Subject: [permaculture] Permaculturists needed at Natural Building Colloquium-East (June 26-July 3)
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 11:07:58 -0500
There will finally be another Natural Building Colloquium in the East (NY
State). The only previous one in the East was in Maryland in 1998. There
are some snapshots from it at http://potkettleblack.com/natbild/nbce.html
While they have at least three dozen presenters lined up already (most of
them are listed
at http://www.gaiatecture.com/workshops/nbce04/nbce_presenters.html and
for links relating to some of them, see the bottom of this message) they
still have room for a couple permaculture presenters. Here are a couple
quotes from the organizer:
> The PeaceWeavers reside in Bath, New York on Thunder Mountain, a 250
acre wildlife sanctuary. Thunder Mountain encompasses a spring-fed, five
acre lake, beautiful
> deciduous and evergreen forests, apple and pear trees and an organic
farm. Through their retreats and gatherings, the PeaceWeavers inspire
individuals and families to
> embrace greater peace and wellness. For over a dozen years, this group
has been offering healing community experiences which have touched
thousands of people.
> NBCE 2004 will help fulfill their vision of becoming a model of
sustainable living using renewable energy and natural building. For more
information about this community
> please visit their website at www.peaceweavers.com
> The community has a need for Permaculture expertise to guide the
development of gardening and land caretaking around the existing buildings
and structures built
> at the colloquium.
If anyone is interested in presenting please email me (Sarah Machtey)
at mudhome@netzero.net
There will also be a Renewable Energy Expo on the Wednesday during the
colloquium, for which they still have room for more presenters, vendors,
and sponsors. If you know of anyone interested, they can email me too.
For anyone interested attending the Colloquium, or just the Expo, please
see a letter from the organizer, which I have included below for links to
more information and registration. I have, of course, left off the
attachments mentioned since this message is for a list. If you want them,
just email me.
Thanks,
Sarah
