This is Jan Spencer in Eugene, Oregon ... spencerj at efn.org

I am  organizing a speaking tour in California called Global Trends -
Local  Choices.  "Perspectives, models and tools to redefine the present
and  future."

This could be called Social Permaculture.  Not only the  hands on stuff
but how hands on stuff can leverage community building, reduce  eco
impact and create more resilient places where we live, boost the  local
economy,,,,,,,

Topics - converting a suburban property into a  Permaculture shangri -
la. Making good use of neighborhood associations,  creating resilient
neighborhoods, permaculture, home economics, communities  of faith and 
more.

My tour plan is to go south along the western  sierra, to the coast 
drive
from Ventura up the coast and would like to  make presentations in
Ventura, Santa Barbara, SLO, Monterrey, Santa Cruz and  the Bay Area.

No dates have been set but mid April is looking likely for  Santa 
Barbara.

There is no charge from me.  I am interested to  connect with people and
groups that would like to collaborate on a free and  public presentation
that would interest many people, its timely.  Are  you interested to 
help out? The need - finding an easy to access place in  town for the
presentation, publicity, perhaps connecting me with local  media.

I would also like very much to see good works in Santa  Barbara.  And
feel free to pass this info along or suggest others I  might contact.

More on my website  www.suburbanpermaculture.org

Thanks!

Jan
