[Scpg] Perma-Psych Petals plus Boulder's going-local and Pc plans

Wed Dec 19 08:52:34 PST 2007

It's interesting to note that "Health and Spiritual Wellbeing" petal on the  
Permaculture flower.  I'm assuming that Health includes "mental health" so  
this seems to be where perma-psychology belongs? Although the "culture and  
education" petal is also part of perma-psych, imo, especially the "culture"  
piece.  And of course it's all connected anyway...

"Permaculture offers a radical  approach to food production and urban 
renewal, water,  energy and pollution. It integrates ecology,  landscape, organic 
gardening, architecture and  agro-forestry in creating a rich and sustainable way 
 of living. It uses appropriate technology giving high  yields for low energy 
inputs, achieving a resource of  great diversity and stability. The design 
principles  are equally applicable to both urban and rural  dwellers. " --Bill 
Mollison

Dear friends of BVR and the BOULDER  COUNTY GOING LOCAL! Campaign,
As you know, Richard Heinberg and others  have pointed to the urgent need for 
millions of new  farmers in this country over the next several years,  and 
one of the best ways of helping to achieve this  goal is to get as many people 
as possible trained in  Permaculture principles and methods. Fortunately,  
interest in Permaculture is booming in Boulder County,  which will help stimulate 
the expansion of our local  foodshed. 
On January 7 (Mon.), 7:00  p.m., Sandy Cruz of High Altitude Permaculture  
Institute will be teaching INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE  PRINCIPLES. The class 
will be free for those  who register (call 303-459-3494), and will be held at  
Boulder Meadows Community Room, 4500 19th Street  (Violet & 19th in North 
Boulder).
Following a dynamic conclusion to the  PERMACULTURE THROUGH  THE SEASONS! 
Design Certification Course last  month (with 35 graduates), we are pleased to 
announce  that Sandy Cruz will be teaching another eight-month  course in 2008, 
along with Becky Elder, a permaculture  activist and gardener from Manitou 
Springs. Guest  teachers will include Marco Chung-Shu Lam and Jerome  Osentowski. 
The course, sponsored by Boulder County  Going Local, will be held the second 
weekend of each  month, March 8 through  October 12. A descriptive flyer is 
_available  here_

soon, because  this course will sell out quickly! Sandy says, "Please  think about 
joining us this year, and let your friends  know, too. We expect the course 
to fill, so if you're  considering signing up or applying for a scholarship,  
be sure to request a registration form soon. Our  super-early-bird discount 
will be in effect until  January 8th, followed by our early-bird discount until  
February 8th." To register, call Sandy at  303-459-3494.
Sandy and Becky will also be offering  the first locally-based course for 
PERMACULTURE TEACHER'S  CERTIFICATION, providing ongoing support for  new 
teachers and opportunities to assist experienced  instructors at workshops. Winter 
classroom work will  focus on developing teaching and organizational  skills, 
with hands-on exercises to build confidence  and ease. Participants will then 
assist at diverse  Permaculture workshops offered along the Front Range,  and 
have an individual conference with the instructor.  Dates of the course are 
February 9, 16, 23 and July  26. The closing day of the course will focus on  
future collaboration among participants by developing  teaching teams and 
designing a local workshop  curriculum for Fall 2008-2009. Details _available  here_

Course in the eight-month format beginning in  April. In the Boulder area, 
Sandy will teach a variety  of one and two-day permaculture workshops on specific  
subjects beginning in the spring. She will also be  training new instructors 
this winter to help meet the  soaring demand for Permaculture education.

April. This is a 72-hour course, with 12 hours of  webinar instruction, and

instruction that is  becoming available!
