Co-Inspiration

As the season’s shift and summer begins to unfold we bear witness to  
dramatic change in our ecological worlds and the social fabric that  
connects us. A massive wave peels and crests and we find us at the  
point of dropping in once again.

Our Revolution is upon us. It is time to Gather in Circle again.

We are Solutionaries with the Solutions
To Restore our Responsibility to Relationships
And our Relationships to Responsibility.


Convergence Description

Come gather with past and present, green and veteran permaculture  
students, designers, teachers, and organizers for this epic  
convergence that brings together “permies” from Northern California,  
the West Coast, and Beyond. Our Intention is to come together to  
collaborate and co-create greater synergy and strength within our  
networks to maximize the yield of our system, realize our infinite  
potential, and activate a culture of regeneration.

Since the first Bay Area Regional Permaculture Convergence held in  
2002, our community has seen tremendous growth in the size of our  
movement, the depth and diversity of our relationships, and in our  
ability to implement positive change and effective solutions within  
our communities and in the world at large. This Convergence will  
continue to build momentum from the previous Permaculture  
Convergences  that have happened thus far, further weaving the web of  
a positive solutionary based movement that is slowly making the  
current paradigm obsolete.

This year's Convergence will focus on deepening our connections and  
sharing our insights and knowledge with each other.


Convergence Schedule

The Convergence will be a full two-day gathering including Key Note  
Speakers & Presentations, Open Space, Bioregional Councils,  
Collaborative Discussions, Spokes Councils, Delicious & Nutritious  
Food, Networking, Music, Evening Festivities, Good Times, and much more!


Permaculture Immersion Marathon at RDI

The Convergence is placed between two amazing Permaculture Trainings  
at RDI - A PDC directly before and a Permaculture Teacher Training  
directly afterwards.


Who Should Attend?

This gathering is offered for permaculture designers, professionals,  
and organizers in the Northern California Bioregions and the greater  
Pacific Northwest to come together to network share, strategize, and  
synergize about our various projects and initiatives within the  
greater Permaculture Movement.

California and the greater San Francisco Bay Area is home to one of  
the most diverse and progressive Permaculture Communities in the  
world, and attendance of this convergence will be filled with highly  
active professionals, activists, educators, organizers... and you!

Special guests will include Robyn Francis from The Permaculture  
College of Australia, International Guests from Africa, and permies
