Speaker Bio:
Juan was born in Sonsonate, El Salvador in 1958.  After qualifying as 
an industrial electrician,he became involved in the trade union 
struggles of the 1980's.  Forced into exile by the brutal military 
regime; he spent 4 years in Mexico and then 8 years in Australia.  It 
was there that he studied Permaculture as a useful tool for the 
rebuilding of his native country following the peace accords of 1992. 
He is currently working as a coordinator for the Mesoamerican 
Convergence on Sustainable Development and Permaculture.  Also, he 
continues to teach Permaculture courses throughout Mesoamerica now 
and for the length of the year.

Warren is a certified Permaculture designer, educator, and 
storyteller. He is co-founder of Quail Springs Learning Oasis & 
Permaculture Farm, Wilderness Youth Project, Mentoring for Peace,

Permaculture education and sustainable habitat design in North 
America and in Africa.

Community Roots Garden
Help Each Other Grow!
Join us in cultivating an acre of land among an enthusiastic, great 
group of people with a dream.  This is how it has started.  The name 
of the garden is Community Roots.  Together, along with all, we can 
harvest our food and form a community in conviviality.  In helping 
oneself we help each other become auto sufficient by securing our 
food source.  Let's share our food and our knowledge of cultivation.
We invite you to visit and celebrate:  Cultivating, learning from one 
another, celebrating the harvest and thus doing so time and time 
again as a community sharing the yield.
