[Sdpg] Please promote! Starhawk: Permaculture and the Sacred at The Ojai Foundation Dec 4-6

[Joan Stevens]

 Hey all - this is from fellow permie - Rachel who works and lives at the Ojai Foundation.  This workshop will be incredible.  The Ojai Foundation alone is magnificent.  Imagine all the magic you can and then double it!
You know you want more magic and permaculture in your life!  Just Do It!

"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."


- Bill Mollison

Hey WestCoast Permaculture People!!
 
We've got a great program coming up at The Ojai Foundation.  I'd love it if you could join us, but I also need help promoting this wonderful event.  
Starhawk has been a great teacher of mine for many years, and I'm thrilled to have her on our schedule here at The Ojai Foundation.  However, we need 15 registrants before Friday, Nov 20th in order to make Starhawk's travels worthwhile!  Could you please send this out to your friends or print the flier to post at your local bookstores or cafe's?
 
I'd really love to see y'all again too! And host you here at The Ojai Foundation. Go to www.ojaifoundation.org to register.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
Thank you!
 
Rachel Dawson

Permaculture (“permanent-culture”) creates a practical model of abundance and beauty for all, a vision that’s both attainable and sustainable with present technology, a practice that works with nature instead of against her.
In this workshop, Starhawk, a dedicated permaculturalist herself, takes it one step further. Join her to explore ways to listen to the land, communicate with nature spirits, heal the scars of past land-abuse, and observe the wisdom of the wild. [Lectures and hands-on projects to be created in response to site itself and its opportunities. In past, has included fungi cultivation, planting living shade structures with fruit trees, fun with cobb, “mud people,” pond construction, kitchen garden plantings, herb spirals, ritual to heal clear-cut forests, learning to see like an owl and walk like a fox — and so on.]
Starhawkis one of the most respected voices in modern earth-based spirituality. She is also well-known as a global justice activist and organizer, whose work and writings have inspired many to action. She is the author or coauthor of ten books, including The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess, long considered the essential text for the Neo-Pagan movement, and the now-classic ecotopian novel The Fifth Sacred Thing. Starhawk’s newest book is The Earth Path: Grounding Your Spirit in the Rhythms of Nature. She believes council, ceremony and nature can enrich anyone’s life, and the sooner the better.

"If there is any positive side to stark changes coming our way, it may be in the benefits of close communal relations, of having to really work intimately (and physically) with our neighbors, to be part of an enterprise that really matters and to be fully engaged in meaningful social enactments instead of being merely entertained to avoid boredom. 

Years from now, when we hear singing at all, we will hear ourselves, and we will sing with our whole hearts."
