Many of us in Marin are challenged by our hills. How do we get the water to penetrate on a steep slope? How can we prevent erosion? How do we manage rocky soil? And what about the wind? Is your hill too steep to walk on?
Is a hillside part of your gardening challenges? Do you want to learn how to be successful?
Marin Master Gardener, Mary Warner will discuss:
Site analysis
Identifying challenges
Selecting plants
Micro climates
Open slopes
Soil types
Predators
CE: 1 CE unit, UC sponsored
Marin Master Gardeners programs meet each 2nd Monday of the month @ 2pm in the Library Meeting Room…

This presentation by Will Meecham, MD, will consist of:
A highly creative, informative and factual presentation about the body
An experiential exercise applying the I CAN method to a bodily concern
An opportunity to share experiences and insights and learn from others
Learn to love your body with the “I CAN” system, an innovative and highly accessible approach that combines mindfulness, compassion, and basic biology to help us move beyond the judgments, fears and resentments we often hold toward our bodies. This method arises from four roots:
Interest: Explore your body with mindfulness & basic facts about its biology.
Compassion: Understand how to forgive & accept your body.
Appreciation: Develop a sense of gratitude & admiration for your body.
Nurturing: Do your best to support your body & promote its well-being.
Severe neck problems forced Will Meecham, MD, to leave his surgical practice at age 41. As a result, two things happened: He suffered a shattering identity crisis and he began experiencing transcendent visions that changed his life. After years of meditation and study, he created MindfulBiology.org and the I CAN approach to loving the human body. He is currently co-writing a book with Larry Berkelhammer, PhD, entitled, Loving Self Care: Coming Home to Your Body.
