Events NEW! photos and report from Earthfair 2006 Vashon Island, Washington Friday August 4th, Saturday August 5th, and Sunday August 6th LifeSense Institute and "Project Solar Harvest" visit  Island Earthfair 2006 (Paradise Ridge Park, Vashon Island, WA) Principals of solar energy collection for peak as well as year-round retrieval will be demonstrated by LifeSense Institute at Island Earth Fair August 4th, 5th, and 6th. Project Solar Harvest received its first seed grant from Sustainable Vashon and the Earthfair demonstration is receiving other local support as well.  It will be the first exhibition on Vashon of a particular approach to solar heating that has shown success at several northern latitude installations, including Alberta, Canada; Japan; Scandinavia and other northern European sites.  They will also show a variety of other optical solar technologies.  LifeSense anticipates sponsoring a pilot community on Vashon featuring a “neighborhood grid” for residential space and water heating.  The neighborhood grid can also be used for solar-heated greenhouses supporting sustainable aquatic and terrestrial life.  LifeSense Institute, a nonprofit corporation on Vashon-Maury Island, was recently launched by Robert Bornn and Laura Worth.  Please contact Robert and Laura at 463-9283, visit us at www.buildingcircles.org, or email robert@buildingcircles.org, or laura@buildingcircles.org.   Thursday Evening, June 1st,  at Cafe Luna 6:30-9:00  Benefit for LifeSense Institute and "Project Solar Harvest" SoundMoments Duo and other guest performers will present acoustic improvisations, both lively and evocative -- for listening, participating, and dancing.  It's melody and rhythm in a unique blend of world beat and lyrical sound.  Robert Bornn and Laura Worth have recently launched LifeSense Institute, a nonprofit corporation on VMI.  Initially LSI will undertake two  projects.  The first, Vashon Energy Project's "Project Solar Harvest" received its first seed grant from Sustainable Vashon last week. Project Solar Harvest is an educational demonstration of a system for Passive Annual Solar Underground Heat Storage.  The second, BuildingCircles Project is facilitating ultra-green, affordable co-housing to promote independent living for older adults.
