Hello Permaculture People,
We had a great City Farm Harvest Festival on October 8th. Wish you were all
there to enjoy it with the rest of us.

We are already thinking about hosting a family friendly celebrating the
Spring Equinox on March 24th. More fun on the farm to come!
Here is a quick rundown of some local events to participate in:
October 21: Seedsaver Event with the Central Coast Weavers Guild
THIS COMING SATURDAY OCTOBER 21 from 10am-12:30pm, Sally Fox will give a
talk to the Central Coast Weavers Guild and Seedsavers at the Strawbale Barn
- 9156 Santa Margarita Road. See directions below. The Weavers have made
most of the arrangements for Sally Fox’ talk so Seedsavers have offered to
bring some delectable finger food to go with coffee and tea. Be creative!
The barn is home to two 19th century looms. I’ve attached a link to a 2011
Smithsonian youtube about Sally’s cotton work. Check it out, then come hear
one of the most innovative scientist/artist/cotton breeder/seed farmer
individuals working today. Cheers, Elizabeth 805-543-5364 for info
Sally Fox
Fox Fibre/Colorganics
Sally Fox is a pioneer of organic and non-gmo cotton, and grows naturally
colored cotton - as well as heritage Merino sheep and a variety of crops -
on her farm in the Capay Valley area of Yolo County. In addition, this Cal
Poly San Luis Obispo graduate is a hand spinner and weaver of colored cotton
and a former member of Central Coast Weavers. On Saturday, October 21,
Sally will discuss her personal history of breeding cotton and her attempts
to commercially develop the naturally colored cottons, which come in
wonderful shades of brown, sienna and green. This program will be held at 10
a.m. at the Strawbale Barn, 9156 Santa Margarita Road. Sally will be selling
her fiber, yarn and cotton fabric and some wheat seeds at the event. Coffee
and tea will be served.

October 24: Global Oneness Day
We Are All One – interrelated, interconnected and interdependent. Global
Oneness Day aims to nurture and elevate our consciousness so that we more
fully live from the process of life expressing and creating, and ultimately
– to assist us in living as One.
If we are going to live as One, we must create new education systems, new
media, new forms of governance, new economic systems and so much more. The
summit will explore many of these areas, focusing on what it will take to
create a world that truly works for everyone and all life forms.
Oneness leaders include: Michael Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, Jean
Houston, Doreen Virtue, Nassim Haramein, Panache Desai, Gary Zukav, Neale
Donald Walsch, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Bruce Lipton, Terri Patten, Gregg
Braden, Lynne McTaggart and many others. See all of the speakers and

October 28: SLO Guild Hall Pumpkin Dinner – Get your tickets before October
23rd
Purchase tickets on Brown Paper Tickets. This is a benefit to purchase solar
panels for the SLO Guild Hall.
http://www.pumpkindinner.brownpapertickets.com
We are approaching our first SLO Guild Hall fundraising dinner and we need
some of your help. To save some of our funds for the dinner, we are in need
of small 6 oz. soup bowls that we can borrow for the dinner on October 28.
We will need at least 40 more soup bowls, as some of our members on the fund
raising committee have offered approximately 60+ borrowed bowls. Please let
us know if we can borrow your smaller soup bowls. They will be ready for
your pick up right after the dinner is over. We can also use your help
during the dinner to serve, clean up, etc.
Also, it would save us greatly if you have contributions of bottles of wine
for the dinner. If you have bottles of wine you can offer, please let us
know. You can email or call the SLO Guild office. The last date to purchase
tickets for the Pumpkin Harvest Dinner is October 23, and you can do so
through Brown Paper Tickets. Tickets to the dinner are not available at the
door. We would like to make this a successful venture for our hall, and we
would like to be able to plan having more fund raisers in the future to
benefit the construction of our additional room with solar panels on the
roof of that addition.
Thank you,
Shirley Hanrion, Hall Manager

offering will leave you nourished, connected, and grateful for the gifts of
nature.
Violet and Jeanette will share the autumn practices of collecting,
processing and transforming acorns into several modern and traditional
recipes, paired with other fall flavors. After breakfast, you’ll take a
short hike up to visit the traditional Chumash grinding stones, discovering
the native plants and sacred space. The beautifully prepared lunch will
again feature flavors of the season. You’ll develop a deeper relationship
with the oak trees, enjoy a wide selection of prepared wild edibles while
learning new methods for incorporating more indigenous foods into modern
dishes and your life. Please wear shoes appropriate for the short hike.

November 4: Central Coast Bioneers – Tim LaSalle to speak about Carbon
Farming at 1:30pm at SLO Guild Hall
Carbon farming a major topic at Central Coast Bioneers Conference
Cal Poly Professor Emeritus Tim LaSalle, who is the International
Agriculture Coordinator for the Open Burning Project for the International
Cryosphere Climate Initiative, will do a Q&A session on carbon farming
following the viewing of the National Bioneers Conference address by John
Wick and Calla Rose Ostrander on Carbon Farming. Tim is also, Co-Founder
and Co-Director of the Regenerative Agriculture Initiative, CSU Chico,
focused on regenerating soils and drawing down atmospheric CO2 levels.
Sequestering carbon from the atmosphere back into the soil is emerging as
among the top biological strategies to radically mitigate climate disruption
on large scales. It’s also a rapidly growing movement among farmers across
the country, including in conservative communities – because it IS
conservative
of the land and soil. John and Calla Rose are visionary
leaders of the Marin Carbon Project, a gold standard of carbon farming
research demonstrations. John is co-owner (with his wife Peggy Rathmann) of
the Nicasio Native Grass Ranch. Calla Rose, former Fellow with the Rocky
Mountain Institute, has led policy and climate action programs with Aspen,
CO and San Francisco, CA, and is a leading advocate for and expert on
agricultural carbon sequestration.
This talk (1:30pm) and Q&A session with Tim LaSalle (2:00pm) are part of the
2017 Central Coast Bioneers Conference to be held November 4, 2017, at the
SLO Guild Hall. For tickets and more information:

HOPES Village Shower Power
Hello all...we're in our sixth week of offering showers for people who have
no other access...to date, we've given 129 showers...our guests are very
grateful! We need another person who has a large truck to haul the shower
trailer one day a week to it's location on Los Osos Valley Road and help set
it up. Not difficult -- and very rewarding.

If you know anyone, would you please advise? We've got a great crew; we
offer clean towels (laundered by Paul's Cleaners for us), an array of
toiletries (the tiny travel type ones), shower shoes, clean clothing,
sleeping bags, a snack and water (soon to be a real meal!), hair cuts,
shaves, and rides into town for those without bus passes and need
transportation.
We'd also need greeters; you would sit and welcome shower guests and take
down their info for our records only; first name, age, contact info, what
they need, etc. so we can direct them to help. We have six veterans who
we're helping get into housing (if they have vouchers; otherwise, we look
for them an RV through our RVs for Veterans program.) Let us know if
you're interested, or know anyone else who may be.
Always need travel toiletries, clothing, bus passes and gift cards to local
eateries ... can be dropped off at Tim Waag's house at 1757 Frambuesa Drive,
SLO (on high side of Los Osos Valley Road.) THANKS VERY MUCH!

combined our recognized and established certificate trainings for a rare and
powerful learning opportunity.
This program includes the full Core Curriculum as well as a full PDC

This year the registration is unexpectedly low and we want to make our best
effort to get more participants since our Permaculture instructors Bill and
Becky Wilson are traveling from Illinois for the training. See below for
some additional options we are providing this year, and please spread the
word. We need to get at least 5-8 more participants to make this amazing
workshop happen.
Cal-Earth Institute and Midwest Permaculture are combining their recognized

opportunity. Having delivered over 60 PDC courses, Midwest Permaculture is
an internationally recognized provider of quality permaculture trainings.
