permaculture

["L. Santoyo" <santoyo@earthflow.com>]

LL -you are welcome anytime, to one of our courses (as my guest -of
course!).

Our urban courses are done in a "weekend" format (urban planning and
economic development focus) -we do those, several times a year in Los
Angeles and in 010 in NYC (the spring course will be our 9th year in Los
Angeles!)

We also do a couple of two-week intensives a year all around the west (on
different farms and ranches).

happy holidays,

Larry*
