Hello!

We are so pleased to offer a weekend permaculture design course this 
fall/winter for people in the Bloomington, IN region. This course is designed 
to be affordable and manageable for those who work through the week or can't 
get away for a residential course. Please circulate this announcement widely.

Permaculture, an ethical system of design intended to integrate human and 
natural environments, blends traditional knowledges with modern approaches to 
create a life that goes beyond sustainability to regeneration and resiliency. 
This means food, shelter, fiber, fuel, community, economies and more -- all 
working in accord with the Earth and creating a life of abundance.

Permaculture is a great foundation for the transitional and regenerative work 
our generation needs to be doing. This course is designed to give us all a 
solid starting place. Peter Bane, publisher of the Permaculture Activist; 
Keith Johnson, who has been practicing permaculture for over 25 years; and 
Rhonda Baird, originator of the Bloomington Permaculture Guild team up with 
Kevin Glenn of Owl Creek Programs (www.owlcreekprograms.com) and other guests 
to offer a fun, fast-paced, and transformative course.  

We will gather Friday evenings, Saturday all day, and Sunday afternoons on 
October 16-18, Oct. 31-Nov. 1, Nov. 13-15, Feb. 19-21 and March 5-7. We would 
be happy to help those traveling from out of town find accommodations. The 
cost of the course is $750 (or $700 if paid by 9/15). This includes Saturday 
lunches and materials for the course. You may pay for the course through the 
Permaculture Activist website using Paypal (though you will need to contact 
Rhonda for registration materials). Please contact Rhonda Baird at 
812.323.1058 or rhonda.kb @ yahoo.com (no spaces) for more information.
