[Central Coast CA Permaculture] TONIGHT!/Starhawk Talk & Moment to Honor Bill Mollison//Sun Oct 2 7-9pm

Sun Oct 2 11:10:25 PDT 2016

Join us tonight as we gather to hear Starhawk's 
great talk, and at the start of the evening take 
a moment to honor the life and work of Bill 
Mollison, the person, who with his then student 
David Holmgren, conceived the Permaculture 
concept, then while no one was looking, launched 
the global permaculture movement on the world!

Yes, lot's of help from others for sure, but 
sometimes it takes on exceptionally strong 
individual to initiate what later will be adopted 
by many.  He came to Santa Barbara in 1997, 
taught a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) in 
nearby Ojai, was the beginning of so much in our 
region.  Bill's final wish was to have all around 
the world plant a tree!  In his honor, the SBCC 
Environmental Horticulture Dept will plant a tree in the SBCC Lifescape Garden.

Small groups of like-minded people can revitalize 
a town, plan our transition to a new, 
locally-focused economy and technology, and 
change the world. They can be exciting, 
nurturing, empowering places to be.  And they can 
also founder on the rocks of conflict and poor communication.

Patrick Whitefield called permaculture "The art 
of designing beneficial relationships".  In this 
evening talk, Starhawk (www.starhawk.org) 
explores how permaculture principles and 
ethics--along with insights from her many 
decades of experience in small groups of many 
kind--can help us navigate conflict, communicate 
more clearly, and create empowering groups and effective organizations.

With earlier books exploring earth-based 
spirituality, Starhawk later merged with 
permaculture, and began teaching Earth Activist 
Trainings in Northern California with 
permaculture teacher Penny Livingston and 
others.  In this way she brought a valuable 
contribution to permaculture---which values 
observation of nature before design above all 
things---by demonstrating how ritual, around the 
cycles and rhythms of the earth, can help hone our observation skills.

Starhawk is the author of thirteen books, 
including, Earth Path: Grounding Your Spirit in 
the Rhythms of Nature;  The Empowerment Manual: A 
Guide for Collaborative Groups, and her latest 
novel, City of Refuge;The Sequel to The Fifth 
Sacred Thing. A leading voice in the earth-based 
spirituality movement for many years, she is a 
permaculture designer and teacher and directs 
Earth Activist Training, teaching ecological 
design grounded in spirit and with a focus on 
organizing, activism and social permaculture.

The event takes place on Sunday, October 2, 2016, 
7- 9pm, at the Santa Barbara City College Fe 
Bland Auditorium/BC Forum, SBCC West Campus, 800 
Block Cliff Drive, 93109. Books will be available 
for purchase & signing by the author.  Admission 
$10 general/$5 students.  No reservations 
required. For more info contact

How can permaculture principles bring people 
together to co-create and empower one another to 
transform patterns of unjust power into healing, 
nurturing and inspirational collaborative experiences?

Starhawk's New Fiction Book:
City of Refuge; the Sequel to The Fifth Sacred 
Thing follows the struggles, the sacrifices, and 
the victories of the peaceful warriors from 
Califa as they endeavor to construct a haven in 
the parched and war-torn South lands. Can magic, 
healing and love overcome the violence of a cruel 
and despotic regime?   http://starhawk.org
