Graduate school has taken it’s toll on my workshop schedule! While teaching is taking a temporary backseat to study for a year or two, nevertheless there are a few great workshops coming up:
Liberation Ecology hosted by Burlington Permaculture
When: Saturday, March 21st 1:00 - 3:00pm
Where: Burlington Infoshop - 117 Bank Street, Burlington, VT
Cost: Free or by donation
• This will be my first local workshop since relocating to Burlington. There is such an amazing scene in Burlington, including a thriving local permaculture community - I’m excited to get into conversation with the people here who are passionate about making change.
Ecology of Transformation / Mycoscaping at the SEEDS Festival
When: June 15-18
Where: Earthdance Intentional Community, 252 Prospect Street, Plainfield, MA 01070. (413) 634-5678
Cost: The prices aren’t listed on the website yet - check back through the links above.
• This will be a very interesting workshop. Thanks to the long format, I’ll be able to incorporate a lot more Permaculture design into the syllabus. I’ll be combining a longer-form Lib Eco workshop with a mushroom-Permaculture workshop I do called Mycoscaping. So we’ll not only be doing lot’s of hands-on social project design, along with a lot of hands-on mushroom-centric Permaculture. Think of the theme as “underground networks of transformation,” or just enjoy the interdisciplinary mix of social and ecological design.
Although I don’t talk about it much on this website - which is oriented specifically toward the Liberation Ecology workshops - I also work professionally in permaculture design, teaching, and consultation. I’m looking forward to this chance to more thoroughly integrate these two aspects of my work.
The venue is an intentional community that - from what I hear - is a very lovely place to be. They began hosting this broad-ranging, future-oriented festival last year. After my four days, I’ll be sticking around for the weekend to guest-present with the wonderful Skotty Kellog from the Rhizome Collective, who will be facilitating a workshop on compost tea and aquaculture. We’re going to make a pond! Hope to see you there…
