Westside PermieFest a Success
Greetings!
Over the past weekend we had our first Westside Permaculture Festival.  This festival
was organized totally organically.  The true power of community turned out on this
day, it was a great thing to witness.
If you missed experiencing the power of community in person, you can experience 
it on big screen this Thursday with the screening of the film, "Power of Community."
Keep on reading.

Highlights from the PermieFest
Close to 200 people came out throughout the day to show their support and celebrate
Permaculture on the final official day of summer.  Fun seemed to be had by all.
I was around the cob bench for most of the time but I experienced something magical
that day.  True community was happening.  Neighbors were talking to neighbors, people
of all ages came together, and the possibility of a different world appeared for
 us all.
The food was excellent!!  Thanks to everyone who shared their bounty on this day.
 There were some great looking tomatoes there.  Whoever grew those, good job!!
Public art and music were also on hand to show us the beauty in the world that we
can create.  Thank You guys for coming out.
Larry Santoyo was also on hand to give a spectacular presentation to a standing 
room only crowd on the basics of Permaculture as well as a "Swan Song for A Lawn."
A special thanks as well to Traci Reitz and Sustainable Santa Monica.  Traci organized
and put all of this together.  Without her nothing could've happened.  Thanks.

Film: The Power of Community
This Thursday, September 25th, there will be a screening of the film, "The Power
 of Community" at the Santa Monica Main Library in the MLK room starting a 7pm with
a potluck and discussion at 8pm.
It is a story of how Cuba survived peak oil and has been able to prosper.  Very 
relevant information for those of us who live here in the United States and are 
about to face a Peak Oil situation of our own.
Please bring food to share with your neighbors and let the community building begin.
 See you there.

are 100% volunteer driven and your donation will help ensure the continuation of
 these gatherings.  From $5 & beyond, any amount is appreciated.
