[Santa_Cruz_Permaculture] Urban Homesteading: Heirloom Skills for Sustainable Living

[Rachel Kaplan]

> Dear Permaculture Allies,
>  
> We are writing to let you know about the upcoming release of our book, Urban Homesteading: Heirloom Skills for Sustainable Living. This richly illustrated how-to and why-to for the urban homesteading movement is the first book of its kind with a specific permaculture focus. With a central chapter outlining the principles, and different ways to apply them highlighted throughout, this book will be an excellent manual for individuals, families and communities seeking to apply permaculture practices throughout all aspects of their lives.
> We are hoping you will make your network aware of this book, and direct them to our website: www.Urban-Homesteading.org, to get more information and to order a copy. This book could be useful for permaculture design certification courses, especially those that have an urban focus or which include the urban permaculture experience.
> 
> Authors Rachel Kaplan and K. Ruby Blume are certified permaculture designers who trained under Penny Livingston-Stark, James Stark, Brock Dolman, Erik Ohlson, and others. They homestead in the San Francisco Bay Area and teach heirloom skills, personal ecology, and applied permaculture to individuals and groups. We are available to support your permaculture networks via our website's question and answer forum, our class offerings, and our availability as teachers and presenters in your community.
>  
> We are grateful to you for spreading the word throughout your network. Please contact us should you need more information, or to discuss ways we might be able to serve your community.

> …nurture all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.  To accept these realities is to accept contentment as the maturation of happiness, and to acknowledge that clarity and grace can be found in genuine unvarnished existence.  Filled with subtlety and depth, this way is a river flowing toward and away from you, and always within you.   --Richard Powell
