Potluck and Propaganda

Greetings Friends! Please join us for P&P #16, as we travel back in time to 1969 and the summer of love. Taking Woodstock tells the story of the people who brought the festival to its location in Bethel, New York, expecting 50,000 people and getting 400,000... Here is the trailer:



The potluck theme this month is LOVE. In the spirit of the summer of love bring anything that warms your heart or makes you remember the ones you care about. It's a good opportunity to practice your Valentine's Day recipe!

Tentative schedule for the evening:
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: Love.
09:30 - 11:30 Feature presentation: Taking Woodstock (121 minutes).

We'd love to have you over!

An excellent talk which ties together cellular biology, genetics, and the mind-body connection. If you are not familiar with Bruce Lipton's work this is a great intro.

Don't you just love TED?

Happy New Year and hope you are enjoying the holiday season! Don’t forget to keep some energy on reserve for the New Year’s mega weekend - OMG it’s going to be a memorable one for sure... I am once again delighted to invite you to join us on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, for a night of friends, food, entertainment and conversation. What better way to kick start 2010?

This month's feature film is "Jarhead". Directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) this movie is based on U.S. Marine Anthony Swofford's 2003 Gulf War memoir of the same name. Having seen very little actual combat during the war (like most of the half million troops stationed there), Swofford's story tends to focus on topics that are not often discussed in war movies. Trailer:



The potluck theme this month is winter. Bring your favorite soup, stew, pie, or alternatively something that's in compliance with your New Year resolution (whatever it is).

Tentative schedule for the evening:
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: Winter.
09:30 - 11:30 Feature presentation: Jarhead (125 minutes)

Hope to see you and launch the year in style together!

How would you behave under similar conditions?



There used to be a much better video online, focusing about the experiment itself and explaining the conditions, but looks like it was pulled for copyright reasons. Read more about the experiment here.

I decided to start posting more stuff on the blog and share items that are not necessarily new but have important and useful information. This one is a classic:

Hello again Propaganders! Here are a few updates and reminders before the gathering tomorrow:

- The event will take place at 58 Tehama, San Francisco CA.

- We are still accepting video suggestions for "open decks". Keep in mind that the intention behind the party is "Unity - no separation".

- P&P is free as always but if you stay for the party you’ll need to buy a ticket, either at the venue or online at http://entheogenicgarden.com/.

- The potluck theme is home food: share with us some of the dishes which remind you of the holiday season, "family" or "home", whatever these terms mean to you. Otherwise just bring any food or drink that you wish to share with the community.

- If you wish to spare the environment brink your own cup for drinks (BM style). Disposable cups and dishes will also be available.

- Tentative schedule for the evening:
4:00 - 5:00 Community potluck. Theme: Home Food.
5:00 - 6:00 Open Decks
6:00 - 8:00 Movie: The Beautiful Truth
8:00 - 8:20 Rusted Sodom - a film by David Cohen (aka Dog of Tears)
8:30 - 9:00 Pranic Yoga session led by Dmitry Vulfovich.
9:00 - Entheogenic Garden music lineup begins



Stay warm and see you tomorrow!

Greetings friends, and happy holidaze! Please join us for P&P #14 as we celebrate our one year anniversary! That's right, our little monthly gathering has been going on since Thanksgiving 2008 and this month we are once again having it out on location. We have been invited to kick-start the party "Entheogenic Garden" which will take place on Saturday December 12th at a SOMA warehouse in San Francisco (exact location TBA). Also celebrating birthdays with us are Jenn, Shanti and Sara. We will have the floor from 4pm to 8pm after which David (aka Dog of Tears) will present a short film titled "Rusted Sodom" that he created.



One of the intentions behind this evening is creating an environment that supports the process of healing. P&P will feature the film The Beautiful Truth which takes a look at the Gerson Therapy - a powerful treatment based on a natural diet which is shown to heal cancer and many other degenerative diseases but totally shunned by the conventional medical establishment. This inspiring movie is full of useful information about the Gerson Therapy itself and aspects of western health-care that we should always keep in mind. Trailer:



The potluck theme for this month is home food: share with us some of the dishes which remind you of the holiday season, "family" or "home", whatever these terms mean to you. Otherwise just bring any food or drink that you wish to share with the community.

Also before the main movie we will have some time for "open decks" so if you wish to share a short video on the big screen please get in touch on Facebook or potluckandpropaganda@gmail.com. It can be anything that you found entertaining, educational or inspirational.

Tentative schedule for the evening:
4:00 - 5:00 Community potluck. Theme: Home Food.

6:00 - 8:00 Movie: The Beautiful Truth
