2000 Whole Earth Festival booths satisfy array of interests By Roopa Raman Aggie Features Writer People will step into a whole new world of arts and crafts, food and recycling at the Whole Earth Festival this weekend. Activity directors said they are enthusiastic about the success of their projects. Experiential Space director and senior Sarah Underwood said various workshops will be conducted by UCD Experimental College instructors, students, nonprofit organizations and other locals with expertise in WEF activities. People who visit the white tent on the Quad will come out with new knowledge and ideas, according to Underwood. Spoon bending, meditation and salsa dancing classes will be offered, in addition to other educational opportunities.
People can learn how to make and play the digeridoo - an aborigine instrument.
A tantra workshop for couples based on exploration into meditation and sexuality is also scheduled. Food booth director and senior Andy Hufton said there will be about 17 booths set up in food circles on the east and west sides of the Quad offering a wide selection of ethnic and vegetarian fare. Hufton said Jacqui's Gourmet Cookies, which will sell vegan brownies, cookies and other desserts, and the Herbal Elixir vendor, selling shakes made of a blend of different herbal ingredients, are new additions to the food feast. Hufton said visitors are encouraged to bring their own silverware, plates and cups. Organic food will also be on sale.
