ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION


Wednesday feb 17, noon-1
Looking for Smart in all the right places
Premise: A light exploration of “animal intelligence” to provide a curiosity-charged and positive mental health break for all of us. Ultimately, “seeing” intelligence in the non-human world changes our relationship to them and each other, as Aldo Leopold would say, from conqueror to plain member and citizen.

discussion led by Jeri Neal

I wanted to share some information about an action being organized by our friends at the Ames Catholic Worker house:

Giving Tuesday - the corncrib still needs your help

Dear Friends,

For this Giving Tuesday, if you are looking for a way to give back to your community, consider a donation to Mustard Seed Community Farm. Your support will help us repair and renovate our corn-crib, and to continue to share good food with those in need and our work to build a more just and equitable society.
