Join depth psychologist, wilderness guide, and Animas Valley Institute founder Bill Plotkin to explore a map of psychological wholeness rooted in nature's own map of wholeness. Learn how we are each a unique expression of the universal forces and patterns of nature. Wild Mind re-visions what it means to be fully human; to passionately embody our multifaceted psyches, commit ourselves to the largest, soul-infused-story we're capable of living, contribute to cultural renaissance, and serve the greater Earth community.  Visit him online at http://www.animas.org or http://www.wildmindbook.com.

    West Marin Players presents for it’s third production, Gilbert & Sullivan’s swashbuckling comedy The Pirates of Penzance. Wacky, irreverent, and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879. The Pirates Of Penzance is the story of an orphan boy who was mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate instead of a pilot. A hilarious farce featuring sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dewy-eyed daughters, and an eccentric Major General, and peppered with unforgettable melodies and tonguetwisting songs, Pirates is one of the most popular operettas ever written.
