Sustainable Men & Women: A Year Long Program of Workshops
Dear Friends of CSL,
Re-use, Recycling and waste avoidance are the focus of a range of events planned by Green Skills and the Centre for Sustainable Living which are supporting the Transition Movement.
A major upgrade of the much loved Denmark Tip Shop in 2009 has added a new shed and transportable educational office along with a new rainwater tank and composting toilet (see attached photo of these buildings and another showing Nadine Lapthorne, Tip Shop manager). These upgrades have been made possible through the support of Lotterywest, Waste Management branch of the WA Department of Environment and Conservation, and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal.
Transition Town and Sustainability Film Nights – Jan to May
Waste Avoidance Resource Recovery and Transition Town Film & Discussion Night Series at the CSL.
Interesting and topical documentaries will be shown dealing with the challenges of moving to a low carbon economy and more resilient local community at a monthly film night and discussion evening starting on Monday 25th January.
Green Skills is partnering with Transition Town Denmark and the Climate Action Group to deliver this program.
Entry by gold coin donation.

Transforming Trash Seminar and Forum to be held In Denmark, 10 March 2010
Transforming Trash; Promoting Re-use and Recycling and the Growth of Tip Shops across Western Australia
Wed 10 March 2010
This seminar will bring together representatives of local councils, state agencies, waste management / recycling companies, community groups and the general public to learn, share and plan ways to promote greatly reduced waste to landfill. In particular the seminar will focus on “Tip Shops’ as valuable community enterprises employing people and providing much needed services to their communities.
This seminar will be held at the Denmark Centre for Sustainable Living from 10 til 4pm on Wednesday 10th March. It will be followed by a special music concert to be held at the Denmark Tip Shop from 7pm at the Denmark Tip Shop. A variety of south coast musicians will perform including ‘Odd Socks’, young fiddlers, and more.
This sustainability project is supported through funding from Lotterywest, the WA Waste Authority of the WA State Government, and through the Community Engagement project supported through South Coast NRM.

An Invitation to be part of Brave New Works #17 - ‘Our Secret River’
You are invited to join the creation of a new performance for Brave New Works #17, 2010 called ‘Our Secret River’.
‘Our Secret River’ is a performance project that explores the personal connections and disconnections between non-indigenous and indigenous people. Through movement, language and installation art we will uncover the delicate and fierce stories that make up our shared history. Together we will search for beauty, humour, regret and understanding.
Immerse yourself in this project during a weekend residency at the CSL from 1pm Saturday 16 January until 4pm Sunday 17 January. Workshops in writing, theatre and movement will create material for two performances during Easter. The residency costs $40 per person including breakfast and lunch. Please bring food to share for Saturday evening, your own bed linen and towel, pen, paper and comfortable clothes. This residency is for men and women. To register call Annette Carmichael on 0438 922 934 or email acdm@iinet.net.au.
Weekly performance workshops commence Sunday 10 Jan for men and Monday 11 Jan for women, cost $10 per week and continue until Easter. Participants must also be available for all Sundays in March. Register before 10 Jan by contacting Annette. Absolutely no prior experience required.
This project is supported by the Catalyst Fund. Community Arts Network (WA) manages this fund on behalf of the State of Western Australia through the Department of Culture and the Arts.
Expressing and Discovering Your Sensual Goddess - Pastel painting with artist Dawn Meader
This workshop is so much fun. Create a life-size Goddess drawing of yourself and learn all about the power of turquoise and coral to help you experience and express your senses. Turquoise is playful, spontaneous and enhances clear, creative communication.
Coral is sensitive, empathic, caring and wisely gentle. We use dance to warm up with essential oils, aura soma and music to create an environment in which you can paint and draw effortlessly and tune into that part of yourself that intuitively knows how to create. The life-size Goddess picture of yourself will reflect the expression of different senses within your body. Every colour relates to a different sense. For example, the heart and green are related to the sense of touch, so, when you draw your heart you will awaken it with touch.
Time: 9.00 -5.00pm Sunday January 31st Full Payment due by Friday 15 January 2010
Venue: Centre for Sustainable Living, Denmark. Fee including all materials: $130.00
Ring Nicola on 9848 3113 or 0421 633 124 and visit Dawnmeader.com OR email Nicola at nlebreton@westnet.com.au
