Annual Southern California Permaculture Convergence
August 29-31, 2008
Dear Permaculture Community,
We would like to invite PDC graduates to the 1st 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, and feel that permaculture and this amazingly creative
permaculture community that exists 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. The Convergence website will be up soon
with a registration process for the event. We will share an announcement
and invitation with more details about the event to this list when registration
opens. If you are concerned that you might miss that on
the general list, you are welcome to email Kolmi Majumdar at info@quailsprings.org to join the
Convergence interest list, and that announcement will be sent to your
individual email address.
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. A discount will be offered with full payment when you
register online before July 1st.
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 (see attachment),
placed to meet their deadline, but a little early for us! Again, thanks
for your patience, and we hope you can join us at a groundbreaking event for
our region.
Sincerely from the Convergence hosting team,
Kolmi Majumdar & Warren Brush, Quail Springs Learning Oasis and
Permaculture Farm
