The Ojai Foundation presents:

Permaculture and the Sacred with 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. [Lectures and hands-on projects to be created in response to site itself and its opportunities. In past, has included fungi cultivation, planting living shade structures with fruit trees, fun with cobb, “mud people,” pond construction, kitchen garden plantings, herb spirals, ritual to heal
clear-cut forests, learning to see like an owl and walk like a fox — and so on.]
