To live

content with small means,

to seek elegance rather than luxury,

and refinement rather than fashion,

to be worthy, not respectable,

and wealthy, not rich,

to study hard, think quietly,

talk gently, act frankly,

to listen to stars and birds, babes and

sages, with open heart

to bear all cheerfully,

do all bravely,

await occasions,

hurry never—

in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden

and unconscious,

grow up through the common.

This is to be my symphony.

— William Ellery Channing

What is the essence of a mountain lion? Ghostwalker: Tracking a Mountain Lion’s Soul through Science and Story attempts to answer this very question. When Leslie Patten encounters their ethereal presence on the snowy landscape near her home outside Yellowstone Park— their tracks, sign, and trail camera images— she was left to ponder where they were and what they were up to. To understand an animal no one ever sees, Patten conducted over fifty interviews with biologists, conservation groups, state wildlife managers, houndsmen and professional trackers.

Leslie Patten grew up in the Los Angeles area and went to college at the University of Santa Cruz. In Northern California she raised a family while working as a horticulture and habitat specialist. Her garden designs have been featured in Mill Valley’s Outdoor Art Club Garden Tours, Marin Art & Garden Center tours, the Garden Conservancy, and many other tours. Patten is the author of several gardening eBooks, and paperbacks BioCircuits: Amazing New Tools for Energy Health, (H.J. Kramer 1990) and The Wild Excellence: Notes from Untamed America, (Wordsworth 2014).

Boosting Immunity: Wellness Preparations for Cold and Flu Season with Jim Nymeyer, Clinical Herbalist - Friday, November 16th (Pre-register by 11-14-18) 6:30 - 8:30pm — $30 (Re-scheduled from October)

Psychic Protectionwith Red Mooneagle - Saturday, November 10th (Pre-register by 11-08-18)1 - 3pm — $40You do not need to attack or counter attack to protect yourself from psychic attacks. Fear is what allows this destructive energy to get a hold and through to you. An organized mind is more capable of defense. In this class we will discuss the basics of organizing your mind and using tools to keep yourself strong and protected. You will be provided a handout, there will be visualization techniques discussed. Bring a pen, wear comfortable clothes.

There’s a lot going on in the sky this November. A retrograde is happening every day in the 30-day month, but that’s no reason to be wary of the future or halt your positive movement forward. Until November 16, Venus is retrograde. Starting November 16, Mercury is retrograde. Such celestial happenings encourage us to look within in the areas of relationships (Venus) and communication (Mercury). Of course, some events may happen TO us rather than WITHIN us, but we can circumvent that by being open to change and receptive of the lessons the universe is trying to teach. Cosmic messages are most powerful at full moons, and the new moon is a time for acting on those messages. Whatever was learned during October’s Taurus Full Moon can certainly be approached on November 7, during the Scorpio New Moon. Scorpio, where both the Sun and Moon reside on November 7, and where the Sun remains until November 22, is a fixed water sign. It is the power of

moving water, harnessed like ice. Think of it as emotion buried deep. Your job during the Scorpio New Moon is to melt a little ice off and reveal, acknowledge and accept the darkness you’ve worked hard to keep hidden. The melting will signify a death to some depths and rebirth as things surface. Scorpio’s nature is secretive, stubborn and deep. Those attributes can help us be protective of our truth, but they can also aid in avoiding it. While it may not be time to share your depths with anyone but yourself, it is time to try healing what you’ve been hiding by bringing it to your conscious awareness.

More messages will come once the Sun leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius. The Gemini Full Moon arrives November 23, bringing to focus elements of communication, including travel. However, our minds may not be focused at all -- because the messages from the moon and people, places and things here on Earth can come so fast and frequent that it has a dizzying effect. The Mercury retrograde will not help this, nor will it allow us to deal with the messages until the planet of communication (Mercury) goes direct December 7. Luckily, that’s also the day of the next new moon, when action is more favorable.

What is the essence of a mountain lion?

Ghostwalker: Tracking a Mountain Lion’s Soul through Science and Story attempts to answer this very question. When Leslie Patten encounters their ethereal presence on the snowy landscape near her home outside Yellowstone Park— their tracks, sign, and trail camera images— she was left to ponder where they were and what they were up to. To understand an animal no one ever sees, Patten conducted over fifty interviews with biologists, conservation groups, state wildlife managers, houndsmen and professional trackers. Ghostwalker gradually took shape as a tracking tale. The track in the snow became the lion itself. Just as a tracker views track

sign from every angle—from ground level, from a standing view, in different light, and by walking around the print—Patten followed the crumb trail over every substrate. Slowly, a more complete picture of the lion’s illusive nature emerged.

Ghostwalker is a book for the general public, relying heavily on compelling teaching stories told by professionals, along with the author’s personal tales. History, lore, science, are all seamlessly combined to unclothe the mysteries of America’s mostelusive, secretive predator.

Monthly Book Clubwith Melissa Smith - Saturday, November 24th, 4:30 - 5:30pm

Join us for Barjon’s monthly book club meeting. We'll announce the title for discussion on the 1st of each month, and gather in the reading room on the last Saturday of each month for a lively discussion to explore the ideas discovered between its covers.

This month's book: Belong: Find Your People, Create Community & Live a More Connected Life

How is it that the internet connects us to a world of people, yet so many of us feel more isolated than ever? That we have hundreds, even thousands of friends on social media, but not a single person to truly confide in? Radha Agrawal calls this “community confusion,” and in Belong she offers every reader a blueprint to find their people and build and nurture community, because connectedness—as more and more studies show—is our key to happiness, fulfillment, and success. A book that’s equal parts inspiring and interactive, and packed with prompts, charts, quizzes, and full-color illustrations, Belong takes readers on a two-part journey. Part one is Going IN—a gentle but intentional process of self-discovery and finding out your true energy levels and VIA (values, interests,

and abilities). Part two is Going OUT—building on all that you’ve learned about yourself to find those few special people who feed your soul, and discovering, or creating, the ever-widening groups that align with your aims and desires. As the Co-founder and CEO of the popular global morning dance community Daybreaker, Radha Agrawal developed an immense offline community with her team of Community Catalysts in 25 cities and on a dozen college campuses around the world by creating a physical space for people to connect, self-express, sweat, and dance. Now, Radha offers the life-changing strategies, tips, and tricks for making friends that will light your fire and give you the exhale of  “Ahh, I’m home.”
