactive if at all possible.  If an altar is not intended to be &#xD;
interactive, we request that signs are place on or posted near your &#xD;
altar that would discourage touching if necessary.  At this time, altar builders are needed for all the directions except for the NORTH.&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
The Pagan Alliance altar, Altar to the Beloved Dead and other non-directional altars including those to Deity will be on the paved area on the west side of the park.  Altars in these areas are the choice of each Altarist and do not necessarily represent the festival theme. Each of the concepts will be reviewed by the Festival Committee. &#xD;
Please feel free to contribute photocopies of photographs of the Beloved Dead to that community altar.&#xD;

				My name is Christoph, originally I am from Germany, and as life long free thinker and truth thinker and I became interested in the idea of personal development in the mid 90's, a time during which I was going through some radical changes and challenges in my life.&#xD;
&#xD;
On January 19, 1991 I left my home in Germany, moved to Kansas, and became integrated as husband and father into a whole new culture and ethnicity.&#xD;
&#xD;
My marriage of 12 years was overshadowed by a great amount of conflict and drama, an experience which put me face to face with my own personal limitations and shortcomings, but also opened me up to a great amount of introspective learning.&#xD;
&#xD;
In 1993 I came across the subject of personal-improvement, something which was very new to me at the time. I became instantaneously fascinated by the whole idea of working on myself, especially since I was facing some very serious challenges in my own life.&#xD;
&#xD;
A few months into my studies I was lead to Stephen Coveys The 7 Habits of highly effective people. In it I found the concept which opened my eyes to the essence of effective personal transformation:&#xD;
&#xD;
"Between what happens to you, and your response to what happens to you lies your ultimate freedom to choose your response."&#xD;
&#xD;
This helped me understand that I myself, and most people in this world do not chose their response to what is happening to them but rather react without thinking, and so I became motivated to learn as much as I could on the subject.&#xD;
&#xD;
After studying countless writers and public speakers such as Dr. Wayne Dwyer, Deepak Chopra, Leo Buscali, John Bradshaw, Dale Carnegy, Anthony Robbins, Peter Drucker, Tom Peters, Ken Blenchard and Earl Nightingale I became extremely inspired by what they had to say, but I began to understand that most of them are pointing us to the same awareness; that we cannot control the circumstance and people outside of us, and that lasting change can only be generated from within once we begin to work on the only person over whom we have ultimate control over, namely ourselves.&#xD;
&#xD;
I realized the tremendous value of this information, and understood that it is quite easy to gain this knowledge on a conceptual level because it just makes sense, but then after a while what has been said and learned gets lost in the same old routine, patterns and habits of life.&#xD;
&#xD;
I then came to find that the missing link is how to put all of this awareness into practice, a way for us not only to be reminded of those universal and timeless truths, but also an outlet which can allow us to learn how to apply this knowledge into how we deal with life on a day to day basis.&#xD;
&#xD;
Out this awareness I developed the concept of realize2actualize, a philosophy (realize) and practice (actualize) of life and learning dedicated to the exploration (realization) and practical application (actualization) of knowledge: http://www.realize2actualize.com&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
My goal is to share what I have learned in form of physical and virtual seminars, workshops, lectures and study groups so others can benefit from my personal learning experiences.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
One of the things I would like to do is create an radio advice program for teenagers, young adults and all others who are going through a difficult time in life and are in need of motivation, inspiration and empowerment. I would like to do a program where I provide some general insight along the lines of personal growth, and to then allow others to call in with their personal situation and problems so I can give them some positive advice, food for thought and provide them with a new way of thinking which can allow them to look at their challenges as opportunity for growth.&#xD;
&#xD;
I also would like to work as motivational and inspirational speaker, and in order to gain valuable experience and exposure in the community I am volunteering my gift of gab and ability to empower others with a life transforming message to various social, cultural and religious organizations who are in need of a positive energy boost.&#xD;
&#xD;

I would like to create an radio advice program for teenagers, young adults and all others who are going through a difficult time in life and are in need of motivation, inspiration, empowerment, positive advice and food for thought which can help them look at their problems as opportunity for growth.&#xD;
&#xD;
I am blessed with the gift of gab and the ability to help others with my uplifting spirit and positive attitude, I just need a little bit of support to utilize those talents in order to benefit others.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
My name is Christoph and I became interested in the idea of personal development in the mid 90's, a time during which I was going through some radical changes and challenges in my life. On January 19, 1991 I left my home in Germany, moved to Kansas, and became integrated as husband and father into a whole new culture and ethnicity.&#xD;
&#xD;
My marriage of 12 years was overshadowed by a great amount of conflict and drama, an experience which put me face to face with my own personal limitations and shortcomings, but also opened me up to a great amount of introspective learning.&#xD;

&#xD;
Between what happens to you, and your response to what happens to you lies your ultimate freedom to choose your response.&#xD;
&#xD;
Once I began to understand the tremendous implications of this principle I became motivated to learn as much as I could on the subject.&#xD;

&#xD;
&#xD;
My long term intention is to develop a school for inter-active learning, create a radio program to inspire people to look at their problems as opportunity for growth and develop my practice as life coach and motivational speaker.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
For more information please view some of my videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/realize2actualize&#xD;
&#xD;
You can also meet me almost every day on http://www.paltalk.com where I created an online meeting room for everyone who would like to interact via text, voice and webcam with other free thinkers, truth speakers and true seekers from around the world. If you have access to a computer with speakers and possibly a microphone (but not required) so you can engage in the dialogue verbally then I would love to meet you in 'A room for conscious rEvolution', located under the category 'Spirituality' and 'Metaphysical'.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
It is my sincere purpose and intention to help others create positive change in their life, but in order to do that I need your valued help, feedback and support.&#xD;

      <title>A practical philosophy of life and learning is seeking your support</title>
      <link>http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/listing/A-practical-philosophy-of-life-and-learning-is-seeking-your-support/san-francisco-ca/ac05f396-e20b-4f50-a21f-d252fdc36c79</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
				My name is Christoph and I am very interested in the idea of self development and the evolution of consciousness.&#xD;
&#xD;
After stydying countless writers and public speakers such as Dr. Wayne Dwyer, Deepak Chopra, Leo Buscali, John Bradshaw, Dale Carnegy, Anthony Robbins, Peter Drucker, Tom Peters, Ken Blenchard and Earl Nightingale I became extremely inspired by what they had to say, but I found that most of them are pointing us to the same awareness; that we cannot control the circumstance and people outside of us, and that positive change can be generated from within as we begin to work on the only person over whom we have ultimate control over, namely ourselves.&#xD;
&#xD;
While I realized the value of this information, and most all of us who are reading a book or attending a seminar on the subject feel that this awareness has the power to transform, but then after a while most of what has been said and learned gets lost in the old day to day routine of life.&#xD;
&#xD;
I came to find that the missing link is how put all of that knowledge into practice, a way to examine and change our deep rooted patterns of thinking, feeling and re-acting, an outlet which can allow us to not only to be reminded of those universal and timeless truth, but a way to learn how to apply what we learn into how we deal with and live life.&#xD;
&#xD;
Out this awareness I developed the concept of realize2actualize, a philosophy (realize) and practice (actualize) of life and learning which is all about the exploration (realization) and practical application (actualization) of knowledge: http://www.realize2actualize.com&#xD;
&#xD;
My long term intention is to develop a school for inter-active learning and create a radio program to inspire and motivate people to look at their problems as opportunity for growth, help those who are lost, confused, frustrated and need constructive advice with their personal challenges.&#xD;
&#xD;
I began recording videos 3 yeas ago, and basically what I did back then was take the camera to the streets of SF, and while filming I spoke my mind about my own personal challenges and ideas on life, self improvement, change, philosophy and spirituality: http://www.youtube.com/realize2actualize&#xD;
&#xD;
By now I have almost 900 videos of my own material available, many of them are just random videos of me filming and talking about day to day stuff, but most of them are presentations of me speaking directly into the camera and talking about some very simple yet powerful concepts which have the potential of helping a lot of people.&#xD;
&#xD;
None of what I say in those videos is scripted but rather is following my natural flow of consciousness, but I would like to learn, and so maybe this is also something you can help me with; to become more organized and structured in order to get my message across in a more effective and less time consuming manner.&#xD;
&#xD;
Over the years of me making those videos I have gained a great amount of additional insight and experience and developed into a very dynamic speaker who has gained the ability to inspire others in a new way of thinking, but when it comes to the organizational aspects of this project I could benefit from your valued assistance.&#xD;
&#xD;
In addition to this huge video archive I am hosting a voice enabled chat room on http://www.paltalk.com, so if you have access to a computer with speakers and possibly a microphone (but not required) so you can engage in the dialogue verbally then I would love to meet you in 'A room for conscious rEvolution', located under the category Social Issues and Human Rights. For information on when I will be available for that please contact me personally.&#xD;
&#xD;
I can use help with editing, web design, promotions, advertising, marketing, search engine and key word optimization and event coordination (I would also like to conduct regular workshops and seminars, online and in person). I am not making any money with this (and so I could not really pay you anything except with the knowledge that what you are doing is something which has the potential of helping a lot of people) and this is not really my focus since I believe that this kind of information should be made available to everybody for free.&#xD;
&#xD;
I know that I have developed the ability to help others, and this is my purpose and sincere intention, but in order to do that I need your valued help, feedback and support.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Thank you so very much for reading my ad and it would be great if you could help me with this.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;

In love and light,&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
							&lt;div&gt;
				Hello and happy new year :=)&#xD;
&#xD;
I am looking for some people who can help me with a project I have been working on for quite some time. &#xD;
&#xD;
My name is Christoph, originally I am from Germany but have been living in the USA for more than 18 years. &#xD;
&#xD;
I became interested in the whole I idea of personal development in the mid 90's, a time during which I was going through some radical changes and challenges in my life. On January 19, 1991 I left my home in Germany, moved to Kansas, and became integrated as husband and father into a whole new culture and ethnicity.&#xD;
&#xD;
My marriage of 12 years during which 3 children were born was overshadowed by a great amount of conflict and drama, an experience which put me face to face with my own personal limitations and shortcomings, but also opened me up to a great amount of introspective learning.&#xD;
&#xD;
In 1993 I came across the whole subject of Self-development, something which was very new to me at the time. I became instantaneously fascinated by the whole idea of working on myself, especially since I was facing some very serious challenges in my own life.&#xD;
&#xD;
A few months into my studies I was lead to Stephen Coveys “The 7 Habits of highly effective people”. In it I found the concept which opened my eyes to the essence of effective personal transformation:&#xD;
&#xD;
“Between what happens to you, and your response to what happens to you lies your ultimate freedom to choose your response”.&#xD;
&#xD;
During the following decade I studied hundreds of books on tape, articles and essays on personal development, interpersonal communication, workplace efficiency, productivity, leadership and management.&#xD;
&#xD;
Among those who have inspired me to achieve personal and professional excellence are Dr. Wayne Dwyer, Deepak Chopra, Leo Buscali, John Bradshaw, Dale Carnegy, Anthony Robbins, Peter Drucker, Tom Peters, Ken Blenchard and Earl Nightingale.&#xD;
&#xD;
After my divorce became finalized I moved to San Francisco in December of 2003, and since then have dedicated myself exclusively to continue on my studies, the product of which is realize2actualize, an empowering philosophy and practice of learning, dedicated to the study of how we create our own reality: www.realize2actualize.com&#xD;
&#xD;
My intention is to develop a school for experiential and inter-active learning, create my own radio program to inspire people with food for thought and help others to look at their problems as opportunity for growth, and I also would like to work as motivational speaker, life coach and inspirational writer. &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
At this point I am hosting a voice enabled chat room on http://www.paltalk.com, so if you have access to a computer with speakers and possibly a microphone (but not required) so you can engage in the dialogue verbally then I would love to meet you in 'A room for conscious rEvolution', located under the category Social Issues and Human Rights. You can meet me there almost every day after 5 pm. &#xD;
&#xD;
For more information please also join and participate in my online forum designed specifically for people who are interested in the idea of how to create positive change from within, to provide an outlet to share ideas and learning experiences along the concept of change (or evolution), ask specific questions, read and post messages, have access to related web links, and provide you with some food for thought which can help inspire in the process of creating positive change: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/realize2actualize/&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
As an outlet to present some of my ideas and to share myself with others I started making video presentations in 2006 on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/realize2actualize), and after 865 videos of my own material I have gained a great amount of additional insight and experience. During all of this time I have developed into a very dynamic speaker who has gained the ability to inspire others in a new way of thinking, and it is pretty easy for me to make those recordings, but  I am not very good with key word and search engine optimization. Because of that only very few people are able to see those videos, and so I am looking for somebody who has knowledge on how to increase viewership of those recordings. Also when it comes to adding a good headline and description I have a difficult time, so if I are a good writer and would be willing to help that would be wonderful.&#xD;
&#xD;
Also I would be great if you could help with editing and eventually creating a professional CD and or DVD with the basic message of realize2actualize. Furthermore I could use help with marketing, promotions, advertising and web design.&#xD;
&#xD;
I would also like to form a regular study group in the bay area and beyond for people who want to learn, experience and practice how to change and improve upon various aspects of themselves. For this I could appreciate your help scheduling for and organizing such an event, so if you are an experienced event coordinator who is willing to contribute his or her expertise that would be wonderful.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
I know that I have developed the ability to help others, and this is my sincere intention, but in order to be able to do that I need your valued help, feedback and support. &#xD;
&#xD;
Thank you so much for reading my ad, and may this a very successful, enlightening and life transforming year for all of us.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
In love and light,&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
							&lt;div&gt;
				  Greetings Altarists,&#xD;
 &#xD;
You are invited to participate in Pagan Festival 2009. This year the festival theme is "Full Circle" and focuses on the fullness and eclectic nature of the many communities who intermingle and frequently come together as one. The circle is full, fruitful, and ever expanding.&#xD;
 &#xD;
We request that the design of your altar reflect the theme.  We&#xD;
encourage altars to be interactive.  If an altar is not intended to be&#xD;
interactive, we request that signs are place on or posted near your&#xD;
altar that would discourage touching.&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
The Pagan Alliance altar, Altar to the Beloved Dead and other non-directional altars including those to Deity will be on the paved&#xD;
area on the west side of the park.  Altars in these areas are&#xD;
the choice of each Altarist and do not necessarily represent the&#xD;
festival theme. Each of the concepts will be reviewed by the Festival&#xD;

      <title>Looking for Performers for a Country Fire Staff Line Dance.</title>

      <description>&lt;a href="http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/listing/Looking-for-Performers-for-a-Country-Fire-Staff-Line-Dance/san-francisco-ca/1e58b0d4-4c3b-46d6-b7a9-d3a6c21b61c0"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/a0b/88a/a0b88a60-9477-4225-aa76-3c0190aa6400.thumb" width="53" height="78" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
							&lt;div&gt;
				We need a few people who want to learn a fire staff line dance and perform it on May 22nd and 23rd.  This is for the production Burn Barrel, a fire dance concert featuring PureKT productions, and Copper Lantern Fire Theater.  More information at: tribes.tribe.net/theburnbarrel&#xD;
&#xD;
We only have three rehearsals left until the performance so there isn't a lot of commitment.  The rehearsals are on Sundays from 1-3pm in Oakland.  Fire staff experience is not totally necessary, although a plus, some sort of spinning/fire experience is required.  The staff moves are pretty basic combining that with the steps of a line dance is a little more difficult and anyone can do it, it just takes repetition.  We cannot offer pay, but you get into an awesome party with fringe benefits.&#xD;
&#xD;
If interested contact me soon, must attend this Sundays rehearsal (April 27)&#xD;

				Peace Yall,&#xD;
&#xD;
I want to share with you about a fantastic new company and movement that I'm a part of called "Humanity Unites Brilliance" or H.U.B.&#xD;
H.U.B. unites inspiring world teachers &amp;amp; leaders ( such as Dr. Rev. Michael Beckwith, from Agape International Spiritual Center, and the film "The Secret"), with humanitarian organizations, in a powerful vehicle for planetary transformation and global healing.&#xD;
&#xD;
Described as "A Global Empowerment Company that provides transformative training from the World's Greatest Teachers, and donates or invests the vast majority of profits to important humanitarian programs, while rewarding our marketing partners with generous commissions."&#xD;
&#xD;
H.U.B. provides food, clean water, education, and self-empowerment through micro-loans, tgo the people who need it most.  Already a successful project has been started for orphans and single mothers in Kenya.&#xD;
&#xD;
This is going to be a HUGE vehicle for planetary transformation,&#xD;
and in June H.U.B. will be coming out with a televised ad campaign.&#xD;
&#xD;
For more info, you can check out my personal H.U.B. website @&#xD;
http://www.babamichael.hubhub.org&#xD;
&#xD;
In Peace, Gratitude, &amp;amp; Excitement!&#xD;

							&lt;div&gt;
				At Gratitude Garden&#xD;
So Feb 9 is the day!  The garden needs its annual winter overhaul to prepare for spring planting. Whatever is still in the ground, you can take. There are a few herbs and some celery...nasturnum, etc. Were going to peel back the plastic, weed out the crap, cultivate, add some compost, and some organic fertilizer, and compost last years stuff.  We may even expand into the other parts of the yard, and do some weed whackin'. ( I know you love whackin')&#xD;
&#xD;
My policy has always been that if you help out in the garden, you can help yourself to the garden. Once the bounty comes in, I have  an open-door policy for friends to help themselves to plums, blackberries, herbs, fruit and vegetables.&#xD;
&#xD;
We have lots of tools, but bring gloves, and if you have any compost, bring it. Also, we could use some garden claw cultivators, and I will go to the berkeley tool lending library to check out what else we can borrow. I will put some juice and beer out, maybe we will get some pizza or sumpin. It will be awesome. Heavy rain cancells, sprinkles wont kill you.&#xD;
&#xD;
See you around noon, Sat Feb 9.

				Hands and Feet is a community service project of Mahasiddha Dharma (www.mahasiddhas.org), a Buddhist non-profit, thriving community, spiritual school and humanitarian organization. We hold monthly gatherings to prepare food and distribute to homeless adults and children in Berkeley.&#xD;
&#xD;
October’s Hands and Feet was a great success! We were able to feed about 45 people at People’s Park in Berkeley. We had enough food for everyone to have a full serving of food, thanks to the generosity of our volunteers and community members. With the coming cold months, we would like to increase our food supply. Hands and Feet would love your support!&#xD;
&#xD;
We could not have done it without the tremendous support of our volunteers, who each generously contributed both their time and their resources. A special thank you goes out to Nying Chenpo, Anzan, Navina, Steve, Ryan and Priya. Your kindness, generosity, service and energy are greatly appreciated.&#xD;
&#xD;
Please join us at the next Hands and Feet! Any donations of organic produce, organic whole grain bread, organic sandwich fixins, organic fruit, water, paper plates, cups and napkins would be greatly appreciated. Monetary donations to purchase necessary supplies are welcome! All proceeds will go to feeding the homeless.&#xD;
&#xD;
For questions or more information, please contact Hands and Feet Coordinator, Nandi, at nandi@mahasiddhas.org. We look forward to seeing you there!&#xD;

				Hands and Feet is a community service project of Mahasiddha Dharma, a non-profit spiritual school, humanitarian organization and thriving community of Buddhist practitioners.  We practice the unorthodox, non-dual, lively Yogic path of Tantric Buddhism, wherein&#xD;
Enlightenment is realized within all aspects of life.&#xD;
&#xD;
September Hands and Feet was a great success!  We were able to feed over 40 people at People’s Park in Berkeley. Unfortunately, we did not have enough food this month as there seemed to be an unusually large crowd in the park this month. With the coming cold months, we are preparing to increase our food supply.  Hands and Feet would love your support!&#xD;
&#xD;
We could not have done it without the tremendous support of our volunteers, who each generously contributed both their time and their resources. A special thank you goes out to Blair and Steve. Your kindness, generosity, service and energy are greatly appreciated.&#xD;
