Daryl Anne & Liane will show you that cleaning products for your home and for your body don’t have to be expensive or mysterious. The problems caused by toxic ingredients can be avoided. A surprising number of things can easily be made using simple, edible, safe and inexpensive substances that you probably already have at home and help the planet by reusing bottles. Daryl Anne Clausen and Liane Salgado have been making and using these for years. You’ll learn how to make cleaners for all the surfaces in your home. And solutions for cleaning your hair, skin, and mouth. We’ll also talk a little about more luxurious skin care ideas. Suggested donation: $30. Space is limited to 20 people.

In collaboration with Piedmont Biofarm and The Abundance Foundation, Chef Kabui, of Organics & Sounds, will be serving up a 4-course meal connecting sustainably grown local food, art & community. It is $50 per plate, and all proceeds go to benefit his fledgling local organization, Organics and Sounds.
