Sonic Bloom Action Day at Aztlan Cultural Center
2022-06-16 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Denver) | Aztlan Cultural Center, 7102 CR 620, Gardner, CO, 81040, United States
You are invited to come to the action day before Sonic Bloom sets off on Thursday, June 16th!
DRIVING DIRECTIONS UPDATED AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
Follow for updates on the facebook event page!
This year’s Permaculture Action Day will be at Aztlan Cultural Center, Sonic Bloom’s neighbor and an indigenous cultural center and site of weekly free ceremonies and the Sun Dance. Aztlan is Apache and Aztec, indigenous held land, and welcomes all people to its ceremony.
As we dance and connect in our own special way, we invite you to stand in solidarity with our indigenous neighbors who are holding their own connection to the land, spirit, and each other.
This action day will focus on:

harvesting willow to make a sweat lodge frame
harvesting tepee poles from the forest and the land
roofing the ceremonial arbor for the Sun Dance

as well as:

applying compost tea and natural fertilizers
inoculating mushroom logs for edible Oyster cultivation
clearing the forest and gathering ceremony wood
cleaning and tending to the land and trash removal
repairing the roof and walls of the medicine hut
organizing and bear proofing the community kitchen
restoring the creek from blockages and debris

If we are able to collect the resources, we are also trying to:

building a bath house or other water systems on site
refurbishing the greenhouse and fundraising a well

This action day is an extension of our past years’ work at the region’s high school, community gardens, and community centers, and is an attempt at creating greater food sovereignty in the region while supporting our indigenous neighbors in fostering greater connectivity to the land. Projects are aimed at ecosystem restoration and creating a more sustainable life in Huerfano.
In addition to the hands-on projects listed above we will host a number of workshops at the action day, accompanied by musical performances and a community meal for our attendees.
Attending the action day is free, as always. We’re grateful for your presence and solidarity.
Feel concerned about getting a spot to camp?
We understand those attending the action day on Thursday risk getting into the festival later than others. We have you covered!   Get in touch at @PermacultureAction on instagram or email SonicBloomAction@gmail.com and we’ll work to ensure you a camping space and swift entry.
Music by Bloomurian, Mike Wird, Ryan Sorrell, Phazer & More

DRIVING DIRECTIONS
From the 25 take Exit 56. Exit 56 takes you onto Red Rock Road/610. Follow this until it dead ends. At the dead end, turn right onto 69.
Take the 69 more than 10 miles until you see the turn for CR 620 marked by a green road sign and make a right onto the 620. (There’s a patch of ground as you come off the 69 that is a great place to park and carpool into the action day site if you want to squad up.)
When you see a cemetery, stay left. Keep straight (do not turn when you see the CR 623 sign at the triangle. You’re continuing forward there and to the right of the triangle.)
Less than a quarter mile past the cemetery you will see a gate; turn left through the Lazy S Ranch signed gate.
Go past the Lazy S Ranch, passing with it on your right until you see a church on your left. Shortly after the church you will see a red truck. Make that next right – you will see action day signs with arrows from there.

GrowGood has been working in partnership with The Salvation Army since 2011 to transform and maintain a 1.5-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Bell Homeless Shelter into an urban farm. The Bell Shelter is one of the largest houseless shelters west of the Mississippi, operating a comprehensive program that offers transitional care for up to 500 houseless people at a time including women and veterans.

GrowGood’s no-till, regenerative urban farm provides the Shelter’s kitchen with substantial quantities of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables as well as therapeutic activities and employment opportunities for residents.
This is a free, family-friendly day of action to build infrastructure and plant trees and other edible/beneficial species at GrowGood! Please feel free to bring tools, work gloves, and potluck items to share, but do not feel obligated! Bring a water bottle, and even reusable dishware if you’re able.

MUSIC
DJ Sets by Ernaste (EPHCTO) and Sky Society
Live performances by Whitney Lyman, Cappy Franti (son of Michael Franti), Aste Mari, and Nación Ekeko

Month of Events
This Fall 2019 Guayakí Yerba Mate heads to Los Angeles for the month of October. Their time will be spent producing music events, community gatherings, interactive art experiences, and action days – all focused on social and environmental work supporting the regenerative movement.
Together we will mobilize people from the Come To Life: Wisdome.LA event with musicians Tuxedo and Nacion Ekeko on Saturday, October 19th, to the Permaculture Action Day at GrowGood the day following the concert The Main Squeeze and Rising Appalachia will similarly sound the call to action at their shows in LA on Oct 12th and 15th.
*Directions to the farm:
Go south on the 5, exit 129 (Atlantic/Eastern). Turn left on Eastern Blvd. Then turn right onto Mansfield (you’ll pass Washington and Bandini and Rickenbacker avenues).
On Mansfield, pass straight through two stop signs and continue west. For reference, at the second stop sign, there is a new apartment complex on the left. The farm is just west of that also on the left. There is a fenced parking area and you can park there or anywhere on the street. If you pass a cluster of homes on the left, you have gone too far.
*The Farm is across the street from the Mansfield entrance to the Bell Shelter.

Permaculture Action Day at Clear Creek Community Food Forest
2019-06-29 10:00 - 18:00 UTC | Clear Creek SchoolHouse, 1882 Hammonds Fork Rd, Disputanta, KY, 40456, United States
Join us for a day full of live music, hands-on projects, workshops, skillshares and delicious local food!

We will be working/playing in a four year old food forest — bring tools, bring a food dish, come learn about the system, plant/eat some food and meet new people.

“We see this food forest as a pragmatic model that serves as a community learning/experimenting area while providing food, medicine and Abundance. This space is a working model for how other low-maintenance, long-visioning systems similar in nature could be communally designed and implemented. We see this space as a sanctuary for humans and wildlife. As we continue to work in this space, we develop relationships with the native plants, people and climate, creating a sense of home place. This is an open community space where we share labor, experiences and skills together which leads to resilience. Additionally, this land serves as a propagation resource for the community, where herbs, seeds and cultivars of trees can be propagated for future food-focused projects. This project serves as a community resource for food, medicine, spiritual growth, community involvement, learning, sharing of skills and access to land in an economically impoverished region.

– Written in 2015 as part of the design process –

Projects, workshops/skillshares and music TBD

Rolling potluck lunch starting at 1pm

This Permaculture Action Day is in partnership with Burners Without Borders and is made possible, in part, by a Southeastern Leadership Civic Ignition Grant.

Everyone is welcome to this free, family-friendly event.

You will receive a pass for expedited entry to the festival after the action day.
www.PermacultureAction.org
Contact@PermacultureAction.org

For the fifth year in a row we mobilize the energy of the SONIC BLOOM Festival community into the nearby town of Walsenburg where District O.N.E. is Organizing New Economy. “Local food is the first economy of any society.” – districtone.org
This year, we expand the District ONE project beyond its farms and pay-what-you-can farm-to-table restaurant to the BUS, inspired by the philosophy of contributionism – a collective gift-economy of stewarding common space and projects together.
The BUS – Building United Society – is a late 1800s school building being converted into a place where food and housing is provided in reciprocity for work on the District ONE Farms growing organic, nutrient-rich food for the community.
Over the last 4 years we’ve watched the farms grow with trees, greenhouses, edible perennials, composting systems, murals, rainwater catchment, medicinal herbs, earthworks, mushrooms, vegetables, and other useful plants. This year, join us to demonstrate that permaculture is not just about farms and gardens – it’s about housing, community, economy, energy, the built environment, and how we organize our lives in relationship to the ecosystems around us and one another.

About the Facilitators…
Joana Amorim, Leah Van Winkle, Michael Beck, and Ryan Rising are all organizers with the Permaculture Action Network, a collective that has mobilized over 12,000 people to days of action building permaculture sites, regenerative systems, and community spaces across the continent. Joana, Leah, and Michael all organize with the Mid-Appalachian BioRegional Crew and are located in the Berea, Kentucky area. Ryan organizes with the California BioRegional Crew of Permaculture Action Network and founded the organization in 2014. ​

Ryan Rising is a community organizer and permaculture educator based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, and co-founder of the Permaculture Action Network. After a decade of local organizing around direct action, food justice, ecological design, and community living, Ryan organized the Permaculture Action Tour with music producer The Polish Ambassador in the fall of 2014. Ryan has since co-organized over 80 Permaculture Action Days throughout 25 US states, bringing hundreds of people at a time to build greenhouses, rainwater catchment, gardens, and regenerative systems at 80 different local community projects including public food forests, urban farms, and ecovillages. Ryan co-founded the Gill Tract Community Farm, which produces tons of organic food annually distributed for free all around the Bay Area, and the Omni Commons, an urban commons and community center. Ryan focuses on creating community access to land for local food growing and regenerative living, connecting people to take direct action; and social permaculture—the ways we make decisions, build resilience, resolve conflicts, and organize in community. ​

Michael Beck joins Permaculture Action Network as a steward of land in Kentucky, natural builder, aspiring young farmer, and nature enthusiast. He is currently building an Appalachian-style log cabin with his partner and friend in Disputanta, Kentucky. Co-founder of international natural building network, thePOOSH.org, as well as the more recent Hands On Earth Permaculture, Michael has hosted and helped organize several Permaculture Action Days in Kentucky, Tennessee, California, and Illinois. Michael’s current passion in the permaculture world is food forestry and edible landscaping design. He has been involved in many build projects and led several natural building workshops over the last six years. He took his Permaculture Design Course in Portugal with Doug Crouch of Treeyo Permaculture. ​

Joana Amorim immigrated about three years ago from her home country, Portugal, to Kentucky where she is currently starting a farm and homestead and building a traditional log house. She is the co-founder of Hands On Earth Permaculture, focusing on natural building and food forestry. She is also a visual artist, natural builder, herbalist, gardener, chef, and acrobat. Joana took her Permaculture Design Course in Portugal with Doug Crouch of TreeYo Permaculture in 2012, a Social Permaculture Course in 2013, and a Permaculture Teachers Training with Robina Mccurdy in 2014. She has been involved in intentional communities and has led several hands-on classes during Permaculture Design Courses at Terra Alta Educational center in Portugal.

Leah Van Winkle makes her home in the Appalachian foothills of central Kentucky, where she grows food, teaches yoga, offers Thai Bodywork, plays, and explores! Rooted in land-based permaculture design, her passion is to expand this holistic lens to facilitate nurturing social relationships in her community. Health is Leah’s main focus, stemming from a belief that human health is interdependent on health of the land and harmony within the ecosystem we occupy. An avid student, she is always seeking more opportunities to expand her knowledge, having already trained with Starhawk and Pandora Thomas in Social Permaculture, Doug Crouch of TreeYo Permaculture, Susana Lein of Salamander Springs and Cliff Davis of Spiral Ridge. Her favorite things to grow are blueberries, holy basil, and mustard greens.

What you’ll get out of this course..​

Lead to Life & Permaculture Action Network invite you to the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust and Planting Justice Nursery in East Oakland for a Permaculture Action Day on Sunday, January 20th. This is a free, family-friendly event filled with ecologically regenerative hands-on projects, workshops & skill-shares, music, and a community meal. This is the sister event to this past April’s Lead to Life series in Atlanta, Georgia, where 50 guns were melted down into 50 shovels to plant 50 trees in honor of the 50 years since MLK’s assassination. We will use these shovels again this January 20th, 2019, to plant trees, install regenerative systems, and build ceremonial space.
The following day, Monday, January 21st, we ground this same process in Oakland where we will melt guns into shovels after the People’s March to Reclaim the Radical Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Sogorea Te’ is an urban, indigenous women-led organization that facilitates the return of Chochenyo and Karkin Ohlone land in the San Francisco Bay Area to indigenous stewardship. The Sogorea Te’ Land Trust site at Planting Justice’s East Oakland Nursery is the first piece of land put into the community land trust, and will be the site of the first ceremonial arbor built on Ohlone Land in 250 years.
Planting Justice facilitates permaculture designs and installations for homes around the Bay Area and regenerative educational programs, hires formerly incarcerated folks at a family-supporting wage, and now runs the largest organic fruit, nut, and berry nursery in California right out of a two-acre site in East Oakland.
Lead to Life is transforming weapons into shovels for tree planting ceremonies at sites that have been impacted by violence or carry spiritual significance. These guns, donated from the public and collected from police departments, are transformed by metalsmiths into shovels and tools that plant trees to memorialize loved ones, and lands, lost to violence.
This is Permaculture Action Network’s 92nd action day in which communities brought together through a cultural event are invited to direct their energy into hands-on projects that improve regenerative common spaces and bring forward a just and regenerative world.
For this occasion, our partners RAWtools & James Brenner have forged a reimagined arsenal of garden tools made from weapons. Folks from across the East Bay are coming together to use these ceremonial tools towards two revolutionary land regeneration projects on 105th Ave in East Oakland.
This day will be an act of beloved community and grassroots liberation as part of Oakland’s annual weekend to reclaim the radical legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.. To honor the vision of Dr. King, the work of people across Oakland, the significance of the Jewish tradition of Tu Bishvat, and the indigenous stewardship of these lands, we will work with our hands in the soil to decompose colonialism. We will live into a practice of land reparations, through supporting the return of Ohlone ancestral homelands.

This event is free and open to all!
Bring your friends and come prepared to learn new skills, build food-producing systems, and have a dirty, good time!!

This is our second PAD at this site, the first one last April 2017. The mission of the garden is to bring awareness to the need for growing healthy food and living healthier lives. It is a civic space where people share labor, nourish relationships, and connect to our shared natural environment.

Permaculture Action Hub @ Sonic Bloom Festival
2018-06-15 10:00 - 2018-06-17 18:30 UTC | Hummingbird Ranch, Spanish Peaks Country, CO, United States
Find the Permaculture Action Hub at Sonic Bloom Festival for three days of workshops, skill-shares, and discussions on regenerating ecological systems, community organizing, and building a more just and sustainable world.

Workshop Descriptions (Partial)
Logistics of Liberation: Permaculture and Power w/ Ryan Rising

What is it really going to take to liberate ourselves from the exploitative, extractive systems we are living within? How can we re-inhabit space, and see that re-inhabiting of space as one of the most revolutionary acts we can take? How can we interact with the material infrastructure of our world to collectively slow and stop the mechanisms of ecological devastation and human harm? Power is logistic.
Social Permaculture and Community Action w/ Ryan Rising

How can the lens of permaculture—the mimicking of nature’s patterns and principles—inform the way we design both the ecological systems of food, water, and shelter that give us life, and the social systems of how we make decisions, come together as people, and build resilient communities? How can we take effective action to create viable life-affirming alternatives to the extractive and exploitative systems that we seek to replace? Ryan Rising of the Permaculture Action Network will start this session with an introduction to permaculture design and lead into a conversation that takes its application beyond forest gardens, rainwater catchment systems, and natural building to how we can cultivate effective collaborative groups and communities capable of taking action towards realizing a more just and regenerative world. Ryan will also touch on the work of the Permaculture Action Network over the last four years of organizing over 84 Permaculture Action Days across the country after concerts and before music festivals where hundreds gather to directly implement regenerative systems in their communities. Step into this in-depth session on ecological design, regenerative living systems, how to take direct action for a just and sustainable world, forming healthy collaborative groups, and community organizing.
Intro to Biodynamics & Homeopathy w/ Stone Hunter
Study the Science of the Spirit and the Alchemy of Biodynamics. Learn about living architecture designing therapeutic homes, efforts being made to clean the waters, air and land through homeopathic potencies, and how we can work physically and spiritually to enliven ourselves and our communities.

Urban Permaculture: Whole Systems & Viable Farms w/ Keith Morris
Think you need a ‘farm’ to grow food? Think again! When it comes to ecological health and food production in today’s cities, there’s very little we might want to “sustain”. As urban populations continue to grow worldwide amidst the convergent crises of energy depletion, climate change, and economic ‘uncertainty,’ it’s critical we redesign our cities to provide for more of their residents’ needs. This workshop focuses on practical skills usable by urban communities to achieve greater local access to and control over life’s essential resources. The workshop will introduce simple and affordable techniques for soil building, bioremediation, rainwater harvesting, intensive food production, micro-livestock and aquaculture, small scale autonomous energy production, DIY air purification, and other infrastructure retrofits. We’ll look to existing urban farms, “urban homesteads,” and other examples of urban permaculture to explore the ways we can design and establish our homes and communities as ‘human ecosystems’ that are not only less fuel reliant, but also beautiful, productive, ecologically regenerative, and wholly nourishing.
Saturday, May 26

Decolonizing Agriculture & Participatory Ecology w/ Keith Morris
Permaculture is an evolving and expanding design system used to create agriculturally productive human habitat at scales varying from balconies to broad regions. As permaculture rapidly expands around the world, the field is constantly evolving and taking new directions. We’ll discuss the history of permaculture and ecological design as we look to the sciences of ecology, anthropology, and evolution for inspiration and guidance to establish our homes, gardens, and communities as ‘human ecosystems’ that are beautiful, productive, ecologically regenerative, less fuel reliant, and more wholly nourishing. What is the potential for human beings as ‘Keystone Species’? How have we acted as such through history? We’ll explore the ways human beings have ‘co-created’ ecological communities in the past, at present, and our potential to do so more insightfully in the future.

This will also be the beginning of Lead to Life’s 50 tree plantings throughout the weekend using shovels that will be caste from melted down guns at an alchemical ceremony in Atlanta just the night before.

Mena’s Farm is tended by Filomena Andrade, a mother of three, grandmother, and lifetime farmer who arrived in Atlanta in 2007. She moved to Bankhead from Cape Verde, West Africa. Her farm is a thriving paradise of plants she built by hand on a run-down street in the heart of Atlanta’s Bankhead neighborhood.

Bring your friends and come prepared to learn new skills, build food-producing systems, and have a dirty, good time. This event is FREE and all are welcome to attend! We’ll have community lunch and water available for everyone throughout the day, but please bring a potluck dish or beverage to contribute if you like! Don’t forget your reusable dishware too!

Music and workshops will be happening throughout the day. Raury invites you to Come To The Woods, members of Rising Appalachia Music will be swinging through, Mara Hruby is coming by sharing a few words on mental health, empathy, and kindness. Terrence is throwing down. We are blessed!

We will be graced by Abbey of Gangstas to Growers to ground us with a few words on Food Justice, Accountability, and Community. You all better get ready to get your mushroom on… William Padilla Brown will be teaching a workshop on Low-Tech Mushroom-Cultivation. You all ready?!

Projects will include:

planting fruit trees using shovels made from melted down weapons
roofing and mending the chicken coop
installing retaining walls
fixing the greenhouse
building raised garden beds
installing rainwater storage barrels and irrigation
weeding, mulching and more!

Social Permaculture & Community Building
Weekend Workshop at Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm
Friday, January 12 – Sunday, January 14, 2018
Taught by Ryan Rising, Swami Jnaneswariananda, Colin Eldridge (Krishna Das)
As part of Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm’s series of monthly permaculture weekends, Ryan Rising of Permaculture Action Network will be teaching sessions on social permaculture and community building alongside meditation, yoga, and further workshops taught by Swami Jnaneswariananda and Colin Eldridge (Krishna Das).
Permaculture lays out a path for how we can approach our world under the current socio-political and economic climate to re-integrate ourselves into the ecological web of life and cultivate relationships of mutual aid and reciprocity with one another. Sometimes the most direct way to challenge and alter the dominant systems that shape our lives is to directly approach how we create what we need and how we take care of one another.
This workshop will look beyond the ways we grow our food, access water, build shelter, and tend to ecology to see how permaculture can also guide us in relating with one another and building community as we reclaim our lives and translate personal healing into collective healing.
We’ll start with an introduction to permaculture design methods for reweaving ourselves into the natural world symbiotically, and move toward applying the principles of permaculture communities, relationships, and the social realm. We’ll explore how we make decisions together as well as methods for conflict resolution and restorative justice. We’ll also look at alternative economies, placemaking, and collaborative group dynamics for liberatory communities.

Seeds & Sounds Fest
2017-10-21 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | CO
Permaculture Action Network is happy to co-host the first SEEDS & SOUNDS FEST, presented by SacredHeart Water & Promise of Peace Gardens – Uniting Dallas/Fort Worth Artists, Musicians, Gardeners and other Community Organizations to Create a Sustainable Food Source.
Get connected on the Facebook event page here.
Dallas, Texas is one of the wealthiest cities in the United States. Yet, nearly 500,000 residents live in poverty. A large portion of Dallas is a food desert. A food desert is an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food. We would like to unite Dallas/Fort Worth artists, musicians, gardeners and other community organizations, to create a sustainable food source to provide fresh, healthy food for those of us in need.

The Plan: To create a permaculture-based, low maintenance, low-cost organic food source in Dallas, Texas. We will simultaneously have a live music event and enhance this garden in one day. The labor will be voluntarily provided by the concert-goers and the musicians.
Location: The Emanuel P.O.P. Community Garden – 4319 San Jacinto St. Dallas, TX 75204
Date: October 21, 2017 8AM-5PM
Cost: FREE
Outcome: Is a regenerative food and education resource within the Dallas community. Providing a location of nutrition, education, and awareness about our food sources and our community. Overall, increasing the well being of the community through nutrition, education and uniting as one to help the whole.
After The Event: Promise of Peace Community Gardens will be in charge of maintenance and food distribution as they have on going systems in place. This location will primarily supply the Emanuel Church Food Pantry Program that currently services about 65 families in Old East Dallas.
