  • Breitenbush 2017
    The Center for Conscious Eldering Invites you to participate in ! CHOOSING CONSCIOUS ELDERHOOD Discovering purpose, passion and the call to service in the elder third of life ! June 25 - July 1, 2017 At Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat Center near Salem and Portland, Oregon ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It is in the natural world that we can most easily remember that which is authentic and natural in ourselves, and thus gain an eagle’s eye view of our place and potential in the larger web of life. That is why, since time immemorial, at critical turning points in life, people have retreated to wilderness places to focus and intensify their inner questing and then return to their communities renewed and with new insight about how best to contribute in the next stages of their lives. That is why many individuals feeling called to prepare for and claim the role of elder have chosen to experience the Choosing Conscious !Elderhood retreats over the past fourteen years. There is a big difference between simply becoming old and aging consciously--aging with intent. This retreat, for people in or approaching their senior years (50+), provides a dynamic experiential introduction to conscious aging and the types of inner work that are important on the path toward becoming a conscious elder. Such an elderhood is a role that is consciously chosen and grown into through preparation at all levels—physical, psychological and spiritual. We invite you to join us for an inspiring week amid the great beauty of this historic hot springs retreat in Oregon’s forested

  • Breitenbush Hot Springs Is One of Oregon's Oldest Worker Owned
    Breitenbush Hot Springs is one of Oregon’s oldest worker owned cooperatives. Located 1.5 hours east of Salem, Breitenbush is nestled in a quiet valley that happens to be one of the most geothermally active areas on the west coast. Academics estimate that our piece of land has been continuously inhabited by humans for thousands of years. Breitenbush is not normal. We are both a business and an intentional community. Our 70+ staff and 35,000 guest per year draw on a deep sense of purpose and collective ownership, not conventional measures of wealth. We are looking for a bookkeeping maven who feels the same way. If you’ve ever wanted to live in the forest, in community, and have bookkeeping chops, let’s talk! Important Note on Compensation: Let’s cut to one of the most unusual parts of Breitenbush: almost everybody at Breitenbush makes the same amount of money. Currently that’s $9.75 per hour, Oregon minimum wage. That will go up to $10.25 per hour on July 1, 2017. For the sake of transparency, it should be noted that there are a couple of exceptions to this rule. For example, the three managing directors (Business Director, Marketing Director, and Finance Director) make $14.79 per hour. However, for the right candidate, our compensation package is very rich. Though it is hard to measure, many of us that live and work here relate to the total compensation package as feeling closer to $20/hour. Below is a list of benefits. Benefits: • Free housing • Free utilities (including long distance phone and high speed internet) • Employer covered health care with a healthcare reimbursement account (all premiums paid by the cooperative and very low deductibles) • Dental Care (100% premium covered by employer) • Long term disability insurance (after one year) • Very generous vacation package (Paid, Wellness, Birthday, and extended leaves) • Meals & Organic groceries at cost (including a free meal once a week and free leftovers from our commercial kitchen) • Discounted massages • Household items (Dr.

  • Transitioning to Sustainable Urban Development: a Niche-Based Approach
    TRANSITIONING TO SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT: A NICHE-BASED APPROACH BY ROBERT HARVEY BOYER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Regional Planning in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Brian Deal, Chair and Director of Research Professor Faranak Miraftab Professor Robert Olshansky Professor Ramona Oswald Assistant Professor Gale Fulton Abstract Solving the ‘wicked’ and ‘persistent’ environmental problems of the twenty-first century will require changes in the social and technological structures that guide urban development. While modern planning offers a century’s worth of solutions to environmental problems at the local scale, many of these ‘first-order’ solutions exacerbate problems at larger scales (e.g. sprawl, auto dependency, climate change). Change of the ‘second-order’ is necessary to address problems such as climate change, energy scarcity, and the destruction of finite ecosystems. The Multi-Level Perspective of Socio-Technical Systems (MLP) claims that ‘second order’ structural change is resisted by socio-technical regimes—a tangle of mutually reinforcing rules, physical structures, and social networks. While regimes are critical for day-to-day functioning in a complex world, the regime structures that guide urban development in North America have resulted in human settlements that consume life-supporting resources faster than they can replenish, and result

The updated assessment is intended to provide information and resources to assist you and your community to implement local drinking water protection efforts. Since the first source water assessments were completed in 2005, state agencies have significantly expanded analytical capabilities, including more detailed data for analyzing natural characteristics and potential pollutant sources. DEQ is currently completing the updated assessments for surface water systems and OHA is updating the groundwater system assessments. As you know, assuring safe drinking water depends on public water suppliers implementing multiple successful practices. First, protect the drinking water source. Second, practice effective water treatment. Third, conduct regular monitoring for contaminants to assure safety. Fourth, protect the distribution system piping and finished water storage from recontamination. Finally, practice competent water system operation, maintenance, and construction. These practices are collectively called “multiple barrier public health protection”. Source water protection is an important first step because starting with the best possible quality source water helps assure that water treatment can be effective at all times.

  • Breitenbush Hot Springs: a Retreat Center to Sooth the Soul
    Confetti Travel Cafe Travel, culture, connection http://www.confettitravelcafe.com Breitenbush Hot Springs: A Retreat Center to Sooth the Soul The pace really is slower at Breitenbush Hot Springs. I’m guilty of arriving from the two-hour drive from Portland a bit anxious to get on with it; to check into my lodging and take a dip in the hot springs. But while I arrive with a go-go-go attitude, it’s not long before (even I) settle into the vibe of the place and relax and slow down. Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat & Conference Center is one of my favorite places. It sits on 154 acres of forest on a rugged mountain in the Oregon Cascades’ Willamette National Forest. It’s a worker-owned cooperative that is an “intentional community” for those who live and work on the property. You can visit on a day-use or overnight basis, staying in a variety of housing. The Retreat is off-the-grid; powered by hydroelectric power from Breitenbush River and heated from the underground waters. The Retreat Center’s “alternative” reputation is well-earned—and much loved. The Hot Springs The natural beauty of the property is a perfect example of the best of the Pacific Northwest, but it’s the soothing, healing natural hot springs that most draw visitors. I enjoy each trip to Breitenbush. I love going with friends and family, and especially enjoy bringing first-timers. While most of my friends and family are happy with a wide variety of types of travel, I do have those in my life whom I simply can’t picture at Breitenbush—not because of the “hippie vibe,” but because the bathing areas are clothing optional.
