Hello Permaculture Guild,

Please join us TONIGHT for a lively presentation on permaculture and good time with fellow “Permies.” Just bring your beautiful self (and maybe a friend or two)!

April 12th - Introduction to Permaculture, 7pm @ Ludwick Community Center

Join the SLO Permaculture Guild for an Introduction to Permaculture, a design methodology for creating living spaces, food systems, and communities based on holistic, ecological principles and relevant to individuals from any background. Alex Vincent, a permaculture designer, educator, and local of the Central Coast, will be sharing stories from his pursuits to understand permaculture as a tool for positive and effective change. The evening’s informal discussion will address common questions such as:

        What is Permaculture?  Where did it come from? Does it work? How can we get involved? 

This free, introductory event is one of several to be held before the upcoming SLO Permaculture Design Course. Offered on ten Saturdays and four Sundays, April through August, the course is organized by volunteers as a flexible, low-cost way for individuals to deepen their knowledge about truly sustainable living.  Course sessions are hosted at exemplar sites throughout the county and draw on local teachers and practitioners to provide hands-on, pertinent information and examples. The course is aligned with accredited permaculture curriculum and awards an internationally recognized certificate to participants upon completion of a final design project.

Come hear and feel the passion for permaculture that Alex Vincent will showcase as he presents a powerful presentation with examples of permaculture from around the world. His talk is quite inspiring. This is how Bob Banner commented on the talk… “Fantastic presentation with wild abandonment and enthusiastic joy!!

Following the talk, the SLO Permaculture Leadership Team will add their perspectives through a panel discussion and be available to answer questions about the Course.    

If you have questions about the Introduction, the course or about donating, please browse our website slopermaculture.net, email slopermaculture@gmail.com, or call Alex Vincent at 805 729 6845.
