soil expert Dr. Elaine Ingham at Orella Ranch on the Gaviota coast. Barbara 
 Wishingrad, Jacob Rodrigue, Tres Wallower and the events committee of PGSB 
are  organizing this event.  


>From 7 pm - 7:20 we'll enjoy our  potluck and conversation.  At 7:20 pm 
we'll begin our program  as our presenters share what they have learned about 
healing our soil. Then  we'll go around the circle with our "Talking Stick," 
brainstorming and sharing  any ideas you have on ...
    *   How can we best improve the tilth and health of local soil?  
    *   How can permaculture ethics and principles guide us toward a better 
 relationship with local soils?   
    *   Since April is the 4th month of the year, we'll pay special 
attention to  permaculture's 4th principle: "Apply Self-regulation and Accept  
Feedback."
Please come and share your ideas, resources and needs!
 


 
To inspire us, here are two quotes from Carl Jung:  
It is the body,  the feeling, the instincts, which connect us with the  
soil.  If you give up the past you naturally detach from  the past; you lose 
your roots in the soil, your connection with the totem  ancestors that dwell 
in your soil.  You turn outward and  drift away, and try to conquer other 
lands because you are exiled form your own  soil. 
Natural Life is the nourishing  soil of the soil.
