Furthur Info on Permaculture/Organic Gardening/Wilderness Retreat in Santa Barbara needs help

[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

Hello Margie, my name is Joe Garcia and I got your e-mail out the
 >HopeDance Mag. I am from the San Luis Obispo Permaculture Guild but
 >currently in a masters program here at New College of California in
 >Sonoma County.
          just was wondering if anyone in the Santa Barbara
 >guild would be interested in helping to secure a good site that could
 >be used for teaching or retreat. I have a friend off the 154 pass
 >(west el camino suelo) who is in need of some friends that share the
 >same vision for this site. It is an 80 acre site with multiple
 >dwellings, running water, lots of oaks, great view of S.B and only
 >15 min from S.B. My friends name is Xasa (Sasha) and is in need of
 >roomates in this very nice main house. He needs to find some people
 >soon or he might lose the site to a dot.commer who would be able to
 >offer the owner of the property a lot more than xasa can afford.
 >So the only way to save this site is to have a solid group of roomates
 >who can contribute to the rent and at the same time, the owner will see some
 >of the vision that good stewards share. The owner wants "some
 >thing" to happen and at the same time wants money to pay the taxes.
 >If you are interested or know of anyone please contact Xasa by phone
 >at (805)683-3711
 >
 >It is a beautiful site, I wish I could live there but right now this is
 >where I belong. I would just be very sad if this site were lost,
 >any help would be greatly appreciated. Xasa has had many people come
 >to look at the place but they were turned off at the fact that there
 >is no electricity for their big screen tv. I have spent many nights
 >there with the franklin fireplace, pot belly stove, fire ring and candles
 >and had a special time. I see it as a place to be innovate
 >and practice what we preach about alternative energy or just candles
 >the way our ancestors did in past times. "Thank you" peace. Joe Garcia
