Janice MacDonald is here to talk about Mendocino Sparkling and Oysters festival on California Wine Country with Harry Duke sitting in for Steve Jaxon, and of course with Dan Berger. Janice is the Festival and Events coordinator for Visit Mendocino. Janice seems to enjoy what must be a pleasant and easy task, promoting and describing Mendocino County to people. In Mendocino there are cool climate wines growing in the Anderson Valley and the warmer climate wines in the eastern area of the 101 corridor. Mendocino is a slightly less travelled place, so there are not great crowds, but it is worth a visit because the views are beautiful and the wines are phenomenal. Dan Berger started judging in the Mendocino wine competition in 1983. He has personally tasted the progress of Mendocino winemakers. Many years ago, their quality was “hit and miss” but today it is all first class. Their Cabernets have been great for the last five years and so have the Pinot Noirs, for the last ten years. The Mendocino Sparkling Wine and Oysters Festival The Mendocino Sparkling Wine and Oysters Festival is Saturday, January 27. Destination Hopland is hosting the event in the caves at Saracina Winery. There will be about 18 wineries pouring sparkling wines, and some others pouring still whites. There will also be generous servings of Hog Island oysters and delicious tastings from Left Coast Seafood which will also pair perfectly. Tickets are available on EventBrite, at this link. Here is the Mendocino Winegrowers web page about the event. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. The climate and soils in Mendocino are ideal for sparkling wine so this event will show them all off. The caves were founded by John Fetzer, son of Barney Fetzer who founded Fetzer Vineyards. In the studio they taste a Nelson Family Vineyards Brut Sparkling Wine, made from Chardonnay and carrying the North Coast appellation. Dan says it is beautiful with distinctive Chardonnay aromatics. Five years ago there were two or three top quality sparkling wine producers in Mendocino, but now there are more like twenty. It has really taken off. The Crab Cake Cookoff is a benefit for the Mendocino Coast Clinics, and that is next weekend. Each winery is paired with a local chef and the guests will elect a people's choice favorite. There is a live auction, too. February 3, from 11am-3pm, in Ft. Bragg. Visit the website visitmendocino.com for all information about what's going on in Mendocino County.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 103 What the F is Social-Emotional Learning? It's a serious question. Behind all the flowery language is a history, and that history demands looking at. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and its chief lobbying organization, CASEL (the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) emerged in the mid-1990s from a place called the Fetzer Institute. What is the Fetzer Institute, though? Created by a twentieth century radio magnate named John Fetzer, the Institute was devoted to Fetzer's devoted pursuit of New Age Spiritualism and occultism. The inspiration for much of his theosophical belief resided in the curious character of Alice A. Bailey, who wrote two dozen books on occultism and theosophy, including Education in the New Age, between 1922 and her death in 1949. Did these occult ideas influence the development of Social-Emotional Learning? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay digs into this question in unsettling detail, raising more questions than he can answer. Join him, and by the end of this episode, you too will be asking what the f--k is Social-Emotional Learning?!

For this episode of Sip Sip Hooray! we are in Hopland in California's Mendocino County at the beautiful, picturesque winery, Saracina Vineyards. Tucked into the rolling hills, the mantra at this wine ranch is biodiversity and sustainability. Since its founding by John Fetzer and Patty Rock in 2001, Saracina has been on the leading edge of a holistic approach to grape growing and winemaking. Vineyards share the landscape with majestic 140 year old olive trees, baby goats and alpacas, honey bees, orchards and chicken. Saracina may be best known for wine, but the ranch also produces honey and olive oil. Now owned by Taub Family Selections, Saracina is committed to raising the bar through its dedication to diversity in every aspect. Winemaker Alex MacGregor is one of those legendary Mendocino characters and you'll love getting to know him. So grab a glass and enjoy our conversation.

Here in West Michigan the name Fetzer is well known. The Kalamazoo area businessman owned a broadcast complex of WKZO-AM/FM/TV. Little did the community know that this nominal Presbyterian was engaged in a spiritual search that was much more inclusive and, well, cosmic, than his peers. Very few were allowed to observe this side of him. But he left a profound legacy in both the Fetzer Institute & Foundation. One organization focuses on interfaith engagement, the other on deep spirituality that often crosses the boundaries of most organized religions. In these 2018 episodes we speak with Brian Wilson (no, not that Brian Wilson, but if you know the other, tell him he's welcome on our show too!) who authored the book "John E Fetzer & the Quest for the New Age." Enjoy

John Fetzer was well-known and respected as a radio pioneer, television and cable mogul and owner of the Detroit Tigers. Only a few, however, knew how deeply involved he was with spiritual matters. For more than 60 years, he sought ways to open the doors of higher consciousness. He studied the teachings of the East and the West, including Theosophy, Freemasonry, UFOology, parapsychology and Buddhism. He believed in the concept of unity or oneness, that we are all connected and part of a universal whole with direct access to the Divine. He funded high level research to confirm the ability to connect with infinite intelligence for the good of the individual and the world. Fetzer even attributed his great success to making business decisions with the help of spiritual techniques, including meditation, pendulums, psychics, and dowsing. Please join us Thursday to hear more about Fetzer's passionate pursuit for more “freedom of spirit.”

We discussed some information in regards to ECHO and public safety aviation pilots and how we want to continue offering support and industry specific information to them.

Brian C. Wilson, author of the new book, John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age, is a professor of American religious history in the Department of Comparative Religion at Western Michigan University (WMU).  It was during his years in the Peace Corps that he developed a fascination with religion, initially fueled by what he experienced of the ancient religion of the Maya, and of Roman Catholicism. Returning to the U.S., Wilson completed a Ph.D. in Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he studied religion in the United States. In 1993, he co-authored a book on new religious movements in California.After moving to WMU, Wilson wrote an award-winning book on cereal inventor and the leading Seventh-day Adventist of his time, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Based on the success of that book, the Fetzer Institute invited Wilson to write a full-length spiritual biography of its founder, John E. Fetzer. The Kalamazoo-based Fetzer was a radio pioneer, media mogul, and long-time owner of the Detroit Tigers baseball team. Of his many pursuits, however, there is one that is not well known: his life-long spiritual search, which led him from traditional Christianity to an exploration of a variety of metaphysical religions culminating in the New Age. In many ways, the story of John Fetzer's long spiritual search mirrors that of millions of Americans who sought new ways of thinking and being in the evolving metaphysical religions of the 20th century.In John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age, Wilson not only explores the evolution of Fetzer's beliefs, but how he put them into action by permanently endowing three funds that will foster research into the scientific/spiritual interface for years to come, and help cultivate a more peaceful, loving and inclusive world founded on the principle that we are all connected through one infinite force.

Professor Brian Wilson says John E. Fetzer was a fascinating man who kept himself mentally alert and young by constantly exploring anything new and is why Brian wrote about him in the book ‘Quest for the New Age’. But that’s not the only reason. As professor of American religious history in the Department of Comparative Religion at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Brian explored John Fetzer’s as he had two extremely contrasting sides to his life. A media mogul and the owner of the Detroit Tigers baseball team for almost thirty years beginning in 1956, when he died John Fetzer was one of the wealthiest people in the US. But the other side Professor Wilson says, is the most interesting aspect one that was not well known – John’s life-long spiritual search that led him from traditional forms of Christianity to an exploration of a variety of metaphysical religions culminating in the New Age a term that was just beginning to emerge. The result of Brian’s search was Fetzer ultimately used his wealth to found the Kalamazoo-based Fetzer Institute which funds programs exploring the power of love and forgiveness to help build the spiritual foundation for a loving world. The other, Fetzer Memorial Trust, which remains, committed to Fetzer’s vision of a new spiritual science by funding cutting-edge research into the frontiers of physics, biology, and consciousness.  This remarkable man followed these 3 principles and suggested that everyone adopt them as they move toward midlife and 50 looms large.  ‘Step Out of Your Mind,’ Keep Connected to Other People & Be Sure to Have Close Friends to Connect & Converse With doing these three things Will Keep You Young, Alive & Mentally Alert”.
