Farley Center for Peace, Justice & Sustainability Trivia Game Day

, , , , , , ,

1/21/24

Join us at the Farley Center for a delightful afternoon of Trivia Game Day* focusing on Peace, Justice & Sustainability. Put your knowledge to the test and learn interesting facts about these important topics while having a great time!

For those who would like to contribute, we invite you to bring a charcuterie board filled with locally sourced ingredients. Let’s share the joy of sustainable, delicious food together.

As a token of our appreciation, all participants who bring a charcuterie board will receive a Farley Center t-shirt, beanie, mug and tote!

We believe in spreading awareness about Peace, Justice & Sustainability and this trivia game day is just one of the ways we can engage and educate ourselves in a fun setting on a winter day.

Mark your calendars! See you there!

*Long time Volunteer Katrina Krueger will be organizing the Game Day Trivia game. Thank you Katrina!

Natural Path Sanctuary (NPS) Winter Burial Workshop
How does the amazing NPS staff prepare for winter burials?

During the winter season, when the snow blankets the Sanctuary and the cold winds blow, how do we ensure a safe winter burial?

Come join us as we demonstrate the process during a mock winter burial by the NPS staff. We will show you how a body is shrouded*, transported to the burial site and lowered into the ground. We will talk about some of the challenges the weather poses and the measures taken to make a winter burial as smooth as possible to provide a peaceful resting place for your loved ones even during the coldest Wisconsin winters.

Please RSVP to programs@farleycenter.org

The Ants and the Grasshopper Mt. Horeb Screening

, , , , ,

October 18, 2023

SouthWest Wisconsin Area Progressives, (SWWAP) and 350 Wisconsin and the Farley Center invites you to a FREE screening of The Ants & The Grasshopper, a full-length documentary shedding light on an amazing woman’s quest to save the world.

Anita Chitaya has a gift; she can help bring abundant food from dead soil, she can make men fight for gender equality, and she can end child hunger in her village. Now, to save her home from extreme weather, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real.

Traveling from Malawi to California to the White House, she meets climate skeptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US, from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe we live on a different planet from everyone else. It will take all her skill and experience to persuade us that we’re all in this together.

This documentary, ten years in the making, weaves together the most urgent themes of our times: climate change, gender and racial inequality, the gaps between the rich and the poor, and the ideas that groups around the world have generated in order to save the planet.

WHAT: The Ants & The Grasshopper, followed by discussion and Q&A with members of the Agriculture Policy and Practices Team
WHEN: Wednesday, October 18, 2023, 7pm
WHERE: Mount Horeb Community Center, 107 N. Grove Street
