Hi Larry :

We are permacuturists living in Escondido looking for a new place to live/develop. We missed you at the Quail Springs convergence but met many of your students. Wonderful.

We recently set this out to the permaculture networks in southern, central and northern CA:”We met at the convergence in Quail Springs at the end of August.  I’m writing for some feedback that you may be able to help us with.  We are retired (refired) elders with thirty years experience in community development and facilitation work around the world.  We are also part of the Order of Interbeing of Thich Nhat Hanh’s tradition.
 
After spending the summer in a walkabout beginning in Findhorn, Scotland and ending at Quail Springs, we have decided that in the next year we need to learn as much as we can to share in projects and networks related to the permaculture movement. We have our sights set on the training opportunities we need in California. And we want to set up rapid train training of training opportunities for the next generation. We figure we’ve got about 10 years to help promote the going local regenerative movement...
 
Now, we would like to be able to live within walking/cycling distance of an urban or small town permaculture project in southern, central or northern California. Do you know of any developing permaculture community projects that we could link to as volunteers and participants?
 
From this gathering and experience, we will be sharing and supporting two projects in Litbu, Nayarit , Mexico and Garden County, Nebraska.  We also hope to be promoting permaculture and mindfulness practices via new media networks , networking connections, facilitating teams, and providing training scholarships as opportunities evolve.

Now after reading about this permaculture real estate option on your website we have new interest in perhaps starting our own permaculture training/learning facility. We would like to know more about this place near/in Fallbrook. Have you been a part of this development? Many other questions. Could we talk soon. We are prospects under the right conditions. Since your schedule is very tight I would ask you to call me on one of your breaks: I can be reached anytime on my cell @ 614-563-5966.

Thanks Larry. We look forward to talking with you. We wanted to talk to you before we contacted realtor.

On behalf of the seventh generation,
