Join Liora Adler & Andrew Langford on Monday, Oct 
8, 7-9:30pm, with a talk about Gaia University and action based learning.

Founded in 2004 Gaia University is a 
revolutionary university without walls, a 
university across borders that focuses on 
ecological regeneration and social justice while 
offering students Bachelors and Masters degrees.

Action learning is central to Gaia University 
methodology with an approach that emphasizes a 
balanced flow of action and theory – learning by 
doing merged with learning by thinking.

Gaia University offers a unique and flexible 
model based on self-directed, project-based 
pathways. With a minimum of required courses, 
students devote the major part of their energy 
towards the design, implementation and 
documentation of real-world projects, with a 
support web of advisers and mentors who 
assist  in the practical development of  projects 
and encourage students to develop the capacity to 
think critically about their work and inner processes.

Liora Adler & Andrew Langford are co-founders and 
co-presidents of Gaia University 
<http://www.gaiauniversity.org>www.gaiauniversity.org

Liora has over thirty years experience with 
ecovillages and the establishment of global 
networks. In 1982 Liora co-founded Huehuecoyotl 
Ecovillage in highlands of central Mexico.  Liora 
was lead partner of the spectacular Caravan 
Arcoiris de la Paz theatre that toured South 
America from 1996- 2009 carrying messages of 
peace and permaculture. Liora has served on the 
Board of the Global Ecovillage Network, as a UN 
representative, and is a Board Member of The 
Global Village Institute. She holds an Master of 
Education with a major in counseling psychology.

Andrew holds a Masters degree in Organization 
Analysis and Development and a postgraduate 
Diploma in Management Studies but believes his 
most potent education takes place outside of 
conventional institutions.  Andrew initiated 
permaculture teaching in the UK starting in 1985 
and, together with others in the Permaculture 
Association of Britain, helped train more than 
3,000 permaculture designers. He is a principal 
architect of the Permaculture Diploma WorkNet from the UK.

         The evening talk takes place on Monday 
Oct 8, 7pm-9:30pm, Ayni Galley, 216 State St., 
Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Admission $5, no 
reservations required. More info: (805)962-2571, margie at sbpermaculture.org
