Dear Friends,
Magic and Permaculture are both based on the understanding that all life is connected. Yet connecting with the people in our circles is often the hardest part. Co-creative and collaborative groups can be empowering and inspiring, but they face unique challenges. So often we come together full of enthusiasm, only to founder on the rocks of conflict and poor communication.
Join us for a Free Webinar on Social Permaculture: The Magic of Connection with Starhawk next Tuesday, Dec 18, 5 - 6:30 pm PST.
Drawing on insights from both permaculture and magic in her latest book, The Empowerment Manual, Starhawk will explore how the principles of ecological design apply to people care as well as gardens. When we learn to work together more skillfully, we can be even more effective agents of change.
Space is limited, so please register and arrive early to hold your spot.
