Meaningful Movies Ballard
*RSVP appreciated, not required
Thurs Feb 19, 6 pm - 8:45 pm at the Center for Spiritual Living Ballard
Every 3rd Thursday we will be screening a documentary related to sustainability at the Center for Spiritual Living Ballard. In February we will be showing Six Inches of Soil, the inspiring story of young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
Six Inches of Soil tells the story of remarkable farmers, communities, small businesses, chefs and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to transform how our food is produced and consumed. Agroecology is an approach to farming that includes ‘regenerative’ farming techniques that work in harmony with, rather than against nature. It focuses on local food systems and shorter supply chains. Agroecology may be our best chance in the face of climate change: it keeps carbon in the ground and creates resilient systems in the face of climate uncertainty.
A discussion follows the film. Speakers: Jenny & Brian, owners of the beloved Ballard pop-up, Tree Swallow Farm.
Intermission is sponsored by Mighty-O Donuts, Seattle's First & Only all natural donut shop.
Sustainable Ballard and Center for Spiritual Living Ballard partner with the Meaningful Movies Project to present documentaries in our neighborhood.
To stay informed about future screenings, you can subscribe to our newsletter (sent out about once every three weeks). We'd love to hear what you want to see! What topics do you want to explore? Do you have a specific movie to recommend? To provide input, or if you are interested in volunteering with Meaningful Movies Ballard, please e-mail info@sustainableballard.org
The Meaningful Movies Project is a non-profit organization that assists neighborhoods, groups and individuals organize, educate and advocate using the power of documentary film and relevant conversation to build positive and meaningful community and a more just and peaceful world.
Film screenings are always followed by some form of discussion or audience engagement, where education and opportunities for involvement or advocacy are made available. In addition, we rely on, and benefit from one another’s knowledge and experience in an environment that fosters a strong undercurrent of community building.
Events are all-volunteer organized and run. They are always open to the public at no cost, and rely on donations from attendees to remain sustainable. The events are “owned” by the community.
