Emergency Preparedness: Y2K and Beyond with Jimi Two Feathers. Official and unofficial reports are increasingly acknowledging the
likelihood of some disruption of worldwide oil distribution in early 2000
as a result of the Y2K computer bug. While we cannot predict the exact
effect this might have on our local power supply, it is prudent to be
prepared. Such preparation would also be useful in the event of an ice
storm or anything that might cause us to lose power during a New England
winter.
Join this informative discussion of how you can
prepare yourself and your neighborhood to weather such an emergency. We will discuss how to assess your current needs,
resources and infrastructure, both personally and with your neighbors. The
potential issues created by loss of power will be reviewed, with
particular attention to health and sanitation. You will leave with a plan
for carrying out a resource assessment.
We will also discuss specific steps to take based on your assessment, and
examine issues of psychological preparedness and community-building.
You will leave the class with a solid foundation of preparedness, and
hopefully with the beginnings of a neighborhood-wide safety net for use in
an emergency.
Y2K Anxiety with Ramsay Raymond, Director of the Dreamwheel. Are you concerned about the Y2K transition? Would you like to meet with
others to voice your feelings? Would you like to explore personal and
interpersonal strategies for coping now and later?
This evening provides a safe place to explore together our fears and
hopes, our practical and spiritual concerns about Y2K, and to find ways to
use emotions to fuel positive responses to change.
Wellness, Preventive Healthcare and Y2K with Deborah Bier, M.Ed. Possible disruptions due to Y2K might be coming our way, and autumn is a
great time to prepare for optimum health and wellbeing as preparation. Any potential problems in January demand that people be calm, centered,

help turn Y2K and other events from something stressful and
anxiety-provoking into opportunities for greater health and wellness. With
a particular focus on holistic healthcare, find out about 6 dimensions of
wellness and learn practical, hands-on things you can start today to
increase your state of wellbeing.

demand?

ways to navigate complexity. Deepen the connection to your body and self
so that you can accurately sense what is occurring and can navigate quite
naturally toward a right place for you.
