Making NYC more sustainable and more resilient We can be proud of NYC’s record as one the greenest large cities in the US.  For years, we’ve been describing green practices as making our communities more sustainable.  That’s good, but a little vague – leaving us to guess about exactly which existential threat is being implied – and how much the green practice in question will help, let alone ensure our civilization is still around in 10 or 100 or 10,000 years.  Then came Hurricane Sandy. The s …

New Yorkers like choices. We love venturing outside the medical mainstream. But we've been stymied a bit. NYC's 85-plus modalities are currently weighted disproportionately towards therapeutics. Few discovery techniques based on natural biomarkers are available to practitioners and users. That's where Iridology shines. Learn what you will be able to do, empowered by familiarity with precisely what the diagnostic marks (yes, they do all have meaning) in your eyes mean. Join us if you ar …

Welcome Weed Eaters.  My name's Daniel and I'm the group facilitator. This group was started to promote a greater appreciation for wild plants.  And there's no better way to show love, devotion and trust than by sharing a meal together. This is a collaborative endeavor.  Much of what I know about plants and nearly all the edible and useful stuff, I learned directly from other people (the oral tradition) and through experimentation.  I learn by listening, reading, trying and sharing. I'm a profes …

The Children of the Sun for One People, One Earth: The Melanin Temple I searched to see if there existed any meet up groups for either:  1.

I could not find any groups meetings in NYC on any of the aforementioned subjects. This is the clarion call for a Gods and Goddess meet up to create a sacred s …
