April 2009 - What's Happening - Earth Day, National Poetry and Jazz Month, and Dharma Farma Ken Yamaguchi-Clark
Happy April!
This month Go Green Sangha is celebrating Earth Day on April 22. The 2009 theme is the "Green Generation Campaign." To learn more about Earth Day, visit U.S. Government Earth Day - www.earthday.gov and Earth Day Network - www.earthday.net/earthday2009.
NOTE: The photos of Ken Yamaguchi-Clark were taken during his Social Permaculture-Earth Activist Training.
Go Green Sangha is also paying tribute to Ken Yamaguchi-Clark, a dynamic man of Mother Earth, who is affectionately known as "Dharma Farma." Through his Washington, DC-based company, Dharma Farma Productions, Ken shares his gifts as a writer, meditation/mindfulness/movement teacher, bodyworker, green living entrepreneur, and social permaculture consultant. Ken is also a performance artist and dancer. What a creative person!
What makes Ken a man of Mother Earth is his commitment to honor the teachings of the Dharma in everything he is called to do. Ken says,
“I do this [green living] work primarily out of service, love, and a dedication to contemporary Dharma (truth or reality) as part of my path and personal responsibility. As it is currently lead by an increasingly clear mission and my experiences in a recent vision quests. I consider it sacred and necessary.”
To learn more about Ken and his green living journey, tune into Go Green Sangha Radio on April 12th for a one-on-one interview at 7:00pm EST. Click here to listen to the show: www.talkshoe.com/tc/21325.
