Active Hope Workshop Sept 30th
Want to feel hope for the future? Join Annie Warmke and Laurel Hobden on September 30th at Blue Rock Station for a day of learning how to find that hope.
The day’s theme will be based on Joanna Masey’s book “Active Hope”. The information outlines four simple steps that can be used as a tool for feeling energized and hopeful about personal life, your business, your work, your faith or the larger community. This is not about a political party but about how to find hope, and then take action for change in your life, and perhaps even in this culture.
That hope comes from four steps: finding gratitude, identifying the pain felt by the way the earth and it’s inhabitants are suffering, and then by seeing these things with new eyes and moving forward to find solutions for personal well-being and actions.
A solar generator is great for emergency power backup, remote sites and camping. But they can cost a bloody fortune. So why not build one yourself from parts you can find at your local hardware store?
This comprehensive video will walk you through the theory as well as the practical process to build your own small solar generator. You can also obtain a detailed book with step-by-step instructions at https://solarpvtraining.com/solar-books/ if you are so inclined.
