Also in this issue:


Hi all,

Eugene Chapter volunteers gathered on March 20th for our first online planning session meeting. We discussed ways to keep the local Eugene area Weston Price community engaged and connected during this time of social distancing. Wonderful volunteers stepped forward to offer online demos and to show DVDs. We will continue to provide you with opportunities to learn and connect with other people in an online environment, but we would like to know what works for you RIGHT NOW. What type of events you would like to attend? When is a good time to have them?

Please help us design events that meet your needs, by taking this quick survey:

POLL: What online events would you like to attend?

And for those of you who have been waiting for the next Keto Support Group, I’d like to point out that all three of our demos are Keto-Friendly!


Protection Against Viruses Meeting in Review:

The DVD presentation was succinct and got right to the point, great.

I felt like I spent time with real people.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unlike other Zoom meetings, this one had good interactions between people with shared information.

On March 27th, the Eugene Chapter held its first online DVD showing and discussion. As planned we watched a segment of the Protection from Flu DVD. After a slow start to the conversation (as people got familiar with the format) we had a lively conversation on a variety of topics, ranging from making your own hand sanitizer to the stimulus money and EMF shielding. We were also able to share links, screenshots and even a poem. I created a post with all of the links people have shared so far:

I have also shared screenshots of the DVD Flu Protocol. So if you just want to see the bottom line recommendations from the DVD, go view the screenshots! Let us know if you have something good you want to share.


Food at our last in-person potluck. Mar 9, 2020

Monday, April 6, 2020
Begins promptly at 6:00 PM

This was originally planned as our regularly scheduled potluck. We decided to keep the day and time and have it as a “Virtual Potluck”. What is a virtual potluck? you might ask. Well, we’ll find that out together as I just made it up! As at our regular potlucks, we will check in with everyone to see what they’ve brought (or made recently). We will discuss foods and in particular how you are feeding yourself during this current situation. How do you cook from stored foods? How do you safely go to the grocery store? How do you locate locally grown nutrient-dense foods? What foods are you growing at home?

This meeting will be fully interactive! Please hook up camera and microphone if possible so that you may fully participate. Bringing food to the virtual potluck is not required, but it is highly encouraged (unfortunately there will be no sharing bites). If you don’t have a camera on your computer you can photograph something you’ve made recently and share it with us as a still photo.

Local Eugene Chapter volunteer and chef, Courtney Queen, from the recipe blog Butter For All will be demonstrating making cultured butter!

April 24: DVD – Cultured Dairy

(even the Lactose-intolerant)

Description:

Liquid milk can be hard to digest even in its most natural state: fresh from the cow, aka “raw”. Pasteurized milk is always hard on the digestive tract. Traditional peoples all over the world have cultured their milk in order to make it easier to digest and to increase its nutrient content. Culturing also pre-digests milk proteins (casein) and milk sugar (lactose), adds probiotics and increases live enzymes. Lactose intolerant? You can enjoy yogurt and kefir and sour cream again! Throw out those calcium pills and learn how to make easily digested, bio-available cultured dairy products, including yogurt, kefir, sour cream and creme fraiche. (Culturing dairy for GAPS will also be covered.)
