How can we generate an abundance of renewable resources for our community and world, restore vital ecosystems functions, nurture solidarity, and create community cohesion & resilience?
This 4 day camping event is a safe space for us to explore these questions, learning from the land and each other as we co-create the future we envision with our hearts and minds.
This is the 2nd year of a 4 year Permaculture Prayer: -Year 1 - Observation -Year 2 - Design -Year 3 & 4 - Implementation
By now with help from the community of Blossom Dell, Hawk's Nest & PermaJam, we've observed this 125 acre ecosystem; we've learned about the bio-diversity; we've observed the community (social permaculture); we've improved the infrastructure including the kitchen, showers, trails, camp sites, and NOW we are beginning to formulate a whole systems design for Blossom Dell which is an on-going process.
Those who attend this gathering will be invited into the creative process of envisioning this Thriving Ecosystem!
