Permaculture (“permanent-culture”) creates a practical model of
abundance and beauty for all, a vision that’s both attainable and
sustainable with present technology, a practice that works with nature
instead of against her.

In this workshop, Starhawk, a dedicated permaculturalist herself,
takes it one step further. Join her to explore ways to listen to the
land, communicate with nature spirits, heal the scars of past
land-abuse, and observe the wisdom of the wild. [Lectures and hands-on
projects to be created in response to site itself and its
opportunities. In past, has included fungi cultivation, planting
living shade structures with fruit trees, fun with cobb, “mud people,”
pond construction, kitchen garden plantings, herb spirals, ritual to
heal clear-cut forests, learning to see like an owl and walk like a
fox — and so on.]

Starhawk is one of the most respected voices in modern earth-based
spirituality. She is also well-known as a global justice activist and
organizer, whose work and writings have inspired many to action. She
is the author or coauthor of ten books, including The Spiral Dance: A
Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess, long considered
the essential text for the Neo-Pagan movement, and the now-classic
ecotopian novel The Fifth Sacred Thing. Starhawk’s newest book is The
Earth Path: Grounding Your Spirit in the Rhythms of Nature. She
believes council, ceremony and nature can enrich anyone’s life, and
the sooner the better.

"If there is any positive side to stark changes coming our way, it may
be in the benefits of close communal relations, of having to really
work intimately (and physically) with our neighbors, to be part of an
enterprise that really matters and to be fully engaged in meaningful
social enactments instead of being merely entertained to avoid
boredom.

Years from now, when we hear singing at all, we will hear ourselves,
and we will sing with our whole hearts."
