Little Artshram with O'k CSAe Permaculture Design has spent the last six months sponsoring a first-time Permaculture Design Course in Northern Michigan. With a plethora of remarkable national and regional Permaculture educators and an equally remarkable group of 28 students, we are learning to walk pathways of similarity, becoming allies with the land we share. We are all students engaged in world change, beginning to look honestly at our post-industrial, peak-oil world, a new, local economy, and what we truly wish to leave our children.

From Roots to Fruits: Ecological Design

PERMACULTURE:

The term "permaculture" initially meant "permanent agriculture" but was quickly

expanded to also stand for "permanent culture" as it was seen that social aspects were integral to a truly sustainable system. Now, permaculturists have gone one step further by recognizing that we must
design regenerative systems.

In our post-industrial age of Global Climate Change, Peak Oil, Nature Deficit-Disorder, and Financial Collapse, Permaculture has been quietly gaining recognition for 30 years, as a foundation of sustainable design. An applied systems-based science/art, Permaculture combines Appropriate Technology, Green Architecture, Natural Building, Renewable Energy, Alternative Waste Management, Organic Agriculture, Edible Forest Gardening, Nature Awareness, and more, into a holistic, intentional framework for community resiliency.

Little Artshram believes it is crucial to engage in creative education and world change, to re-learn, re-skill and re-connect to the pioneering work that Permaculture offers, and is proud to share the observations and creative problem solving, ecological design process of this Permaculture Design Course with you.

The Permaculture Design Fair will begin @ 11:30 am, with a lunch-time potluck, and an opening Introduction to Permaculture talk, followed by seven (7) student led Permaculture Design presentations.

Come meet and celebrate a community-building, educational project with a wonderful group of devoted, creative folks!

This event will take place at Little Artshram, and our PDC headquarters, just down from our Community Garden and Historic Barns Park home-place:

1015 Red Dr., Building #36, Traverse City, MI 49684 Evening party and graduation (end around 6-ish)

$10 donation suggested, and/or a dish to share at the lunch-time potluck.

Any additional funds raised will support Permaculture projects and education through Little Artshram at our Historic Barns Park home-place.

PLEASE RSVP, so we can create a mutually beneficial audience and presentation space!
