  Permaculture and the Sacred with Starhawk- December 4-6 in Ojai
Starhawk
Permaculture ("permanent-culture") creates a practical model of abundance and beauty for all, a vision that's both attainable and sustainable with present technology, a practice that works with nature instead of against her.  In this workshop, Starhawk, a dedicated permaculturalist herself, takes it one step further.  Join her to explore ways to listen to the land, communicate with nature spirits, heal the scars of past land-abuse, and observe the wisdom of the wild.

"If there is any positive side to stark changes coming our way, it may be in the benefits of close communal relations, of having to really work intimately (and physically) with our neighbors, to be part of an enterprise that really matters and to be fully engaged in meaningful social enactments instead of being merely entertained to avoid boredom.

Years from now, when we hear singing at all, we will hear ourselves, and we will sing with our whole hearts."
