Edmonton's Raga Mala Society has been bringing the best of Indian music and dance to our local stage since 1983.
Tonight, Pandit Debasish Bhattacharya and Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri are expanding the scope of Indian classical music with their hypnotic, hybrid approach featuring original and centuries-old compositions and Bhattacharya's custom-designed trinity of slide guitars.
In just a couple of weeks, The Edmonton Permaculture Guild is presenting a great big community gathering for people interested in exploring a sustainable, creative and promising future.
This year's events include workshops, a local market, food trucks, celebrations, and volunteer opportunities.
If you would like to participate, visit their website for the schedule and contact information.

This morning many, many beings are gathered to pay tribute to Darcy Belanger. Darcy was a popular member of my high school graduating class, a valued member of our local community and the beloved husband of my friend and fellow yoga teacher Amie.
Darcy was a Yogi in every sense. He was an earnest seeker of truth, a thoughtful steward of the environment, a generous and kind companion, a dedicated humanitarian, and a cheerful friend. He had a compassionate glow that knew no limits and inspired others to fulfill their personal potential. The moment I heard of his passing, I was struck by the "gap in goodness" his absence leaves.
Also to the work of Amma, the "Hugging Mother", Darcy's guru, who has been inspiring, uplifting, and comforting people around the world with her loving embrace for decades.
Darcy, Noble Soul, may your passing through the in-between be fearless. May you be as lovingly cherished in the afterlife as you are here on earth. Om Trayambakam x 108.
