Ahh my little diva gypsy girl!!! Thank you for joining us at Entheon Village this year. I liked being your roomate, and yes, I am so on the "Kachina Katrina was my roomie at BM" t-shorts LOL. I think I have your camera- a small Nikon. You might have my shaman hat that Astarius gave me and the copy of Marti's book I left in the tent. We'll swap soon enough, I might be in SF in October. Love you much!! -Chiahuahua (aka Peppermint)

What a Beautiful and Phenominal Soul you have!!! You have so much energy and inspiration and your aways able to use it in much needed causes. You must have wings because I can't figure out how you can be in so many different places at once. I'm very thankful for our friendship over the years and estatic everytime I run into you at an event somewhere:) I can never thank you enough for your magical super powers of connecting amazing souls together with eachother. If it had not been for you calling my name on Burnside one night and convincing me to come to Hot Buttered Rum, I would have never met the Love of my life Holli. I can't wait to hang out with you again soon in the bay area now that were living close to eachother.
Much Love, Peace, and Light to you wherever you go and in whatever you do!!!
Your Firey Friend,
DRACO

Kachina Katrina! She's a force of nature!
She came through L.A. and things haven't been
the same since she left. I believe the wake she
leaves is an entity of its own.
A super powered creature of light, she IS the
league of super heroes. I mean, the actual
place where the justice league meets!
She speaks of greening Burning Man
and voila! A village appears. Then, OMG
the THEME to BM is greening?
No one wields such manifestation magic
so innocently and with such mastery and
perfection. I am a fan.

Great example of making a sweet gathering spot from natural building materials, this is in Portland, OR at my friend Eric S's house!! Sauna parties on Sunday nights!!
City Repair's Natural Building project set-up- COB is= sand+clay+straw. This combination hardens as strong as cement and moldable because of the clay- You can make many things from this including houses, ovens, benches, kiosks! Natural building can be fun

Peppermint Patty saw Evolutionary Center last year at Burning Man and said, this is the direction I want to go with this project going to Egypt, help me make it sustainable = right then and there we started partnering and collaborating, and you will see s
Kachina Katrina coordinates events for the Urban Alliance for Sustainability in San Francisco, CA. The next event is a cob building workshop on June 30th in SF, CA.
Katrina just attended a workshop in Evolutionary Leadership in Sustainability with Syntony Quest and happy to share those skills in with the network weavers and community leaders abound!!
Kachina Katrina's newly developed community organizers tool kit is in evaluation process right now and will be available this fall for inspired people who want to do something about the problems in this world, and don't know where to start, this kit outlines specific practices and resources to get the job done!! Empowerment Works will be using some of the tools to add to their programs and partnerships, and there are plenty of placed-based programs ripe for this community organizers toolkit, Kachina is happy to share and have this be utilized.
Kachina has a focus on localization, utilizing the resources in a community of place, and connected to the Post Carbon institute and the Livability Project. She see's this as a solution to the world's problem with oil, to connect people beck to the land and resources for healthier living with less of a carbon footprint. Her community organizers toolkit has resources for the re-localization endeavors.
Kachina da greena has become an instigator in greening events such as Burning Man and is currently the volunteer coordinator for the green team at this large-scale festival in late Aug. This is a Leave No Trace Event, and seeks not only to minimize the impact in the desert but also to understand our impact beyond its boundaries. She created a camp to amplify this effort, called the Evolutionary Center merging with Entheon Village this year for the Green Man theme.
Katrina will be working with the Biomimicry Institute this summer to amplify the Nature’s 100 Best Technologies, along with the Zeri Institute Zero Emissions Research & Initiatives (ZERI) is a global network of creative minds seeking solutions to world challenges using nature's design principles as inspiration.
Kachina will be coordinating speakers for Earth Dance International in the Bay area this fall.
She is greening the hardware industry with Plan-it Hardware, a green products distributor for the home and garden that works with local hardware stores in California and connecting the dots in-between.
She is working with James Kalin, a green developer on turning a mobile home park into an eco village in Napa Valley, Katrina is the community organizer. They are using a high gross agricultural techniques called spin farming and will be transferring these practices to the East Bay in CA to bring healthier food to the people that need it.
Kachina Katrina believes in social justice and responsibility and does organizational development with a group in Oakland called Education Not Incarceration, which is rapidly expanding and recently joined forces with the National Education Association and building affiliate chapters across CA and the nation. She volunteers with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in Oakland, CA, and supports Village Focus International, a non-profit that creates sustainable solutions for villages in third world countries and combats issues such as trafficking. Their founder is a 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Finalist.
Kachina is looking at grad schools in organizational development with a focus on sustainability, appreciative inquiry, and policy for community endeavors. She sees this as an opportunity to support the movements to create a healthier world through her skills of organization and utilizing resources to be more effective in your practice.
Katrina is a sought after magician and happy to participate in experiences where she can be of the most service spreading her positive message of love and transformation.
There's a lot happening now that we're all connecting ;)
Love the life you live and live the life you love~ share it with others. Cheers to community!!
I got into grad school for Organizational Development!! & *Updates from Kachina da greena*

...is an ecstatically magnetic vibration. As joy expresses itself from within, it fills our hearts and overflows into our friends, family, community, natural environment, and global collective consciousness through the very essence of our being it. When we are in a balanced state of joyful grace it comes through our own divine essence to influence others beyond language, time, and space.

GREENING THE BURN
Greening the Burn is a grass roots movement coming straight out of
the community and is being supported by the Burning Man Project and its organizers. We hope to raise the awareness of others throughout BRC of the need to clean and green our collective Burning Man experience in order to create a brighter future. This action has been happening for a number of years, with staff greening the office, Earth Guardians and the Playa Restoration team really making this the largest Leave No Trace (LNT) event in the world, and this last year the greening efforts have gained momentum to have a Green Working Group (GWG).
UPDATE FOR 2007: The Burning Man organization is really doing their best to become more responsible and greening this event, as much as possible for being a temporary city out in the middle of desert with a history of burning things (da man!) and blowing sh*t up. However because of a bunch of concerned citizens we have formed ways for everyone to participate in recognizing the fun and importance of the environment. Thus this year we will Celebrate the GREEN MAN!!

MESSAGE TO THEME CAMPS:
GREEN THE BURN
***********************************
The following message is from a new collective of Burning Man brains interested in sustainability. There will be more information on the varied projects coming out shortly, however this message has been prepared specifically for you:
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
-From the Greening the Burn movers and shakers:
We are here to encourage and help. We want to help Theme Camps and individuals alike, to take a few extra steps towards a cleaner and greener BRC. Everyone entering BRC for the 1st time or the 21st time should not only be aware of the Leave No Trace principles but also of the indirect trace that we leave when we don't think green while planning and participating in the Burning Man Project. As a collective of eco-conscious camps, we want to encourage you, as an organized theme camp, to give extra effort this year and consider the impact all of our actions will have before and after Burning Man 2006 and beyond.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Salvage - Take the extra effort after Burning Man to bring your extra wood and other camp building materials to re-use/salvage centers rather than burning or taking to a dump. The burn platforms are for public burning of art projects not left over wood you don't want anymore and especially not couches, carpet and PVC.
Burnerswithoutborders.org is planning to collect used building
materials and other unwanted camping supplies at the end of the
event. Look for them near 3 o'clock and the Esplanade.
Seek out recycling & salvage centers along your route home. Here are 2 links:
