COSELL embraces a range of methodologies and theoretical approaches including critical leg al studies and empirical approaches (among others). The conference has bee n held in law schools across the country\, from UCLA to Northwestern to Se ton Hall Law. \nCOSELL aims to be open to all: there is no charge to atten d\; it rotates among schools that volunteer to host and sponsor\; and pres entations can be made by not only professors\, but also practitioners and aspiring professors and scholars. \nCOSELL is where the recipients are ann ounced for two awards: the Paul Steven Miller Award to a senior scholar wh o has shown outstanding academic and public contributions to the field of labor and employment scholarship\, and the Michael J. Zimmer Award to a ri sing scholar who values workplace justice and community\, and who has made significant contributions to the field of labor and employment law schola rship. \nCOSELL is an informal organization supported by the COSELL Legacy Committee. The current committee consists of Rachel Arnow-Richman (Florid a)\, Doron Dorfman (Seton Hall)\, Catherine Fisk (UC Berkeley)\, Ann Julia no (Villanova)\, and Nicole Porter (William and Mary). \n\n\nCOSELL 2026 w ill take place on Friday\, September 18 (9:00am–6:00pm) and Saturday\, S eptember 19 (9:00am–12:30pm) at Berkeley Law in Berkeley\, CA.  \nThe C OSELL Legacy Committee LAST-MODIFIED:20260916T120342Z LOCATION:Goldberg\, Warren\, MoFo\, Donor Lobby\, Steinhart URL:https://www.law.berkeley.edu/event/21st-annual-colloquium-on-scholarsh ip-in-employment-and-labor-law-cosell/2026-09-19/?utm_source=caldiscovery& utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=berkeley-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:UC Berkeley Law X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.law.berkeley.edu/library/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Bay Area AI War Room - SF Edition - Saturday\, 10:00 AM DTSTART:20260919T170000Z DTEND:20260919T190000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T010415Z UID:event_313150516@meetup.com CATEGORIES:tech DESCRIPTION:Bay Area AI War Room\nModels\, agent\, systems\, ethics\, the law\, business\, art and impact we discuss it all.

You can even use it as a base for a modern or fantasy gown! \nW e’ll start with a Truly Victorian bodice pattern of your choosing\, and augment it with authentic 19th century dressmaking techniques to make a cu stom gown just for you. We’ll cover measurements\, pattern adjustments\, fitting\, period sewing techniques\, trimming\, boning\, hand finishing\, and much more. \nIn the first session\, you will cover a brief overview o f the styles worn in the era. You will take measurements\, trace off the c orrect pattern pieces\, and then make and fit mock-ups. \nIn the second se ssion\, you will then move on to cutting and constructing your bodice and adding boning. We’ll finish out by concentrating on closures and facings . \nPrerequisites: Students must have made at least one dress or blouse fr om a pattern and know how to use a sewing machine. \nSUPPLY LIST:THE PATTE RN: \nA Truly Victorian bodice pattern from the Victorian era (1840 – 18 90s) These patterns have been carefully chosen because they have similar p attern pieces and come from reputable companies.

Historically accurate undergarments are a well-fit ted corset\, chemise\, petticoats\, and hoop\, bum pad\, or bustle\, if yo u will be wearing one is highly recommended.  Petticoats\, hoops\, and bu stle/pad affect the fit of your bodice\, so please bring them if you will be wearing them.  It is perfectly fine not to wear historical undergarmen ts\, but you must have all the undergarments you plan to wear at the first class and every class thereafter.

Come with curiosity and a willingness to be surprised by your own magic and mystery.Teacher Bio: Qibei is a 5Rhythms® teacher\, holistic healer\ , and Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) - though boxes like t hese never quite hold her. She moves between worlds: the clinical and the mystical\, the tender and the fierce\, the silent knowing of the bones and the unspeakable beauty of Spirit cracking open. Qibei has spent her life listening\, deeply\, to what aches\, what awakens\, and what wants to come alive. Dance\, for her\, is not performance. It’s prayer\, medicine\, a nd creative laboratory. Her work invites people out of numbness and into t heir own raw aliveness: the place where everything dances\, where the wild heart remembers itself. She believes embodied presence is what makes life juicy and magical. The sacred art of coming home to ourselves\, through b reath\, movement\, and the primordial intelligence pulsing through our vei ns.  In her movement classes\, Qibei creates a trauma-sensitive\, inclusi ve place for all bodies\, inviting the dynamic emergence of real human and beyond-human interplay.

As attorneys\, how can we use the co urt system to tell their stories?\n \nJoin ALDF in Room 12 from 5:30-7 pm for a discussion with lawyers at the Animal Activist Legal Defense Projec t on representing activists who rescue animals from factory farms. This pr esentation will explore defending political activists through the lens of open rescue trials. We will focus on the ongoing case of the rescue of Pho ebe and Celia\, hearing from both an attorney and defendant in this case.\ nRSVP for dinner!

Sixty years after Title VII became law\, Black\ , Latino\, and other workers of color are dramatically overrepresented in gig\, contingent\, and sub-minimum-wage work\, and women still predominate in the forty lowest-paying occupations in the American economy. Most scho larship on the failures of antidiscrimination law focuses either on the ev olving nature of prejudice or on judicial erosion of pro-plaintiff doctrin es.

Stories\, plans\, explanations\, reactions —these patterns are so normal that we barely notice just how much we rel ate to one another through the lens of the past and the future.But when th ose habits pause\, something surprising occurs.The room changes.Attention sharpens.A different kind of connection begins to emerge.A small clearing inside awareness opens—a place where no future is rehearsing itself and no echoes from the past are allowed to enter. We can touch this space in s olo contemplative practices\, but it’s rare to enter it with others.The Present Moment Game is a simple social meditation designed to explore that possibility.For one hour\, a small group agrees to step into this clearin g and stay inside the moment. What unfolds is often unexpected—and never the same twice.We call it a game because it can be playful. But it’s al so something more: an invitation to discover what becomes possible when a group of people agree to be fully here\, now\, together.Curious to learn m ore?

Jeremy a nd Lisa will explore this vision from the depth of nondual understanding. \nIf the root of our Metacrisis is separation\, then the nondual recogniti on of non-separation is essential to responding skillfully. This is the de eper basis for any lasting systemic change that may occur. \nIf you are fe eling despair about our world\, one of the core tenets of Ecocilivation is that there is an alternative. One not of empty hope\, but of grounded pos sibility. One that welcomes our engagement\, unique gifts and contribution s. \nAbout the book: \nAs climate chaos\, inequality\, and social fragment ation intensify\, humanity faces an imminent choice: continue with a syste m built on extraction and endless growth\, or reimagine civilization itsel f.\n​\nJeremy Lent offers that reimagination: an ecocivilization\, groun ded in proven design principles of ecosystems and in humankind’s evolved inclination toward justice\, mutuality\, and dignity. \nOne of the things we love about this vision is that it is not a blueprint handed down from on high\, but rather an invitation to co-create\, making visible the visio nary work already taking place around the world. \nThe session will includ e meditation\, a presentation by Jeremy\, Q&A\, group engagement and pract ice. Jeremy will share about Ecocivilization\, and Jeremy and Lisa will bo th explore the deeper roots of the inner dimensions through nondual unders tanding\, which will invite us into a grounded expression of love that kno ws no bounds. \nIt’s truly a joy to welcome Jeremy back to this series n ot only as a brilliant thinker and writer\, but also as my life partner! W e’re looking forward to weaving the inner and outer dimensions of civili zation-level transformation for our troubled world\, informed by our deepe st love and wisdom. \nYou may enjoy watching a video or two ahead of our s ession to deepen your experience: Jeremy’s previous session in the Engag ed Nonduality series or this video of Jeremy talking about Ecocivilization . \nAbout the Engaged Nonduality Series \nThis Engaged Nonduality series\, hosted by Lisa Ferguson\, explores how nondual wisdom may respond to our world in crisis. We live in a time of multiple intersecting crises that th reaten the wellbeing of all life\, including climate breakdown\, unaligned tech and AI\, injustice\, war and authoritarianism. The recognition of no nduality has much to offer in these times\, including a deep knowing of no nseparation\, as well as access to the a wise and creative response emergi ng from our collective wholeness. \nBIOS \nJeremy Lent\, described by Guar dian journalist George Monbiot as “one of the greatest thinkers of our a ge\,” is an author and speaker whose work investigates the underlying ca uses of our civilization’s existential crisis\, and explores pathways to ward a life-affirming future. \nHe is the author of Ecocivilization: Maki ng a World That Works for All. His award-winning book\, The Patterning Ins tinct: A Cultural History of Humanity’s Search for Meaning\, examines th e way humans have made meaning from the cosmos from hunter-gatherer times to the present day. His more recent award-winning The Web of Meaning: Int egrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe offers a solid foundation for an integrative worldview that could lead hum anity to a sustainable\, flourishing future. \nLent is the founder and hos t of the Deep Transformation Network\, an online global community of over 5\,000 members exploring pathways toward a life-affirming future on a rege nerated Earth. Lent has written extensively about the vision and specifics of an ecological civilization\, and is a founding member of the Ecocivili zation Coalition\, a worldwide alliance of changemakers coming together to act as a transformation catalyst in service of this potential future. \nL isa Ferguson\, Ph.D.\, integrates awakening\, healing\, and action in her work on Engaged Nonduality: how our spiritual recognition is embodied in response to planetary crises\, injustice and suffering. Through groups\, 1:1 sessions\, and public events\, she holds space for personal and collec tive awakening and skillful action. \nLisa has worked closely with John Pr endergast as a mentee and co-leader of Engaged Nonduality offerings\, and has facilitated a meditative inquiry group for several years.\nBased on he r experience as a change agent and organizer\, she founded Climate Compas sion in 2015 to support the inner and outer work of responding to our pla netary crises with wise action and a compassionate heart. \nSliding Scale: $15 to $40\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nIf you can’t pay wit hin the sliding scale\, contact us to let us know what you can contribute. \nAddress inquiries to web@opencirclecenter.org\nREGISTER \nRecording will be emailed to participants within a week.\nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend the live session.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: World Time Buddy LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T001752Z LOCATION:Online Video Meeting (phone access also available) URL:https://opencirclecenter.org/event/engaged-nonduality-sep-27-2026-2/?u tm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=berkeley-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:Open Circle Center X-SOURCE-URL:https://opencirclecenter.org/venue/berkeley-ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Hospicing Modernity Book Discussions DTSTART:20260927T163000Z DTEND:20261025T173000Z DTSTAMP:20260917T062140Z UID:23183@uucb.org CATEGORIES:community,literary DESCRIPTION:Join Rev.

I look forward to pr acticing with you! \n  \n*Feel free to bring a water bottle and a mat wi th you and wear comfortable clothing. We have mats\, some blocks\, and yog a blankets available on site.

In fact\, vaccines are going to be available for 5 and up. Let me state clearly right now\, if you are NOT FULLY UPDATED o n your boosters\, you should NOT come out to any of these events for your own health and safety. Fully updated means 2 weeks after your latest boost er dose of vaccine. The Berkeley Board Gamers has no power to verify wheth er someone is fully updated\, so if you make the choice not to listen to t his warning\, then you are assuming that risk yourself. We may also meet i n a place with non-members\, the Berkeley Board Gamers definitely has no p ower or influence over non-members.\n\nTo be clear\, you should only consi der these game nights if you are fully updated!\n\nThe venue we are meetin g at is the charming Victory Point Café. The normal gaming fee at the caf é is $7.50. Instead of paying the normal gaming fee the café has generou sly offered to let us simply purchase any 2 items from the menu.

Through mindful movement\, standing and seated practices\, b reath\, and attention to the subtle ways we organize ourselves in space\, we'll investigate what allows us to feel both grounded and free.Rather tha n striving for perfect alignment or mastering difficult poses\, we'll appr oach the practice as an exploration. We'll slow down enough to notice\, ex periment with different possibilities\, and discover how the balance betwe en effort and ease can change our experience of movement — and of oursel ves.
