Hello Everyone-

Just a reminder of the July 1st deadline for early registration (and discount) for the Southern California Permaculture Convergence.

The Southern California Permaculture Convergence website is now ready for direct registration on-line.  A discount is offered to those paying in full on-line by July 1, 2008.  This Convergence does require a PDC (72 hour Permaculture Design Course) to attend. 

Please read below for all the information and details, and respond immediately (on-line to So Calif Convergence website only) if you have interest as space is limited.

1^st Annual Southern California Permaculture Convergence
August 29-31, 2008

Dear Permaculture Community,

We would like to invite PDC graduates to the 1^st Annual Southern California Permaculture Convergence, August 29-31, 2008, hosted by the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and Quail Springs Learning Oasis and Permaculture Farm.

We hope to kick-start this effort of a Regional Convergence, allowing others to take over in the future. As organizers for this first convergence we hope to move past any barriers caused by lack of time, available sites, or even teacher territories that might exist, and instead just recognize the work and accomplishments of all, and proceed from there with the important work around connecting individuals and communities in the region.  We feel a certain urgency in these times, but feel permaculture and our amazingly creative permaculuture community in Southern California is up to the task!

We have been working hard to accomplish organizing this event with little time, so we ask for your patience.  Please visit the Convergence website for more information and registration. http://socalifornia.permacultureconvergence.org/

A discount is offered with full payment when you register online before July 1st.   Please note that the Convergence will be limited to 50, because of site restrictions, and you must have a Permaculture Design Course certificate (72 hour Curriculum certificate) to attend.

If you have any images you would like to share (with captions) of  your permaculture site or projects, we would love to highlight those by having them be a part of the Southern California Convergence website.  Please forward images to our webmaster, John Calvert jc@virtualtribes.net . 

An ad is in the current issue of the Permaculture Activist.  We hope you can join us at a groundbreaking event for our region.
