permaculture

[Michael Pilarski <friendsofthetrees@yahoo.com>]

Hi Deston,

I am just moseying through some of the neglected emails of late and just read 
your long rant.  

Good stuff.  Thanks,

this ibiblio list serve certainly gives a person lots to read and some 
interesting threads but it is a lot to keep up with and just a small portion 
of the permaculture movement which is a small portion of the movement for 
earth sanity.  

I was thinking to invite you to stop by my July 12-25 permaculture design 
course for a couple days and contribute a couple sessions.  Low pay, but a 
chance to work at a course.  

What are the bits of the curriculum that you feel you'd like to do?  

Guest instructors get some class time. but one of the reasons I bring them 
in, is so that students can talk to them in private and at dinner, etc.  The 
spaces in between the sessions is also important. another thing I like guest 
instructors to do is  helping design teams figure things out.  

Interested?

Michael

July 12-25. Methow Valley.
Two-week Permaculture Design Course. Skalitude Retreat Center, 
Michael Pilarski and other instructors.  The main focus is learning 
permaculture principles and design methodology. The principles and 
methodology, once learned, can be applied and adapted  to any site. Each site 
and each client are unique. No cookie-cutter solutions.  The course covers 
the traditional Mollison permaculture curriculum as well as lots of local 
knowledge. The species and techniques will be aimed at the interior Pacific 
Northwest which includes North-central Washington, Eastern Washington, 
Eastern Oregon, Idaho, Western Montana and southern Interior British 
Columbia.
