An all-ages event to be led by our own RE teacher Wendy, “Yoga in the Dark” is a fun, easy way to move your body under the glow of black lights.  Wear white so you glow while you flow!  Free glow bracelets will be provided, and there will be refreshments afterward.

Rising Green Fest!!

Come and celebrate in concert with Jim Scott at the UU Fellowship in Aptos. Nationally respected, he is, among other things, creator of the “Earth and Spirit” song book and has sung and played with his friends and mentors Paul Winter and Pete Seeger.

Together there will be  music, singing, refreshments and discussion. An evening to remember.

For more three decades, Jim Scott has made it his business to create and perform music that celebrates the earth.  >From his work with the Paul Winter Consort where he co-wrote the celebrated Missa Gaia – Earth Mass and many other pieces, Jim has gone on to create an extensive body of work, recording 7 albums of original music, and creating “The Earth and Spirit Songbook,” an anthology of 110 songs of earth and peace by many contemporary songwriters plus some of his own.

Years of activism are reflected in Jim’s work.  His songs, poetry and short stories address issues of ecology, justice and peace with insight and gentle wit.  For all his varied professional background, it is Jim’s lyrical songs that remain his greatest offering.   He transforms any size audience into an intimate gathering with a guitar skill and disarming presence that inspires and educates with insight and gentle wit.

From songs and choral music to soundtracks for documentaries and the PBS series Body and Soul, Jim has made music with a depth of artistry and craft that separates his art from that of many other singer songwriters.  His musical “The Tree and Me” has been given full cast productions in Jamestown NY and Albion MI.  A whole line of Jim’s choral compositions and his book of guitar technique “All Scales in All Positions” are published by Hal Leonard Corp.

Jim helped to create the “Green Sanctuary” program and accompanying handbook for building an ecological/spiritual awareness in church congregations.  He performs many benefit concerts and often appears at events, supporting environmental and peace causes with his music.

We are just south of Cabrillo College, off Soquel (near and across from the Farm Restaurant). The main landmark at the corner of Haas and Soquel is a tall white wall with big houses behind it. Turn on Hass and wind up into the hills (away from the bay) for about a half mile. You will then come to a flat area with homes. Keep going straight onto a road marked “Private Driveway.” Take that short private road. We are the very last house on the right. (Plenty of parking in front of our house, and we may open the neighbors flat area if needed. (Please do not park on the stones in front of the neighbor kitty-corner from us.)

If coming from the south on Highway 1 (Watsonville) take State Park and make a right off the off-ramp, go up a couple of blocks to the main drag which is Soquel and make a left. Go for about a mile to Haas and turn right (up into the hills). If you pass the college, you overshot it.

If coming on Highway 1 from the north (Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley), take Park Avenue and turn left at the bottom of the off-ramp. Stay in the left lane until you pass a forced right turn—then get in the right lane because you will want to make a right turn onto Soquel. We are just past the college, as soon as you pass The Farm (restaurant) on the other side of the street. Make a left onto Haas )up into the hills). If you pass the Fire Station, you overshot it.

One mile from Aptos Post Office
