Santa Barbara Permaculture Network presents:
Growing Nourishing & Just Relationships with Permaculture
Talk & Book Signing with Starhawk
Sunday, October 2, 7-9pm, 2016
Admission - $10/$5 students
Location: Santa Barbara City College Fe Bland Auditorium/BC Forum
SBCC West Campus, 800 Block Cliff Drive
Small groups of like-minded people can revitalize a town, plan our transition
to a new, locally-focused economy and technology, and change the world. They
can be exciting, nurturing, empowering places to be. And they can also
founder on the rocks of conflict and poor communication.
Patrick Whitefield called permaculture "The art of designing beneficial
relationships". In this evening talk, Starhawk (www.starhawk.org
<http://www.starhawk.org/> ) explores how permaculture principles and
ethics--along with insights from her many decades of experience in small
groups of many kinds--can help us navigate conflict, communicate more
clearly, and create empowering groups and effective organizations.
With earlier books exploring earth-based spirituality, Starhawk later merged
with permaculture, and began teaching Earth Activist Trainings in Northern
California with permaculture teacher Penny Livingston and others. In this
way she brought a valuable contribution to permaculture---which values
observation of nature before design above all things---by demonstrating how
ritual, around the cycles and rhythms of the earth, can help hone our
observation skills.
Starhawk is the author of 13 books, including, Earth Path: Grounding Your
Spirit in the Rhythms of Nature; The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for
Collaborative Groups, and her latest novel, City of Refuge. A leading voice
in the earth-based spirituality movement for many years, she is a
permaculture designer and teacher and directs Earth Activist Training,
teaching ecological design grounded in spirit and with a focus on organizing,
activism and social permaculture.
The event takes place on Sunday, October 2, 2016, 7- 9pm, at the Santa
Barbara City College Fe Bland Auditorium/BC Forum, SBCC West Campus, 800
Block Cliff Drive, 93109. Books will be available for purchase & signing by
the author. Admission $10 general/$5 students. No reservations required.

Starhawk's New Fiction Book:
"City of Refuge.The Sequel to The Fifth Sacred Thing City of Refuge" follows
the struggles, the sacrifices, and the victories of the peaceful warriors
from Califa as they endeavor to construct a haven in the parched and war-torn
South lands. Can magic, healing and love overcome the violence of a cruel and
despotic regime? http://starhawk.org
