n September 19th, CT NOFA will celebrate its 10th Annual TASTE! Organic Connecticut festival at Manchester Community Col- lege, Great Path Road, Manchester, CT from 10 am to 4pm.
This year's TASTE will highlight local and organic food as always but with a new twist by showcasing local celebrity chefs known
for their work with local and organic food. Chef John Turenne, president of Sustainable Food Systems, and fresh from his recent TV appearance with "The Naked Chef" Jamie Oliver, will be designing this year's NOFA food-booth menu. Seen Lippert, who was a chef at Chez Panisse for 11 years, will be working with John Turenne to create a diverse menu of Connecticut-grown foods, and will also host a workshop on using the abundance of your summer garden. New Haven celebrity chef Bun Lai, owner of Miya Sushi will teach a workshop and share his insights after his restaurant was named one of the top-ten sustainable restaurants in America. There will be an opportunity to meet and greet the dynamic Severine von Tscharner Fleming, the founder of The Greenhorns, and
see a sneak-peek screening of her new documentary, "The Greenhorns" about young farmers in America, as well as an archival film compilation of rare agricultural footage. For more info go to:

Differences Between Classes on “Shamanism” and an Apprenticeship A
s we approach an age that requires a new awareness and higher consciousness to maintain our equilibrium, we are called to begin our own process of healing and transformation. We can no longer just be spectators of life, we are called to partici-
pate fully in the manifestation of vital communities and a healthy planet. Many people have returned to developing a renewed relationship with the natural world and along with this the desire to learn more about shamanic healing practices. Join a rapidly growing group of diverse individuals committed to self-development and the creation of sacred community
based on integrity and soul. Cultivate a deeper relationship with nature and unseen worlds offering multiple opportunities for deep self-transformation and healing. Learn hands on healing approaches for self, others and your community through partici- pation in The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal. Anyone can take a class as a student, yet an apprentice is someone who heeds a call to learn an art. Join us September
24, 25 & 26th for the first formal apprenticeship gathering of The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal, entitled The Call to Heal (Releasing the Past). Held at the Wisdom House in Litchfield, CT.
