[Central Coast CA Permaculture] grateful for what we can create together, grateful for what we can give

[Teresa Lees]

Hello Permaculture Community,

 

As we all know, in a permaculture community we are grateful for what the
earth provides us and for opportunities for what people can do to co-create
build sustainable solutions for today, tomorrow and the future. We are all
in this together!

 

In permaculture, and other earth based communities, we give gratitude at
each of our gatherings and honor the gift of coming together to care for the
earth, care for people, and to share the abundance. We know that "Every Day
is Thanksgiving." We give what we can, whenever we can, as that is one of
the ethics we live by.

 

This Thanksgiving, I am very grateful for those who came together to help
with the cob building project at SLO City Farm. I want to thank Chad Franco
for facilitating the workshop and Adriana Lemus, his partner, for all her
support. I want to thank the following people for coming for both weekends:
Mariah Joy Soloy Belt and her son Gavin and also Brian Ernest Marsh. I want
to also thank Scott Kam, Molly McCabe, Chrystie Richards, Amanda Smith, and
Tyler and Julio, Chads friends, for coming to lend a helping hand. Also
grateful to Plant Based Conscious Chef, Angelica Peach, who helped prepare a
beautiful salad each weekend. (Vegan cupcakes too. You can find her on
Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ChefAngelicaCulinary/) 

 

We worked with the clay earth, adding DG as our sand, and straw to build a
playhouse for generations to come. It was delightful to be on the land
together, to create together and to eat food together.

 

WE ARE STILL IN NEED OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT. PLEASE GIVE WHAT
YOU CAN TO THE GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN.

We are about 2/3 of the way done with the project but we still need to
finish the last top third of the walls and to build a roof. In the New Year
we will have another workshop for the sculpting and plastering of the walls.
If you want to come to that workshop and/or to help finish with the building
this holiday season contact Chad Franco at chad at cobjobs.com. Here are some
photos of the cob building workshops:

 







 

 

We all know these are times of transition and upheaval, but it means that
now we must be even stronger, more resilient and do whatever we can to make
the kind of world we all want to live in.

 

Thank you for any support you can give,

 

Teresa Lees
