Tuesday Jan 23 7 PM Compassionate Listening Project in the Mid East and 
talk with the showing of her documentary film Children of Abraham, with 
Leah Green Director Mid East Citizen Diplomacy ,
Santa Barbara Public Library Faulkner Gallery Donation $5 website for MECD 
www.mideastdiplomacy.org
Cosponsored by Peacemakers www.peacemakercommunity.org, Community Mediation 
Program, Cohearts, Santa Barbara Hopedance, Santa Barbara Permaculture 
Network, Gene Knudsen Hoffman, Jim Smallwood
Supported by a grant from Fund for Santa Barbara

Compassionate Listening is a process of respectful listening developed by 
Quaker pastoral counselor Gene Knudsen Hoffman in the 1980's . The idea 
behind Compassionate Listening is to set judgment aside while listening to 
adversaries, and to look for the values and reasons behind their behavior.
The willingness to hear the other person establishes a relationship that is 
trustworthy and safe from judgment - a place where the transformative 
potential in Compassionate Listening really lies. It is the necessary step 
to establishing dialogue between conflicting parties. This message has a 
special meaning for environmentalists to use as a tool to move past 
conflict and confrontation to achieve sustainable solutions for the world 
and its environment.


" The Compassionate Listening Project is on the cutting edge of 
Jewish-Palestinian dialogue. It is healing precisely because it does not 
pretend to have the answers. Rather , it engages the participants in 
processes that have each side seeing the humanity of the other, even when 
they disagree"
Rabbi David Zaslow

The Compassionate Listening provides an opportunity to advance Jewish 
Palestinian healing and reconciliation, and to help prepare the ground for 
true peace between people.

Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and co-sponsors see the chance to bring 
the idea of reconciliation & Compassionate Listening to some of our most 
difficult community issues. An evening presentation of the work of Leah 
Green & the Mid East Citizen Diplomacy Compassionate Listening Project, 
with the showing of her documentary film Children of Abraham, will share 
the idea of reconciliation as used in one of the most tense and difficult 
political & human right situations in the world. Using this Compassionate 
Listening model, our hope is that this idea can be seen as possible here 
too, for such issues as homelessness, hate crimes, teen conflicts, and to 
ease conflict & confrontation between north & south county around land use 
and environmental issues.

The Natural Builders Network listserv
For those folks who are interested in a listserv that is primarily about
networking natural builders, please see the following:

The Natural Builders Network listserv was birthed after a half-day workshop
with Gary Duncan from smartshelter.com (on November 11, 2000). The listserv
is a way to keep the energy flowing and the communications moving regarding
creating a Network of Natural Builders in the area from San Luis Obispo to
San Diego. The idea is to create a network of engineers, builders,
architects, insurance agents, lenders, contractors, strawbale construction
folks and attorneys "to compete with the non-renewable toxic and
environmentally destructive aspects of conventional building." (Gary Duncan)
If you are interested in joining, simply send a message to
majordomo at omnipost.com and type in subscribe NBN.
thanks,
bob banner
temporary coordinator of the NBN listserv

Morning Valley Farm looking for Helping Hands
We are looking for helping hands on Morning Valley Farm and we can provide 
a special place to live and possibly more for the right people. We are 
especially looking for a multi talented type man to manage the gardens and 
help with some of the natural. building and other projects. But what ever 
your skills or interests you can probably be of help!
         Morning Valley Farm is a 21 yr. old service project dedicated to 
demonstration and education of natural life alternatives: permaculture/ 
organic gardening, natural building, nat. energy, nat. healing etc. A key 
element to the farm is the expression of love in beauty. Embellishment with 
many forms of art is intended to attract media attention as well as higher 
consciousness to the sustainability movement. Much has been accomplished on 
the 190 acre farm over the years but more help is needed!!!
You can read more about Morning Valley Farm on our web site:

Announcing the Opening of The Permaculture Credit Union
The Permaculture Credit Union is a reality. A new kind of environmentally 
responsive financial institution has been created and chartered. It is 
possibly the first credit union founded upon the Earth Care principles of 
Permaculture ethics, namely respect for natural systems, respect for 
people, and no waste ( which in banking will mean the reinvestment and 
recycling of surplus back into the community being served). Our mission is 
to pool the financial resources of people who subscribe to these ethical 
principles and provide a financial vehicle that will allow these resources 
to be put to work creating a sound sustainable, environmentally responsible 
future. We believe we have targeted a market that is severely unserved by 
existing financial institutions- those people who are committed to a 
cleaner environment, healthy food and water, sustainable energy use, and a 
more conscious lifestyle. It will create the opportunity for members to 
control the use of money in the community and contribute to the 
revitalization of local well-being.

"What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any
group is doing on the planet. We don't know what details of a truly
sustainable future are going to be like, but we need options, we need
people experimenting in all kinds of ways and permaculturists are one of
the critical gangs that are doing that."
Dr David Suzuki geneticist, broadcaster
and international environmental advocate

Permaculture education includes principles and practices of
sustainable soil, water, crop, forest, architectural, business, and
finance systems ­ ethical investment, community loan support and small
business management.

Permaculture, from PERMAnent agriCULTURE, is an integrated system of
design including not only agriculture, horticulture, architecture and
ecology but also land access strategies and economic systems for small
businesses and communities.

Taken from the Latin, permanens, to endure or persist through time and
cultura, cultures - permaculture is an interdisciplinary design
science focused on sustainable system design. Sustainable systems are
defined as those that, over their lifetime, produce energy equivalent
to or in excess of what they consume.

Permaculture operates on three ethics: care of the earth, care of the
species and return of excess to the first two.
