For permies in the NorthEast - you might be interested in checking out this
event. Nathan & Shelli from Woodstock Museum spent time here in Nimbin,
Australia, filming Woodstock's counter-cultural sister village. The films
they're presenting at this upcoming film festival will include intentional
communities, many of which incorporate permaculture practices and footage of

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Woodstock, NY

Café Downunder

Artists and filmmakers, Shelli Lipton and Nathan Koenig
will present an afternoon of film, discussion, fashions
and hands-on materials from Woodstock's
counter-cultural sister village Nimbin, Australia 3-6
p.m. Saturday, July 19, at the Colony Café, 22 Rock
City Rd., Woodstock, NY.

The program will feature highlights of their recent
visit as ambassadors to Nimbin, where the couple filmed
the 11th annual Mardi Grass held in the first week in
May as a hemp rally (cannabis for medical use is now
legal in Australia) and the 30th anniversary of the
Aquarius Festival, celebrating their beginnings as a
counter-cultural community.

What began in 1973 as a student activist movement and
social experiment is now a society of over 200
intentional communities sharing Utopian values of
permaculture, sustainable energy systems, drug reform,
Rudolph Steiner schooling techniques and decision
making through mediation and consensus.
