Greetings!

The Eighth Annual North West Regional Permaculture Gathering will be held 
in Eugene, Oregon, September 10-12, 2004.

We are well into planning for the Gathering. Bookmark this site and check 
back for updates. This update is being made August 20. Updated Schedule below!

Please tell help us reach more people, tell friends and others about the 
Gathering! Thanks!

Location
This year's site will be at Maitreya Eco Village, on Eugene's near west 
side. The Village is a wonderfull location for the Gathering. It is home to 
nearly 20 people, a large organic garden, various earth friendly structures 
and a host of permaculture features ongoing. The site is an evolving and 
dynamic example of permaculture redevelopment within an existing medium 
density residential neighborhood. The location is at Almaden and Broadway, 
or about 20 blocks west of downtown Eugene. The closest larger street is 
Chambers, one block to the west of Maitreya. Broadway is 4 blocks south of 
7th, which is a major east- west one way street in central Eugene. The 
Village is 4 blocks south and one block east of the busy intersection 7th 
and Chambers.


Cost
$20 to $40 per day. You may come for a half day, $10 to $20. We encourage 
those who can pay more to do so to help the Guild as we offer work trade 
and scholarships.

Food
You are invited to share your gardens and pantries. Bring the ingredients 
and we will prepare 3 meals a day starting with Friday dinner through 
Sunday lunch. Please donate a quantity and quality roughly equivalent to 
your own personal consumption. Attendees who do not bring food donations 
will be asked to contribute $3/meal.

Out of town people: Free lodging at peoples' homes or camping on site. 
Contact Rob, [541] 344 7196 to set up housing.

In town people: We will not be providing lodging to people living in town. 
However, we would like to create a sense of family and community at the 
main event site. Therefore, we encourage you to spend as much of the day as 
possible with us and to join us for all your meals.


Transportation
We are making efforts to create as car-free an event as possible. We would 
like to encourage all participants to walk, bike, or bus to the 
registration site. Participants from the outlying areas (Cottage Grove, 
Dexter, etc.) please consider carpools and/or leaving your vehicle at 
another in-town location. From further away, please car pool or take the 
train. We will pick you up at the station, call Jan if you need a train or
