This is a way to connect and celebrate the work of the Bloomington Permaculture Guild

Dec 4, 2012

How are you currently involved in Transition to a post-petroleum lifestlyle?: I served on the Transition Initiating Group. Now I am on the community currency and waste/compost working groups--and I propagate permaculture through speaking and educational engagement.

How do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?: I like to live a comfortable life with a sense of abundance. I'd like for my children to have the possibility of a good life, too.

I'm drawn to community process and visioning. I know that our community can become even more vibrant and wonderful than it already is.

There is a lot of work to be done to make that happen and Transition is the best process/model I've seen for doing that.

How can you help the growth / acceptance / vitality of local Transition efforts? What can YOU teach us? What can your Group teach us?: Well, I'm really interested in teaching permaculture and getting people to practice it. I have a lot of organizing and networking experience, technical experience, and vision. These are all things that might be useful.

I'm interested in the permaculture design course - but I think I've missed a bunch of it already.....unless it's one weekend at a time??? I just looked at the dates and it confused me. Please let me know when there is another weekend class, thanks! Doris Brinegar

This is my second year trying to sprout an urban garden w/less than a shoestring & the response from the gardeneering community is still very meager. No better opportunity to show what can be accomplished by perma practies & collective effort could be found. Please FWD/distribute the following mssg thru perma lists & such, so I'm not digging holes in the City Hall lawn this weekend for soil.

*OMgarten Urban Community Raingarten on the B-Line rail-to-trail needs your involvement!

~Ground UnBreaking will begin Weekend of Mothers' Day, May 7th thru May 9th
