Event Description

Once we start doing, we will know how to proceed.

- Bill Mollison

Join a group of conscious learners in a free introduction to permaculture day in the Heart Gardens, Gumboot Gardens, Elphinstone Rainforest and Mandala Beach of Roberts Creek. Pilgrimage in carpools to the Sunshine Coast, a short ferry ride from Vancouver, to experience an unique and creative introduction to the permaculture paradigm.

together we will :

talk about the ethos, principles,
toolkit and metastructure of permaculture,
tour the gardens,
meet some of the food-medicine plants of the Coastal First Peoples,
share a potluck meal,
watch some permaculture movies,
walk in the rainforest,
meet by the ocean,
and have an inspiring day learning and growing with nature.

The day will run from 11 am - 5:30 pm on July 22, aligning with the bus linked to the 9:20 am ferry from Horseshoe Bay and the 6:30 ferry returning to Vancouver. I will help to co-ordinate a carpool as well.

There is a limited space so please RSVP to confirm your attendance to [email protected].
Since its a free course, i am trusting that if you ask for a space you will make a commitment to following through and attending the day :) The spring weather varies, please come dressed to be outside for short periods regardless of weather (dress warm and with rainproof gear or umbrella if you are worried about rain).

Looking forward to a day of wonderful people connecting and sharing about how to be more conscious planetary citizens.

Comment by Joy Jolie on July 23, 2013 at 9:11am: Delvin, this was a wonderful experience which opened my eyes and expanded my knowledge of permaculture in ways I didn't expect. Being out in the Elphinstone Forest had a huge impact and was the highlight of the day. I intend to do that a lot more now that I'm here. Will be seeing you again soon! Thanks for a great day!

Comment by Autumn Friesen on July 20, 2013 at 8:22am: I'm very sorry, but I found out I have to work on Monday. I would be very interested in attending this workshop in the future, please keep me posted. My apologies for the last minute notice, I'm very disappointed I can't go. (not sure how to "unattend" the event)

Comment by Joy Jolie on July 18, 2013 at 9:25am: This looks amazing! I'd be interested in carpooling, but I live in Vancouver. Will there be anyone attending from here? I can share costs. Thanks in advance!
