A plan is underway for a Michigan/MidWest Permaculture Convergence to take place perhaps somewhere in the beautiful North West Michigan area in the Summer of 2013.

The idea of this convergence is to offer a new community-building/community-training vision, We will select a site and invite the permaculture designers in the area to create a space for the event to showcase permaculture elements.

When the convergence is over the infrastructure will be left behind for the community to use. This also creates a low impact event on the land being used for the site. It will also serve as an example for the community of a large event with a very small footprint.

Next year, the convergence will move to a new Michigan community and repeat the process.

Join us for the upcoming meeting on Jan. 14th in Traverse City, @ 514 Second St., in the Alley 6 pm—-just behind Salon Verve and to the east off the corner of Oak/Second/Randolph Sts. Parking available behind the empty chiropractors’ office.

We are working toward the objective of hosting the first Michigan-area Permaculture Convergence. We want & need your participation to do the initial brainstorming and planning to define this event. Please join us!

This is an enormous opportunity to fuse and highlight the incredible permaculture activity throughout Michigan and possibly the multi-state region.

Please keep inviting and linking others in the Michigan and Mid West regions to join the Facebook  group to enter into discussions and check out notes and organizational progress and get involved: https://www.facebook.com/groups/582546135104494/
