More about Rhizome Radio...

Inspired the ecology and philosphy of multiple, horizontal, and non-hierarchical ways of knowing, Rhizome Radio serves as an open forum for discussing global social and environmental justice issues through a local lens. It is a means of connecting community members, and contextualizing local events, actions, and the people involved. We'll be looking for guests and working groups to interview so tune in! For more info, or if you want to contribute or even come on to the show, contact Tings or Brian at the.rhizome@gmail.com.

PEASoup

The PEAS collective/community kitchen project is up and running! Our next sessions are January 9 & 23, and February 13 & 27 at St. Paul's (thanks to SP for their generosity in letting us use their beautiful kitchen!). E-mail opirg.peas@gmail.com to indicate your interest and book a spot! The project will continually evolve to meet participant needs and interests. What we know for certain is that great people will be coming together to prepare a great meal (and we'll send you off with leftovers...) There is no fee, but we do ask participants to bring the ingredients, to be determined as a group with the help of our volunteer PEASoup facilitators.
