Have you ever been to an International Permaculture Convergence (IPC)?

They are epic!  drawing the best & brightest permaculturists from around the
globe to help put together visionary solutions for a better world. 

For more than 40 years Permaculture has been leading the way with
innovative, planet and climate friendly design strategies, that are just now
being fully recognized by the rest of the world as the answer to some of our
most pressing problems.  Held every two years in different parts of the
globe, the next IPC takes place in Hyderabad India, November 2017, hosted by
Aranya Agricultural Alternatives.

The Friends of the International Permaculture Convergences (FIPC) and  Santa
Barbara Permaculture Network are hosting a CROWD FUND event in support of
the IPC India scholarship fund on Sunday, May 28, with electro-funk,
ecological electro-swing ukulele, super infectious Charlie Mgee, of the
Formidable Vegetable Sound System band.   The concert event takes place in a
beautiful outdoor setting on ranch on the Santa Barbara Coast, where
sustainability & carbon farming techniques have been practiced for more than
a decade.  

>From Australia, Charlie is currently on tour in our area promoting his new
CD.  He has been to every corner of the globe, recognizing music as one of
the best tools for bringing about cultural change, and has dedicated his
musical mission to composing swingin' tunes on ukulele about sustainability,
Permaculture, and other ecological themes.  In 2015, Charlie played for the
opening night of the most recent IPC, the International Permaculture
Convergence in London, England.  

Please join us for an evening of celebration, as we celebrate 20 years of
Permaculture in our Southern California region, and India celebrates a 30
year anniversary since Bill Mollison arrived to share the word of
Permaculture on that continent.   In addition to an evening of music, we
will share some exciting news about IPC India and the exemplary work Aranya
and others have been doing in India through the years 

All event ticket admissions go towards the crowd fund, which is specifically
for scholarships for IPC delegates from around the world, who may be skill
rich, but many times coming from countries and regions that are cash poor.
Forty-two delegates have applied so far.  Please support generously with
your dollars, the life & civilization they save may be your own! 

Beverages & appetizers will be offered, and a Food Cart with Indian themed
food for purchase will also be available (please indicate when registering
if interested in purchasing).

Charlie's new CD will be available for sale, and the newest edition of the
Permaculture Magazine North America, just off the press, will be available
for a special event price.

The event is invitation only through Eventbrite, with directions provided
after payment & registration.  Bring hats, a lawn chair, warm clothing for
evening temperatures.  Parking is limited, please carpool!
