A Season for Nonviolence, January 30 - April 4, 2004, is a national 64-day educational, media, and grassroots campaign dedicated to nonviolence as a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities. Associated with this campaign, there is a free conference being held at Evergreen Valley College from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, April 3rd.

Although no registration fees are required for this event, early registration is required to confirm a seat. The keynote speakers are Rev. Ellen Grace O'Brian, Dr. Greg Baer and Cheri Huber. Some of the workshops being offered are:

• Sister Mary Littell
  Peace Grows! Nurturing Cultures of Peace
  


• Ocean Robbins
  When Hope Takes A Stand

  Community Drumming for Peace
  

If ever there was a time to participate in a peace conference, now would be the time.

BAYoga Site Feed Now Available

The site feed for the BAYoga blog is now available. If you are not familiar with site syndication feeds, I found this non-technical explanation of site syndication feeds.

Regardless of whether you learn about the technical aspects of all this or not, the bottom line is that you can subscribe to the site feed for this site using one of the many available site feed readers. The reader will automatically check for new updates to the BAYoga blog and let you view them using the reader without having to periodically check the BAYoga site yourself from now on.

The BAYoga site feed is provided in the Atom format. If you are using a current version of a popular reader, it most likely can handle this format. However, some readers only support the RSS format. I am personally using the Sharp Reader for the Windows platform. It does support the Atom format and I am quite happy with it.

For future reference, there will always be a Site Feed link just below the Archives link in the upper right hand corner of this blog from now on. Once you have a site feed reader installed on your machine, you simply click on the Site Feed link and then cut/paste the site feed address from the web browser address bar into the subscription field of the site feed reader you are using. That is all there is to it.
