Permaculture Convergence Summit at Merritt Community College
Sun, July 8th, 2007
Registration Opens 8am
Program from 9am-8pm
Breakfast and Dinner are provided, lunch is potluck

A little bit of thoughtful observation of our ecology, economy, and culture will show that big changes are upon us.  However you choose to look at it, we're on the edge of something big.  What better way to address these times than to get together with some of the most forward thinking minds in the bay area to not only discuss but decide what the future looks like? 

We've all pursued Permaculture as a means of bringing hope and providing a solutions oriented perspective to the situations we face.  Come and find out how others are optimizing their niche in this dynamic society.  Share your projects, inspirations and evolution of permaculture philosophy as it applies to your life.   We can see this time of convergence as an opportunity on the brink of transformation to ease the flow of human and natural systems integration.  The future is in our hands, let's get together and shape it! 

We'll spend Saturday immersed in the products our most abundant resource - PEOPLE POWER, as we bike to several sites demonstrating how urban permies put their small and slow solutions into a backyard and community scale.  Sunday, we will gather at Merritt, nestled in the Oakland hills where we will co-envision and create the many mutual benefits emerging from this very literal edge of human and natural ecology.  Don't miss out on this great opportunity to connect the nodes of sustainability branching throughout the bay area and beyond!

Please pre-register to assist the planning process.  
There are many roles for volunteers to make this event thrive!  Please contact us if you can contribute some time to assist with this very special gathering.  We have positions for preparation as well as on site set-up and clean-up.  Many hands make light work!
