WORKSHOPS (2pm-6pm)

Penny Livingston, Regenerative Design Institute
"The Promise of Permaculture: How Permaculture is participating in community resiliency."

Penny Livingston has been traveling and teaching permaculture on many parts of this beautiful Earth.

Permaculture is proving to be a unifying movement that is aiding in re-weaving our cultural fabric and knitting fractured relationships back together again. The permaculture movement is comprised of people who share the values of giving back to the Earth more than what we take. We aim to live in a humble, peaceful and co-beneficial existence with all of creation. Humanity has accomplished this in the past and the tools for moving into a positive future for our grandchildren's grandchildren are available to us. We recognize that it is time to rewrite the story that will serve our future generations. Permaculture and Regenerative/Ecological Living is at the heart of this story. Penny will share stories of her travels and of the visions of diverse communities and cultures near and far, as well as, her vision for the future.
