Dear Friends,

We're excited about the upcoming 2015 Building Resilient Communities
Convergence, October 8-11, at the beautiful Solar Living Institute in
Hopland, CA. (2 hours north of San Francisco).

This Convergence is a combined effort of the 10th Northern California
Permaculture Convergence, Transition Movement Initiatives, and the NorCal
Community Resilience Network. The event will bring together people from
Northern California, the West Coast, and beyond for an inspirational weekend
of intensive focus with a common goal: to design, build, and strengthen
sustainable communities and habitats, in accordance with nature, for humans,
plants, animals, the greater bioregion, and the Earth at large.

We are estimating 500+ sustainability enthusiasts, permaculture designers,
social entrepreneurs, community organizers, social justice activists, and
citizens inspired to make a difference; who will gather to share best
practices, tools, and technologies to strengthen our shared goals and
movement at large.

More Information can be found below or on our website:
