Chautauqua Art Lab Archive
Rediscovered an old Flicker site of images from the first Chautauqua Art Lab in 2009. Amongst faces in the audience I recognize current community leaders mixed old friends who've moved on to new projects some out of the Midwest all together. At the time Fort Gondo was one of the few art spaces on Cherokee Street. There was something magical and beautifully genuine about this time. Anteuphemia Flicker Stream

Jewelweed
Several summers ago I visited Camp Pleasant intentional community and organic farm in rural Kentucky. An herbalist living there taught me about Jewelweed which has rescued me from poison ivy numerous times. Jewelweed grows near poison ivy and can be identified easy by the shape of its leaves. Additionally it appears metallic when submerged in water. The stem and leaves contain a fibrous, oozy substance that can be smeared on the skin to counter the affects of poison ivy before or after contact. In my experience no over-the-counter medicine works quite as well.
Here's a video that does a good job of explaining how to identify it.

Permaculture (the word, coined by Bill Mollison, is a portmanteau of permanent agriculture and permanent culture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people — providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. Without permanent agriculture there is no possibility of a stable social order.
