[Scpg] Sept/Oct 2006 South Coast Permaculture Guild Monthly Mtg. Announcment

Fri Sep 15 11:05:35 PDT 2006

Hi Everyone

After a long hiatus, we will begin our South Coast Permaculture monthly guild
meetings in Santa Barbara  again on Thursday Sept 21, 2006 with
participation &
observance of the United Nations Year of Peace (see below for details).  Since
there is no true sustainability without peace, we thought a very good way to
begin.   
Thursday, September 21 is the 25th annual United Nations International Day of
Peace.  Over 160 countries are commemorating this event.  In Santa Barbara
there
will be an event at the Courthouse Sunken gardens beginning at 6:30 p.m.  The
program begins with a proclamation of peace by Mayor Blum followed by words of
hope and peace by Rev. Mark Asman, Babatunde Folayemi, Stephen Sherill, and
the
Rev. Karen Weingard.  Live music will be provided by Lisa Lavie and Lois
Mahalia, Melissa Ramsey-Demeter and Dion Mial, backed by the Center of the
Heart Band featuring Eje` Lynn-Jacobs, George Friedenthal, Chris Judge, James
Spitzer and Chris Thomas.  After the program concludes we will hold a candle
light vigil.  This is an event for people of all ages, faiths and political
beliefs; a chance to unite with millions around the world in support of peace.

Come for a gathering in the courtyard of the Sola House, 312 E. Sola Street
(downtown, cross street is Garden St), prior to the event at 5:45 to talk
briefly about plans for the fall and new year for permaculture activities with
the South Coast Permaculture Guild.  Hear about all the exciting things taking
place in our area, so many groups and organizations doing work around
sustainability and permaculture. If you have an announcement to make please
bring something to post.  Following the Peace event at the Courthouse (within
walking distance), those wanting to return for further discussion will be
welcome to come back to the Sola House courtyard.  We will have light
refreshments, contribute if you'd like.

South Coast Permaculture meetings take place the third Thursday of the
month.

An Eco-Village is a human-scale, full-featured settlement, in which human
activities are harmlessly integrated into the natural world in a way that is
supportive of healthy human development and can be successfully continued into
the indefinite future. Eco-Village design is based mainly on permaculture
principles and is a way of thinking to create an abundant future. By conscious
design, we can reverse desertification, make agriculture ecologically sound,
reforest the planet and restore community life in rural and urban areas.
