Welcome Amazing Books and Records!

In June, 2017, Amazing Books and Records will grace us at the Schwartz Living Market Building@ 1317 East Carson Street with their presence! We're so excited!

Here's a link to the recent article in City Paper's Blog: http://www.pghcitypaper.com/Blogh/archives/2017/04/20/amazing-books-to-expand-to-pittsburghs-south-side-add-writing-classes

As Amazing Books and Records settles in, we continue working behind the scenes Greening up our building at 1317 East Carson Street to lead us into our Regenerative Future. The idea is we are modeling "the more beautiful future we all know is possible." Thank You Charles Eisenstein for that phrase! :)

  We continue to document the Materials Petal of the Living Building Challenge. The Living Building Challenge. What is That? Well, the idea is this: How do you create a building that is as beautiful as a flower and functions as efficiently and effectively? There are seven petals and 20 imperatives to the challenge. Zero Net or Positive Energy, Zero Net or Positive Water, Materials, Beauty, Equity, Health and Site. Check out the International Living Futures Institute web site at ILFI.org for more details. The idea is to leave the Extraction economy of oil and gas behind and move seamlessly into our Regenerative, Restorative Future NOW! We have been a Transition Town Project, Living Building Challenge Registered Project from the get go since we began this process in 2010!

See The Transition Handbook, by Rob Hopkins to learn about powering down and be sure to check out Paul Hawken's newest book Drawdown. It turns out, there's lots more jobs to be had in the Solar, Wind and Building Renovation sectors than in the dwindling Oil and Gas Economy. So, remember to speak these truths to your family and friends, Divest from Oil and Gas, and here we go gliding into the future NOW!

Currently  at 1317 East Carson Street, we are going for Living Building Challenge Petal Recognition for the front 4600 feet of our 18,000 square foot building with its cold prep kitchen. We plan to complete an overall plan for the entire building. If you'd love to join us on the journey and have resources of any kind to donate, monetary, or otherwise, let us know! There's lots more to write about, so until next time,

Happy Springtime and we'll see you on May 28, 2017, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Open Streets PGH sponsored by BIKEPGH and others:)

Blessings, Peace, Love, Shalom & Namaste, y'all,

Elisa Beck:)

Schwartz Living Market ROCKS! November 2016 AMAZING EVENTS!:)

Lovingkindness, Peace, Healthful Living and Unity are my buzzwords for the rest of my life! This roller coaster ride is just beginning. I'm in, with my intentions set. Understanding this is going to be the wild ride of our lifetimes and getting excited about all of it. I'm praying for the enlightenment of this new administration. With that will come an immediate capping of the the stacks on the coal fired power plants, not just in Pittsburgh, but in the entire country so greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 80%.  The amazingly quick movement to not just Sustainable, but REGENERATIVE lifestyles....Erin Brockovich is already helping us remotely and who knows, perhaps she'll be visiting this region before we know it to work with us on some proposed toxic choices for this Western PA region! With that will come the removal of subsidies to the oil and gas industries and subsidies to the already existing technologies of Hydrogen, Sun, and Wind, those technologies that have been with us since the beginning of time! Modeling Healing and Wellness from the inside out is our game and the part we play in the heart of Pittsburgh's Entertainment District!!!
I pray for a smooth ride, with a few bumps and unexpected sharp turns, with lots and lots of drug- free adrenaline rushes and calm moments! So many will release so much pain and trauma and move on and into the meaning of why they were put on this planet Earth at this moment in time. How much more exciting can things get y'all?!

Peace, Love and Blessings for all of us and for Panchamama, Planet Earth and all her inhabitants:),

Functional Forum and Bernie's Headquarters too!!

Hello Schwartz Living Market Fans! This is a REAL BLOG entry! Not just an announcement about an upcoming event, but a behind the scenes Synchronicity STORY too!!! First the announcement:

Join us this coming Monday evening, April 4, 2016 and every first Monday of the Month for James Maskell's LIVE STREAMING Functional Forums.  This month's Forum is Streaming from San Francisco! The event runs from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The LIVE Streaming is from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM with Q&A following from 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Socializing, Snacking and Networking from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Registration link and more details here: http://meetup.functionalforum.com/pittsburgh-pa/

Where? Schwartz Living Market, 1317 East Carson Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15203
Free parking behind the Venue across Bingham Street for attendees! This month we'll be meeting in the space behind the GIANT BERNIE Banner!

So here's the BLOG part of this post:

A week ago Saturday, I was planning a few outings. Part of my plan was to stay away from my electronic devices including my desk top computer. But then I realized I needed to figure out the address of where I was going that afternoon. I was planning to attend a Native American Spring Equinox Ceremony and I did not have the address. So you know how it happens...I googled the event, the address, and then decided to quickly check my e-mail before leaving the house....

And there was an e-mail from a friend of mine with a note: Elisa...I think your Schwartz Living Market Venue would be perfect for this: And there it was, a forwarded Bernie Sanders for President Newsletter announcing the need for a space for the Pittsburgh Bernie Sanders Headquarters.
Requirements listed were:
1) 2,000 to 3,000 square feet
2) Open space for meetings/gatherings
3) Preferably a Bernie Supporter

Check, Check, Check...All three requirements met, so I sent an e-mail to the scout. He called me within 10 minutes. I had not yet left my home. He asked if he could see the space. I said, "Sure, ", "How about tomorrow, I asked? He said, "How about this afternoon?" And so it goes, I met him in the space two hours later. We spent an hour and a half going over details.. He videoed the space and said he'd let me know. I walked around the block to the parking lot, got into my car and began to text to my husband when all of a sudden, Alex, the scout knocked on my car window. When I opened the window, he put his thumb up and said, "It's a GO!"

Talk about fast action and synchronicity. So that's the back story of how 1317 East Carson Street become the Official Bernie Sanders for President Official Headquarters...Hey that's my synchronicity story for today! Next time I decide to blog on synchronicity, I'll talk about why and how the energy we've created in the space at 1317 East Carson Street attracted the Bernie campaign, and how our process at Schwartz Living Market has been an example of a Transition Town, Living Building Challenge, Permaculture Based Project from the start, and how that ties in with the Bernie Sanders campaign, and why it is so important to educate the masses about how wise Bernie is and why it is so important to elect him as the next President! Our process at 1317 East Carson Street has been all about transforming culture, our inner and outer ecosystems and morphing ourselves and our built environments into spaces for healthful living! Yee Hah!

Happy April, Many Blessings, and I hope to see you down on the South Side!

 Earth, by Elisa Beck :)

As our Inner Ecosystem
As the Spaceship Earth
As the Present, the Future and the Past
As the rivers flow
and the fluids flow in our bodies
and in the
bodies
of all forms
of Life
the blood
the lymph
the single cells of hemoglobin flowing
through
our arteries
and veins
through the cytoplasm, the ecoplasm, the plasma
the chlorophyll
the SUN powers all of this and all of it

The beautiful Spaceship
called Earth
with all its
majesty
colors
sights
smells
The Perception
we hold
is ours
to form
Our thoughts
CREATE
OUR REALITY
So shift your thoughts towards Positivity
Creativity
Blissful wonder
& let's
CREATE
together
through
how we act
towards
ourselves
and
towards one another
What we eat
drink
and think
the new world that is
MEANT TO BE
IS
as we
Look
Feel
&Think
that way!

Music comes naturally to producer / DJ Nice Nate; like a first language. He channels a primal source energy that is present in his eliquant compositions and intentional dj sets. He proclaims magic is a tangible thing that people are inevitably reuniting with...and offers his intricately technical yet minimalist music as a catalyst for these earth changes.

Moving to the Beat
Feel the rhyme underneath your feet
Higher Vibrations than you see on the street

Manifest your way onto the Dance floor!

And now that you know to just go with the flow
Flow on with me and see our true divinity!!!!

From Dr. Liberman:

"Seeing Holographically

Suppose for a moment that you don’t see with your physical eyes — that you have no single “point of view,” but can see clearly from all places at once. While meditating twenty-five years ago, I actually slipped into this indescribable state — and experienced a miraculous change in my vision.

Although my eyes were closed, I could “see” myself sitting there in meditation — only I couldn’t tell where I was seeing myself from. It was as if the room was filled with eyes, and I was looking through all of them.

When I finally opened my eyes, my vision had undergone a profound change — from barely being able to see the eye chart, to seeing better than normal — and it has remained so to this day. Since I was a practicing optometrist at the time this shift occurred, it forced me to reconsider everything I had ever been taught about vision.

I realized that it is our insight, and not our eyesight, that must be healed if we wish to see clearly — and that only by seeing beyond our beliefs can we truly see clearly.

~ ~ ~

When the "I" stops looking,
the eyes start seeing."

Here's the scoop on how to travel to Schwartz Living Market this coming Sunday, May 4, 2014, for the amazing, not to be missed workshop, Stop Looking, Start Seeing from 10 AM to 6 PM, with visionary Dr. Jacob Liberman, of Maui, Hawaii, and Dr. Elisa Haransky-Beck, of Pittsburgh, PA!

Saturday, March 22, 2014, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM: Tasso Spanos, C.M.P.T. on Low Back Pain Relief. Join Us!

For the first time in Pittsburgh, PA, Tasso Spanos, B.S., M.S. , C.M.P.T., certified Myofascial Trigger Point Release Therapist will present a three hour workshop on How to Relieve or Prevent Most Common Forms of Low Back Pain

Join us on Saturday, March 22, 2014 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Schwartz Living Market! 
Cost for this amazing workshop is only $30.00 in advance or $35.00/person at the door!!!

This is a myofascial trigger point course offered as an alternative to surgical intervention, drugs or aggressive therapy. There are 9 different muscles that can contribute to various locations of pain in the lower back and sciatica pain. The focus will be on traumatized spots in the muscles called trigger points, which refer to pain or weakness to other parts of the body, thereby confusing clinicians who are not aware of their existence or complexity. Participants will be taught where the trigger points are located and how to treat and stretch them. Handouts will be provided.

Tasso Spanos has 32 years of experience as a pain specialist. He earned his B.S, in Biology from Bucknell University and did his master's work at the University of North Carolina. He is a member of the American Academy of Pain Management, the American Society of Pain Educators, and the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists. He has studied with Dr. Hans Kraus, Bonnie Prudden, Dr. David Simonds, and Dr. Janet Travell, White House Physician to President Kennedy. His many presentations include the American Academy of Pain Management, Cleveland Clinic, and many groups of MD's, DD's, RB's, PT's, OT's and massage therapists.

Mr. Spanos is the founder of the Pittsburgh School of Pain Management and was the director of the Center for Pain Treatment. He created the Feeling Better exercise video, contributed to the book, Clinical Mastery in the Treatment of Myofascial Pain, and has presented frequently to the  Pittsburgh Live Today show on SBSTV-KDKA Pittsburgh. He has led his stretch class, Feeling Better, since 1982 at Chataqua Institute and at St. Stephans Church in Sewickley, PA, Osher classes at Carnegie Mellon University, and Grass Roots Festival of Music and Dance.
