Thanks Wes.

Yes, Carolyn's books 'A Children's Food Forest' and 'Food Forest Resource 
Sheets' are excellent. I highly recommend them. They can be purchased here:

Also, for those who haven't heard she has a new book out, with Janet 
Millington, called 'Outdoor Classrooms'. I've been told copies are finally 
available overseas, but I have not had any luck contacting the sales person 
through the website. Nevertheless, it appears to be groundbreaking. Samples 
and excerpts can be found on the site:

Carolyn Nuttall, permaculture in schools pioneer
by Russ Grayson - last modified 25-07-2007 21:38

Carolyn Nuttall based her first book, 'The Childrens Food Forest', on her 
experience with primary children in food growing projects at Brisbane's 
Seville Road State School, where she was a teacher. The book marks the start 
of the use of the permaculture design system in schools and pointed to an 
alternative direction for environmental education. More recently, Carolyn 
wrote a workbook for use in schools and has been guest speaker at conferences 
of the Australian City Farms & Community Gardens Network 
(www.communitygarden.org.au), which hosts permaculture in schools 
practitioners. That 'The Childrens Food Forest' is still in print is 
testament to its value after all these years.

Doherty in Bolinas, north of San Francisco, then two weeks in Cuba followin=
g

progress and update my on-going study of Cuba and living within our
Ecofootprint.

The July program will commence with an Advanced Design Skills course at RDI
in Bolinas, then a month at Quail Springs teaching a PDC with Kat Steele an=
d
Warren Bush followed by the advanced training in Sustainable Aid for

Duration: 1 hr presentation + Q&A/discussion.

My Eco-Neighbourhood
Robyn Francis presents an inspiring case study of her village of Nimbin in
Northern NSW Australia as an example of Permaculture working at a community
level.  The local bioregion boasts over 40 intentional communities and the
village has been at the cutting edge of social experimentation and
environmental innovation for over 30 years. Learn how she has worked with
her community as a Permaculture consultant for eco-developments and local
government, influencing state planning laws, facilitating participatory
design, and establishing a Permaculture training centre and bioregional
campus.

One-Earth Footprint=AD Learning from Cuba=B9s Experience
Discover the key factors enabling Cuba to survive collapse, live within its
ecological footprint, and how this relates to Permaculture & Transition
design.=20
Inspired by the 2007 State of the Planet Report, Robyn visited Cuba in 2008
to investigate the only society on earth living within its ecological
footprint and achieving a =8Cfirst-world=B9 standard in the UN Human 
Developmen=
t
Index for literacy, life expectancy and health. While Cuba isn=B9t the perfec=
t
model of a sustainable nation, it presents valuable lessons, inspiration an=
d
food for thought as we embrace the challenges of the transition to a low
carbon culture and learn to live within our planetary resource allocation.
Key themes explored include decentralisation and localisation, urban food
production and permaculture, simple living and the power of community.

FULL-DAY WORKSHOPS:

Eco-Social Matrix (ESM)
Strategic Framework for Transition Planning
Eco-Social Matrix (ESM) involves creative tools and processes to identify
patterns of human settlements, their relationship to water-sheds, land use,
service networks, and socio-economic demographics of a region or community.
ESM informs the process of neighbourhood to regional-scale strategic
planning and eco-cultural mapping, sustainable settlement design and
initiatives for re-localisation to build resilient, self-reliant
communities. Robyn Francis developed the Eco-Social Matrix (ESM) as an
eco-social catchment planning tool for bioregional analysis in 1989
following 12 years involvement in intentional community movement and adviso=
r
to NSW Planning. This approach formed the basis of Rural Settlement
Guidelines by the NSW State Planning Department in 1993, which received
state and national awards for Excellence in Planning for Ecologically
Sustainable Development. The workshop presents working case studies and
engages participatory processes to develop an ESM framework for your local
community or bioregion.

Cultural Ecology Inside Out:
Personal to Planetary Transition
Navigating the great transition presents new opportunities and challenges o=
n
a deeply personal as well as societal level.  We are effectively redefining
and reinventing our culture from the inside out. As unsustainable systems
collapse we have a unique opportunity to shape the new emerging culture.
This workshop explores tools and perspectives to facilitate this process
drawing from ancestral wisdoms, deep ecology, permaculture, eco-literacy an=
d
socio-cultural ecology.  Holistic change involves practical earth
stewardship and personal development, integrating simple living,
self-reliance and creative responses to build resilience into our lives and
communities. The workshop engages ritual, theatre, music, individual and
group work, council of beings and creative processes as tools for personal
and collective empowerment.
Duration: full day and early evening
