Feb. 21 - Next Steps to Reparations

This is a great opportunity to learn about the history and progress of this important issue.

Jan. 31 - Protecting Ourselves from Cancer and Other Diseases

There are many simple things we can do everyday to keep our bodies functioning optimally, and this week's presenter will enlighten us with some of these. She will also pay particular attention to cancer prevention using natural products.
Please come and join other community members to discuss and share ideas on this important topic. As usual, meeting time is 3 pm and meetings last 1 to 2 hours.

Income Tax Prep 101

Tax time will be here before we know it, so this sharing session could be very interesting for some of us ... as usual, please call and register your attendance - we have limited capacity at the store!!

Jan. 17 - ADHD - a GIFT!

The movie "The Matrix" brilliantly illustrated how we could exist (and often do exist) in a world that has been "created" by others. In this week's sharing session, Bro. Rodney Ware will help us experience the added dimension to reality when we embrace ADHD as a GIFT rather than a defect as our modern society (arrogantly) labels some of us!
As usual, please call ahead to reserve a space if you plan to attend.

Knowledge Sharing

Welcome to the Mutana weekly Small Group Knowledge Sharing Dialog blog. This project is one of many initiatives we have recently embarked on at Mutana, and the primary goal here is to get us back to living the African proverb - It Takes a Village to Raise a Child.
In these modern times, our skills, interests and demographics bring us together to form communities or "villages". It is our belief that every single one of us is blessed with individual and unique gifts of knowledge and abilities. By (freely) sharing these gifts with one another, we are taking some of the basic steps necessary to making our "villages" whole and harmonious. Our dialog sessions at Mutana represent the initial efforts many of us are making now, because we recognize the need and the urgency to achieve this goal.
It is our hope that this initiative will quickly inspire others to get involved so that we may experience a proliferation of such gatherings. It is only when we each begin to live our life's vocations that we shall truly experience the "Village" that is whole enough to "raise" its children.
My name is Matti Foncha, founder of Mutana Marketplace and HealthCafe, and it is an honor for me to join with others on this journey of community building and self-determination.
Below I have listed some of the recent and future topics of our dialogs, and I encourage anyone wishing to (freely) share gifts of knowledge with others to call Mutana and book a date. Our sharing sessions are weekly on Saturdays from 3 to 4 pm at Mutana.
If you have attended one of these sessions or should you have comments, please feel free to make a short posting.
Thank you in advance for keeping in mind that we shall have our children reading these postings from time to time and the language we use should be appropriate.
Much love to all.
Matti
