In December 2011, I was sitting in a three-day, 13-hours-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the hermetically sealed windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our th …

I am a local yoga teacher and I am daily enjoying the Redwoods of the Oakland Hills. I find that the best way to feel my kinship with the Earth is to practice yoga outside. The ALIVENESS that I feel during and after my practice is exponentially greater than when I practice indoors. I am finding that being outdoors is the BEST STRESS BUSTER. If you want to feel alive and deepen your realized connection with the Redwoods you will feel the Redwoods say THANK YOU for your exhale by giving you …

A group to help SF Bay Area science educators get together, and share information about other science educator gatherings. Most of us belong to other science teacher organizations (NSTA, CSTA, AAPT, NESTA, etc.), but there are so many of us in the SF Bay Area that we certainly can share and develop ideas here locally. The goal of this group is not to replace our national and state science teacher organizations, but instead to develop opportunities for us to share with each other in more low-dema …
