Howdy Ya'll,
The long talked about training tour is getting ready
to launch. Below is the announcement and tour
itinerary in both in line text and as attachments.
If you are interested in helping out by hosting
a training, providing us with
contacts along our route, or fundraising please
contact me at <mailto:skillstour at gmail.com>skillstour at gmail.com if possible.
The itinerary reflects the general timeframe we will
be in a certain area but course deviations of a few
hundred miles are absolutely possible at this point.
Remember if you are considering hosting a training it
does not have to be a huge event. We are happy to
teach 10 folks in someone's living room as well as
larger, more formal settings. We are not charging for
the trainings but plan on passing the hat to cover our
expenses (as well as donations from our supporters).
Blessed Be, Delyla
ANNOUNCING:
THE SKILLS FOR NEW MILLENNIUM TOUR
Cultivating Revolutionary Ways of Living
The PermiBus is Coming to Town!
The world as we currently know it is changing
fast peak oil, climate change, globalization,
government infringement of personal rights
the list goes on.
What new world will emerge as we boldly step into
this new millennium? What will you contribute to
shaping the future? What skills do you need to create your tomorrow?
The Skills for New Millennium Tour hits the road
in 2008 bringing a skill set that helps prepares
you to meet the challenges of the New Millennium.
We know change can be intimidating. Therefore,
the skills we offer; grounded in decades of
activism, poverty and spiritual consciousness;
emphasize making small, marginal changes that help you live what you believe.
The Earth Activist Training (EAT) PermiBus will
be on the road, visiting communities nationwide,
in order to offer you and your community
practical skills that help you wrest control of
your life from corporate hands. The PermiBus is a
40-foot mobile permaculture demonstration project
bus in progress; complete with solar power,
greywater systems, composting toilet, three dogs
and clutch of chickens. Our goal? To teach
practical skills that can be used to make you and
your community more sustainable.
The Skills for the New Millennium Tour offers
programs to anyone who wants to host a Skills
Event: individuals, community groups, high
schools, colleges, intentional
communities.... We know that community needs are
diverse, so we offer a wide variety of program
options that can be mixed and matched to best meet your needs.
Trainings are offered in three primary types of
empowered learning experiences: trainings,
facilitated discussions, and workshops in the
areas of homesteading skills, life skills, and citizenship skills.

Skills Tour programs are designed to range from

well as personal donations we encourage you to
organize fundraisers in your community: have a
canning party, hold a house concert, tell your
friends about our work, pass the hat...when
working on the margins every little bit helps.
