It looks good!
The International Workshop is being offered by some of the original founders of the Cuban movement including Dr. Nilda Perez, expert on ecological pest management. Dr. Fernando Funes, another founder of this movement is leading the tour, which also looks phenomenal and well organized. The tour is going to be in Artemesia where Finca Marta, a beautiful and well known agroecological farm resides. There are also opportunities to present papers on your work.
The amazing Vermont Carribean Institute (VCI) under the leadership of the equally amazing Dr. Margarita Fernandez, is facilitating registration and participation for US Citizens, so for more information click on the link below and connect with VCI directly. If you would like to register directly with the Cuban ACTAF team, write to eve...@actaf.co.cu. Let them know Maria Whittaker of the Kansas Chapter of Family Farm Defenders referred you!

"Smile, breathe and go slowly."
"I open my heart and send forth my energy of love and understanding to everyone who has made me suffer, to those who have destroyed much of my life and the lives of those I love. I know now that these people have themselves undergone a lot of suffering and that their hearts are overloaded with pain, anger and hatred. I know that anyone who suffers that much will make those around them suffer. I know they may have been unlucky, never having the chance to be cared for and loved. Life and society have dealt them so many hardships. They have been wronged and abused. They have not been guided in the path of mindful living. They have accumulated wrong perceptions about life, about me, and about us. They have wronged us and the people we love. I pray to my ancestors in my blood and spiritual families to channel to those persons who have made us suffer the energy of love and protection, so that their hearts will be able to receive the nectar of love and blossom like a flower. I pray that they can be transformed to experience the joy of living, so that they will not continue to make themselves and others suffer. I see their suffering and do not want to hold any feelings of hatred or anger in myself toward them. I do not want them to suffer. I channel my energy of love and understanding to them and ask all my ancestors to help them."
