There are four possible responses to real challenges: freeze, fight, flight or innovate. Innovating requires flexibility, resiliency, and tolerating ambiguity among many other skills. These skills are also deeply present in any yoga practice. This workshop is a unique weaving of the science of thinking and the wisdom of yoga. Because innovating is not just about how you THINK, it is about how you EXIST in your mind and body. It is intended to give you practical tools for embodying the key skills of innovation because how you treat and approach challenges in your body is how you approach challenges in your work. </span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">No previous yoga experience necessary.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://embodimentofinnovation.eventbrite.ca/">https://embodimentofinnovation.eventbrite.ca/</a></span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#263dd6"><b>Bike Lanes on Yonge? </b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Wed.

Many global environmental systems are already under severe stress, with human impacts on biodiversity loss, climate change, and changes to the nitrogen cycle already exceeding planetary boundaries. With wealth and innovative capacity, cities are recognized as critical factors in addressing these pressing environmental concerns. This forum will first discuss the progess of the Toronto Region in addressing climate change and other global environmental impacts, relative to other urban regions. It then turns to on-going and future developments in the region, including community plans and wider city building initiatives which offer potential for sustainable urban development.

The unity that carried Britain through the war allied to the bitter memories of the inter-war years led to a vision of a better society. The spirit of the age was to be our brother’s and our sister’s keeper. Director Ken Loach has used film from Britain’s regional and national archives, alongside sound recordings and contemporary interviews, to create a rich political and social narrative. “The achievements of the ’45 Labour government have largely been written out of our history. From near economic collapse we took leading industries into public ownership and established the Welfare State. Generosity, mutual support and co-operation were the watch words of the age. It is time to remember the determination of those who were intent on building a better world.” Ken Loach – Director. Leading off the discussion will be Toronto SA memberValerie Lamb, who grew up in England in the 1940s and 50s, and Barry Weisleder, Canada editor of SA newspaper.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Presented by Toronto Socialist Action <a href="http://www.socialistaction.ca">www.socialistaction.ca</a> or call 416 – 461-6942 or 647 – 986-1917</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#0074da"><b>Brazil's Revolt Against Austerity</b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Fundraising evening with Sean Purdy <br>Friday October 4, 5:30 pm Dinner • 7 pm Talk<br>Oak Street Co-op Community Room (</span></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 13px; ">Directions: take River Street north from Dundas or south from Gerrard St. E., walk east on Oak St. and look for stairs and a ramp on the right side, just past the convenience store.
