[Ccpg] Tickets to Symbiosis Gathering for Permaculturists Volunteers

[Leonard Barrett]

Hey there you lovely permaculture all-stars:

I'm working with Symbiosis Events (Bay Area, CA, USA) to help create  
their Eco-Exploratorium (basically a bunch of beautiful, artistic  
permaculture demonstration projects projects) at this year's Symbiosis  
Festival. (http://www.symbiosisgathering.com/)  First a little about  
this amazing festival:

*****

Symbiosis Gathering is in it's fourth year since inception.  It's put  
together by a group of very progressive producers from the Bay Area,  
several of whom I know personally, and several of whom have taken a  
PDC.  This year the event is happening at an amazing new site in  
Yosemite National Park.  This lineup includes:

Presentations and Workshops By:

Fritjof Capra
Alex Grey
Daniel Pinchbeck
Starhawk
James Stark
and others...

Music By:

Amon Tobin
Coco Rosie
Os Mutantes
Les Claypool
Shpongle
Bassnectar
Flying Lotus
Glitch Mob
and many many more...

How to get the Tickets:

Below is an application for folks who have (or would like to build)  
demonstration projects which could include (but are certainly not  
limited to):

*Rainwater Harvesting
*Greywater
*Beekeeping (some sort of demo that does NOT include live bees)
*Bicycle-powered appliances/contraptions
*Soil-building
*Seed-Saving

Again, this is just a start, feel free to submit ideas for other  
demonstrations.

Whatever it is, it should be able to be transport it deep into the  
woods in California (Yosemite National Park), set it up, show it for  
the duration of the festival, and then deconstruct/haul away.  These  
are NOT for permanent installation.

There is some funding available for projects requiring a budget,  
please describe in the application the amount of money you need to  
complete a proposed project, and how it will be allocated.  The more  
creative and awe-inspiring your project, the more likely it will be to  
get funding.  Preference will generally be given to projects that are  
already built, or that require low-or no funding.

Feel free to email katrinazavalney at gmail.com if you have any questions  
about the application.

All the best, I hope to see some of y'all down there with cool  
projects to teach people about!

Leonard
