Dear Permaculturists:
Mark your calendars! A date has been set for the North American
Permaculture Convergence:August 29 - 31, 2014. The location: Harmony
Park, a beautiful 40-acre outdoor events venue in Clarks Grove, MN with
a gorgeous lake and budding permaculture site.
We are integrating your great suggestions and are already working on
creating some superb NAPC family friendly programing, which will include
the following: workshops for those with varying expertise, kid’s
permaculture activities, open panels, as well as some hands-on
activities that will leave the site better than when we arrived
(sometimes you just need to put your hands in soil). And so much more!
As a bonus, there will be additional activities before and after NAPC,
like site tours and multiple-day workshop intensives led by some of
North America's most respected permaculturists, such as Toby Hemenway
and Jude Hobbs. Plus you’ll hear from practitioners and designers from
diverse backgrounds, whether it's urban or rural, young or old, men or
women and so on. They all have so much to share! Look for more details
soon. We'll keep you posted.
Current Mission Statement:
The Northern American Permaculture Convergence will help connect and
advance North American networks of permaculture practitioners. The NAPC
will create opportunities for in-person and virtual connections, sharing
resources and help to define the structure, function, and organization
of our collective groups moving forward.
OK! Want to get involved? Tell us your interest in helping stage the
event if you have not already. We're always open to advice, concerns and
offers of assistance. We look forward
*"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to
try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,
and train all our young people to help. They want to; we need to give
them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean
energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it
from hands-on experience." - Bill Mollison*
