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!!!

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.
