1st Annual Southern California Permaculture Convergence
August 29-31, 2008 

Dear Permaculture Community,

We would like to invite PDC graduates to the 1st Annual Southern California
Permaculture Convergence, August 29-31, 2008, hosted by the Santa Barbara
Permaculture Network and Quail Springs Learning Oasis and Permaculture Farm.

We hope to kick-start this effort of a Regional Convergence, allowing others
to take over in the future. As organizers for this first convergence we hope
to move past any barriers caused by lack of time, available sites, or even
teacher territories that might exist, and instead just recognize the work
and accomplishments of all, and proceed from there with the important work
around connecting individuals and communities in the region.  We feel a
certain urgency in these times, and feel that permaculture and this
amazingly creative permaculture community that exists in Southern California
is up to the task!

We have been working hard to accomplish organizing this event with little
time, so we ask for your patience.  The Convergence website will be up soon
with a registration process for the event.  We will share an announcement
and invitation with more details about the event to this list when
registration opens.    If you are concerned that you might miss that on the
general list, you are welcome to email Kolmi Majumdar at
info at quailsprings.org to join the Convergence interest list, and that
announcement will be sent to your individual email address.   

Please note that the Convergence will be limited to 50 because of site
restrictions, and you must have a Permaculture Design Course certificate (72
hour Curriculum certificate) to attend.  A discount will be offered with
full payment when you register online before July 1st.  

If you have any images you would like to share (with captions) of your
permaculture site or projects, we would love to highlight those by having
them be a part of the Southern California Convergence website.  Please
forward images to our webmaster, John Calvert jc at virtualtribes.net .  

An ad is in the current issue of the Permaculture Activist (see attachment),
placed to meet their deadline, but a little early for us!  Again, thanks for
your patience, and we hope you can join us at a groundbreaking event for our
region. 

 
Sincerely from the Convergence  hosting team, 

Kolmi Majumdar & Warren Brush, Quail Springs Learning Oasis and Permaculture
Farm
Margie Bushman & Wes Roe, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network
