Next Permaculture Guild of Santa Barbara Meeting:

 

Community Meeting with Local Cooperatives and Alternative Economic Models, Wednesday February 15, 7-9:00 PM, Ayni Gallery, 216 State St, Santa Barbara, co-sponsored with Santa Barbara Green Living Co-op.

Due to an expected large turnout for the event, we will meet at the Ayni Gallery, not the Watershed Resource Center, for our February meeting only, and we are extending the time of our gathering until 9PM.

There will be a panel of representatives from a variety of local cooperative ventures and alternative economic models, who will explain our models and how people in the Santa Barbara area can get involved. The panel will consist of the Santa Barbara Green Living Co-op, the IV Food Co-op, Bici Centro, the Santa Barbara Timebank, The Santa Barbara Student Housing Co-op, the Yes! Store, and a broader Community Co-op that is in the visioning stage.

The meeting will include three stages: presentation of the different models in panel forum, discussion and interaction between everyone present with ideas and projects also arising from community members, and then time for free flowing unstructured networking, conversation, and collaborative planning

This will be a dynamic event and we look forward to seeing you there!
