[Wesley Roe and Santa Barbara Permaculture Network <lakinroe@silcom.com>]

The sixth annual!  ~ * ~  Seven full days!
Sunday, July 26 through Saturday, August 1, 2009
hosted by The PeaceWeavers :: Thunder Mountain - Bath, New York

Natural Building
  and
Sustainable Living

From natural building and permaculture techniques 
to water and energy conservation . . . from 
alternative fuels to sourcing your food locally 
. . . this event is important for everyone 
concerned about how their lifestyle impacts our 
Earth.



It's the sixth year that the PeaceWeavers have 
hosted this family-friendly event at the Thunder 
Mountain Retreat Center near Bath, New York, 
offering very full days of teaching, learning, 
building, and networking. Top experts, authors, 
educators, innovators, designers, and builders 
offer hands-on experience and educational 
presentations with "close to the earth" building 
materials and lifestyle choices.

But in the end, there's one really important 
thing that makes these events amazing. Sure, 
there's all kinds of new, fun, valuable things to 
learn - tactile, hands-in-the-mud stuff that you 
just don't get from the books or the internet. 
Sure, people can pick up tricks and tips to save 
precious days and months of misdirected time and 
effort, as well as thousands of dollars of 
misspent money, on their own projects and in 
their lives. Sure, there's the great food, the 
beautiful natural setting, the music, and so much 
more. But in the end, the most rewarding and 
inspiring thing is the rare privilege of being 
with so many talented, smart, caring, willing, 
extraordinary people... some of whom just happen 
to be world-class natural builders, sustainable 
thinkers, and do-gooders. It's the people - all 
of them - who come together at Thunder Mountain 
that are the best thing of all.

Excellent, Paul! There are many rocket stove vids on UTub including some by a 
PC list member
