Every wednesday night we gather to practice
in devotion to the beautiful place we get to live. All
proceeds from the practice are donated to local groups
working to nourish the environment. So far we have been
able to give over $8000 to the following organizations:
Matillija
Coalition Committed to the environmental restoration of the Ventura
River watershed. www.matilija-coalition.org
Ojai
Valley Land Conservancy Working to preserve open space in Ojai. www.ovlc.org

and injured birds and reduction of common hazards to wildlife. www.ojairaptorcenter.org
