permaculture

[Jennifer Nazak <jnazak@yahoo.com>]

Dear Permies,

Some colleagues/friends at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage are offering the 
following training, called Ecovillage Education. Dancing Rabbit is a highly 
successful ecovillage, and I would certainly think the folks there would be 
great people to take this kind of training from. See details below my 
signature line.

"When we perceive that the only difference between us is our beliefs and that 
beliefs can be created or discreated with ease, the right and wrong game will 
wind down, a co-create game will unfold, and world peace will ensue.” -- 
Harry Palmer, author of the Avatar® materials www.avatarepc.com



Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage is one of the most inspiring and active ecovillage 
projects in the United States. For the first time, they are opening their 
doors to 20 people interested in becoming sustainable culture leaders by 
offering Gaia Education's "Ecovillage Design Education" curriculum in a 
program called Ecovillage Education US -www.ecovillageeducation.us. The 
development of this program is rooted in the idea that now is the time for 
leaders to step up to the challenge of co-creating sustainable communities 
throughout the US and world.

For five weeks this summer (June 29-August 5), you can live in the ecovillage 
and participate in both classroom and hands-on practicums focused in the 
three main aspects of sustainability - economic, ecological and social, as 
well as a fourth dimension called worldview (what does sustainability mean in 
relationship to our global family?). This will include permaculture design, 
natural building, conscious communication models, successful alternative 
economic models and more.

Another unique aspect of the course is that you have the opportunity to bring 
a personal project, whether it is a sustainable community start-up, a 
Transition Town energy descent plan, a building, garden or any 
sustainability-focused project, and the instructors will work with you on the 
project so that you can take it back home and hit the ground running! These 
instructors are experts and are ready to share their time and experience with 
you.

This course is for:

    * sustainability leaders,
    * educators,
    * students,
    * community leaders,
    * intentional communities,
    * Transition towns…
…and your life!
