Have
you ever been to an International Permaculture Convergence (IPC)?
They
are epic, drawing the best & brightest permaculturists from around the
world to help put together visionary solutions for a better world. For more
than 40 years Permaculture has been leading the way with innovative, planet and
climate friendly design strategies, that are just now being fully recognized by
the rest of the world as the answer to some of our most pressing problems.
Held
every two years in different parts of the globe, the next IPC takes place in
Hyderabad India, November 2017, hosted by Aranya Agricultural Alternatives.
The
Friends of the International Permaculture Convergences (FIPC) and Santa
Barbara Permaculture Network are hosting a CROWD FUND campaign launch
event in support of the IPC India scholarship fund on Sunday,
May 28, with electro-funk, ecological electro-swing ukulele, super enthusiastic
Charlie Mgee, of the Formidable Vegetable Sound System band.
Visiting
from Australia, Charlie is currently on tour promoting his new CD.
He has been to every corner of the globe, recognizing music as one of the best
tools for bringing about cultural change, and has dedicated his musical mission
to composing swingin’ tunes on ukulele about Permaculture, sustainability and
other ecological themes. In 2015, Charlie played for the opening night of the
most recent International Permaculture Convergence (IPC UK) in London, England.
Please join us for an evening of celebration, as we celebrate 20
years of Permaculture in our Southern California region, and India
celebrates a 30 year anniversary since Bill Mollison arrived to share the
word of Permaculture on that continent. In addition to an evening
of music, we will share some exciting news about IPC India and the
exemplary work Aranya Agriculture Alternatives and others have been doing in
India through the years.
All
event ticket admissions go towards the crowd fund campaign,
which is specifically for scholarships for IPC delegates from around the world,
who may be skill rich, but many times coming from countries and regions that
are cash poor. Forty-two delegates have applied so far. Please support
generously with your dollars, the life & civilization they save may be your
own!
Beverages
& appetizers will be offered, and Nimita’s Food Cart with Indian themed
food will be available for purchase (please indicate when registering
if interested in purchasing).
Charlie’s
new CD will be available for sale, and the newest edition of the Permaculture
Magazine North America, just off the press, will be available for a special
event price.
The
event is Eventbrite invitation only, with directions provided after payment &
