permaculture

["John Kaufmann" <jlkaufmann@tenforward.com>]

Hello, new to this site and VERY excited to find a format that embraces my
life passion!  Very sad to confirm my suspicion that Bear Creek is gone...
.
I am, by the way of intro, learning all I can about my land and myself. i
live in the beautiful Pacific North Wet, on our 18 acre stead on the
Olympic Peninsula, Washington State in the rainy shadow of the mountains.
Not to take you all's time with self blatherings and I know recently
answered questions, but how does one become certified as a Permaculturist
or perm landscape designer?  Also, how does one deal with  the old time
money machinery dillema of modern lifesteading? (if I only had the time,
money etc. I would....).  Also wishing to form COMMUNITY here through a
non-profit barter organization and NEED help in where to start.
More to say than fingers can... In this with you, John Kaufmann Port Of
the Angels, WA.  PS maybe in the wake of Bear Creek will spring new
hope...
