[Sdpg] Intensive Experiential Permaculture Workshop with SBCC at Quail Springs, July 1-3

[Quail Springs]

Greetings Permaculture enthusiasts!  

We're putting on this intensive experiential workshop as part of Santa
Barbara City College's Permaculture course.  We want to open up some space
in the workshop for non-SBCC folks as we've heard that Permaculture
enthusiasts are often keen for opportunities to get some guided experience
in a facilitated group setting.   

The prerequisite to join this workshop is to have taken an Intro to
Permaculture course, a Permaculture Design Certification course, or to have
done some substantial reading on Permaculture - in order to have the group
be up to speed with conceptual basics of Permaculture and ready to dive into
the intensive together!
