EcoVillagers,

A reminder about our gatherings and MicroVillage meeting in San Luis Obispo area.  On February 1 and again on February 8, we will continue our discussion of how to organize a MicroVillage group and see what EcoVillage ideas and interests we can share.

We are starting up a new series of Permaculture fundamental classes here in Los Osos on the first and second Saturdays of each month (beginning this coming weekend, February 1, 2003).

These classes will include theory and hands-on exercises in natural building and garden and landscape design. SPECIAL this spring... we'll be learning to make edible, medicinal and cosmetic products from our HomeEcosystem.

Please also note Permaculture Design Certificate Course schedule below.

Come learn and join the fun! please rsvp for directions
