>permaculture design workshop Aug. 6-15, 1999, in Camptonville, Northern 
>California.  Deadline for applications is July 14.

>refine their design, 
>delivering a report to the residents the following Saturday.  Instruction 
>during the week is 
>confined to topics needed to produce this specific design. The design will 
>integrate human 
>activity with the contour, soil, solar energy, and water flows of the site to 
>provide water, 
>food, shelter, energy, and other patterns supportive of the residents.  
>Creating a joyous and 
>enjoyable setting is central to the design goals. Sunday afternoon, Dan will 
>conclude the 
>workshop with a clinic to discuss permaculture-related problems that 
>participants bring 
>from their own situations. Participants can register for the full workshop or
