It started with a gorgeous rainbow over the Willamette River, and continued through torrential rainstorms and occasional bursts of sun. They started on the riverside, moved to a craft market on the third day, and finished by the library of Portland State University, where they engaged with the largest audience.  Several folks joined the sitting each day, including two one-day fasters.  At night they stayed at an activist art gallery called Sea Change, whose residents are planning on attending the Copenhagen Climate conference in December.  Sara and Satya are part of Touching Earth Sangha, a spiritual practice community dedicated to radical and joyful simplicity of lifestyle and compassionate engagement with the world (touchingearth.wordpress.com).  Climate Justice Fast: Interview with Satya Vayu - Day 1 from trisimon on Vimeo.     Climate Justice Fast: Sara in Portland - Day 1     Climate Justice Fast: Sara in Portland, Oregon Blogging 2009-11-17T22:37:25+00:00
