Permaculture Voices 2015, a
gathering of some of the top minds in permaculture, non-destructive food
production, and individuals who are living the lives that bring them the most
amount of happiness is less than a month away.
If you haven't registered yet, then there is still time.
Now I get it that you've got a ton of things on your plate right now...
If you're involved with permaculture, non-destructive food production and
building a happy life, you've got to have many irons in the fire, but I wanted
to make you aware of a few things around the event this year.
The goal for the conference this year is to take the next step beyond PV1 and
really start addressing the question of how to make a permaculture life a
reality.
So here's my ask...
If you've thought about Permaculture Voices, but dismissed the idea of
coming back this year, or of telling others about it, consider revisiting the
idea.
Why?
Because I think it might be a very good fit for you and help to solve...
How to transition to a permaculture livelihood. Connect with other
people doing it, what’s working for them, and what isn’t. Leverage their
experience.
How to fund that transition. Grants, value adding onto
other businesses, small side businesses, and low capital cost businesses are
some of the ways to do that.
The specific technique information for the enterprise you want to
start. How is the X year veteran running their enterprise, and how
could their experience save you time and money?
Would that idea work? Is someone else doing this successfully
outside your bio-region? Does someone have more experience in this area
that I could shares ideas with over coffee?
The inspiration needed to bolster your spirits for not only 4 days but for 4
seasons. If you need a boost to get unstuck or started you will
get a heavy dose of inspirational content from people at every level of the
success ladder giving you an educational, motivational four day adventure with
some of the best people in the world...
It's really hard to present all of the ways which Permaculture Voices delivers
value because I think it is different for everyone. As an attendee of PV1
I am sure you can list several ways which PV1 affected you, and those reasons
may be only unique to you.
PV1 touched a lot of people in a powerful way, and I think PV2 can be a
life changer for some people. Not for everyone, and maybe not for you,
but for many permies PV2 will provide that missing piece. A missing piece
that isn't identifiable now, but one that will have a huge leveraging affect
when found.
If you are looking for a change, a kick-start, or a bit of recharge and think
that PV2 is a fit for you take a look at the pricing structure at http://www.permaculturevoices.com/pv2/scholarships/
The pricing structure has scholarships based on paying what you can
afford. I've tried to make PV2 as accessible as possible while still
paying the bills - it's no secret, big events cost a lot of money to put
on.
Scholarships are priced in the range of last year, no application
required.
At all pricing levels I think that the event is very affordable considering the
value that you will get back.
If you want to pursue a career in a permaculture related field then the value
that you get out of these 5 days at PV2 will be measurable. Listen to
the Adam Klaus interview below if you don't want to take my word for it.
Many of the leaders in permaculture will be at PV2.
Many of the doers will be at PV2 as attendees and speakers.
There will be a huge body of collective knowledge and experience all in one
place. Take advantage of that. Come in with a plan, and maximize
your time and the value that you get out of the event. You won't regret
it.
If you think that PV2 might be a fit for someone else that you know, I would
appreciate it if you could share this information with them. This
event is a huge amount of work and I would really appreciate help getting the
word out there as the event nears.
Keep pushing forward and being the change that you want to see in the
world. I'd like to thank you for helping to bring more change into
this world and creating the world I want my daughters to grow up in...
>From the bottom of my heart, my thanks to you for reading this. I
appreciate it.
