Quail Springs' November 2007
Fall is with us, the
cottonwood leaves are falling, as we harvest the fruits of an amazing year with
thankful hearts, we are looking toward winter with many preparations.
The coming months will
involve planning our 2008 calendar of events, to include a Skill Builder Series
of weekend workshops as well as Service Learning weekends, our 3rd Permaculture
Design Course (with Geoff Lawton), EcoNest workshops, and other special
events! We'll keep you posted.
Although we have a
break in offering of Service Learning weekends for the coming winter months, if
you are specially interested in volunteering with natural plastering projects,
please get in touch and we will aim to coordinate volunteer visits for
this. info@quailsprings.org or 805-886-7239
IMPORTANT announcement to ALL Quail Springs
friends, family, interns and other guests!
As of January 1, 2008, the gate codes with be changing monthly. Therefore, you will need to contact us for
the current code even if you have been here many times before. We are doing this as part of a concerted
effort to address issues with the private landowner through whose property the
private road that gives access to Quail Springs
crosses. It is critical that each and
every vehicle coming to Quail Springs strictly observes the 10 MPH speed limit
on the private road, as well as ALL TRAFFIC LAWS. In other words, this is no longer an
opportunity to teach a young person how to drive, no riding in the back of the
truck or on the bumper, and be sure to keep your lights on at night despite how
much you want to see the moon and stars, etc. etc. We must require adherence to these rules for
all approaching Quail Springs in order not to jeopardize our ease of access. Thank you for understanding and helping!
EcoNest workshops 2008
The beginning stages of the EcoNest will involve
workshops in which builders, home owners, or other interested folks will work
with the EcoNest team in a series of two workshops that give the participant a
solid foundation in understanding this unique system of sustainable building.
Dates and cost are TBA. If you would
like to be on an initial interest contact list, please email info@quailsprings.org.
Available for purchase. Quail Springs, An Experiment in Permaculture
Interested Interns please inquire for 2008...
We'll be taking in
new interns again in Spring 2008, but we may make
exceptions for new interns this Winter for those with natural building
experience and ability to house themselves for winter weather. All interested interns feel free to inquire
regardless and we will see what timing may work.
Work and live "on the farm" through volunteer
internships beginning with up to one month, with possibility of up to 6
months. Assist with ongoing
permaculture development of the farm and share in community life.
Projects this year include food systems, gardening, aquaculture, natural
building, watershed restoration, animal husbandry, capital campaign
development, and more. Experience and
training is not needed, although this is a great opportunity to further
experience and education in all aspects of farm and permaculture site
development. Contact info@quailsprings.org for more info.
The following special
offering will be hosted by Quail Springs...
PLANT SPIRIT HEALING ***APPRENTICESHIP*** with Pam
Montgomery
Plant Spirit Healing accesses the conscious intelligence
of plants in order to direct the dynamic nature of energy. Plants are sentient
beings whose symbiotic relationship with humans gives them the unique ability
to communicate, guide and heal us on physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
When plant spirit healing is
undertaken you begin living according to your own true nature. You become more
fully who you are and more engaged in walking the path that is uniquely yours.
As one of Pam's clients said, "There's no room for Lyme disease because I take
up more of the space."
Plant Spirit Healing is on the leading edge of vibrational
healing. Accessing Spirit
through the avenue of the green world is one of the easiest and most effective
ways to achieve healing at a root level. The healing that occurs is not symptomatic,
rather it transforms the source of the dis-ease or
challenge.
This certified college level
course is designed for those who desire to receive in-depth understanding and
training in:
· personal
healing - physically, emotionally and spiritually

your bliss
