West Coast Women's Permaculture Gathering Sept 20-23 in Oregon
LBUZ...@aol.com
The (U.S.) West Coast Women's Permaculture Group get-together will happen Sept 20-23 near Ashland, Oregon, USA.
I find it thought-provoking that at least some permaculture women feel the need (1) to meet separately from men in permaculture and (2) to include spiritual ritual and ceremony plus discussion of women's leadership in their meeting.
More info and links below for anyone interested in participating...
