Solstice Permaculture Design Course in San Luis Obispo, California

****************************

Presented by Cal Poly Permaculture and the Central Coast Permaculture 
Guild, begins June 21 with a summer solstice celebration Sunday night
and finishes with an Independence Day Celebration on July 4. Come enjoy 
the transformation of the fourth largest agricultural university into a 
full-scale Permaculture training center. 

It takes place on the Cal Poly Campus with tent camping and seasonal
village living at the certified organic Permaculture Center and Student 
Experimental Farm. Coordinated by Akiva Werbalowsky, Julian Kayne, and 
Senior Instructor Larry Santoyo, additional presenters will include a 
"who's who" of the West Coast's most progressive leaders in Permaculture 
and Ecological Design. Participants will receive professional 
certification from Cal Poly Permaculture and continuing education units 
(CEUs) upon completion of the course. 

Come experience the spectacular new certified-organic Permaculture site, 
green and abundant after vitalization by El Nino rains. Sit in the 
shaded cool of the "Bioresource Amphitheater" at summer solstice, hear 
the drums around the fire in the "Native Seed Festival Circle", relax 
and smell the "Herbal Healing Garden", taste heirloom organic fruits and 
veggies moments after harvest. 

Tuition is $895 for the two weeks and includes local organic
meals, instruction, course materials, camping space, and more. There is 
also limited spaces for local residents and community to benefit from 
all instruction without having the cost of camping and meals for $565. 
One day Course Passes are available for $100 and include three meals and 
one night camping. 

We encourage tax-deductible donations and scholarship sponsorship, 
especially from bioregionally progressive individuals and businesses, 
for those who would otherwise be unable to participate. Contact Akiva if 
you are willing to help support these efforts. 

Partial work-exchange opportunity is still available in limited areas of
