I departed British Columbia at the end of August and I thought I'd give you all a little update about how it finished up... The turtle house was quite close to being ready to survive the wniter, so no fears that it will get there... especially under the very capable hands that are still working on it! Two of the interns during the program fell in love and decided to purchase the turtle house! They are making sure it moves along. Pat Henneberry and the rest of the leadership team (minus Logan and I) are still there as well. Can't wait to see how it proceeds!

Before leaving, our final week was spent in "Social Permaculture" with the infamous Starhawk, Charles, and Pandora. It was an interesting course, about how people interact and communicate. We learned some tools for facilitating meetings and resolving conflicts, to name a few topics...

The interns through a graduation party, which included facilitator massages (!) and swings at a pinata. I took my swings ninja style!

I couldn't help but include this photo... she's so cute.

Bye Bye from Ciara

Bye Bye from Kerry

And... coming up next... starting this Saturday, I'll be teaching my first workshop! Stay tuned!
