SUMMARY:Social Permaculture & Community Building Weekend || WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Social Permaculture & Community Building \nWeekend Workshop at Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm \nFriday\, January 12 – Sunday\, January 14\, 2018\nTaught by Ryan Rising\, Swami Jnaneswariananda\, Colin Eldridge (Krishna Das)\nAs 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). \nPermaculture 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.  \nThis 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.   \nWe’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. \nRead more and register here. \nSchedule\nFriday \nFriday Afternoon: Registration and Arrival\n6:00pm Dinner\n7:00pm Orientation welcome\n8:00pm Satsang: guided silent meditation\, chanting and lecture \nSaturday \n06:00am Morning Satsang\n08:00am Yoga class\n10:00am Brunch\n11:00am Workshop: Intro/Refresher on Permaculture Design\, Ethics\, Principles\, Framework\n12:00pm Workshop: Applying the Permaculture Principles to People & Communities\n01:00pm Break\n01:30pm Workshop: Asset Mapping Activity\n02:00pm Workshop: Alternative Economies\n02:30pm Workshop: Collaborative Group Dynamics\, Power & Decision Making\n4:00pm Yoga Class\n6:00pm Dinner\n8:00pm Evening Satsang \nSunday \n06:00am Morning Satsang\n08:00am Yoga Class\n10:00am Brunch\n11:00am Karma Yoga\n12:00pm Workshop: The Yoga of Social Permaculture \n01:00pm – 02:00pm Workshop: Building Spiritual Community \nRead more and register on Sivananda Yoga Farm’s website.  \n  \n

After a decade of local organizing around direct action\, food justice\, ecological design and community space\, Ryan organized the Permaculture Action Tour for music producer The Polish Ambassador in the fall of 2014. The tour visited 32 cities across the country\, holding a Permaculture Action Day in each one and bringing together up to 400 people at a time to implement projects including public food forests\, edible gardens\, natural buildings\, urban farms\, and greenhouses. The tour was so effective in moving thousands of people into regenerative work and movement building for the just transition that an organization of local chapters throughout multiple bioregions\, the Permaculture Action Network\, arose from it. \nRyan focuses on creating community access to land for local food growing and regenerative living—connecting people to take direct action and transition to a resilient way of life; and social permaculture—the ways we make decisions\, build resilience\, resolve conflicts\, and organize in community. \nRyan has taught numerous courses and workshops\, including the Elemental Alchemy Permaculture Intensive before Symbiosis Gathering in 2013\, 2015\, and 2016\, Permaculture Design Courses across California and Tennessee\, a month-long Gaia Education certified Eco-Village Design training in Nicaragua\, and numerous Permaculture Action Courses and workshops. Ryan also sometimes guest teaches at University of San Francisco\, San Francisco State\, and Laney College. A certified permaculture designer with a degree in Peace and Social Justice Studies\, he also co-founded a regenerative\, productive urban farm in the East Bay and the Omni Commons—a community space and education center in Oakland\, CA. For more information on Ryan’s work\, see the Permaculture Action Network website. \nAvery Ellis\, Ecological Designer & Aquaponics Specialist\nAvery Ellis\, owner of Colorado Greywater\, is a sustainability specialist and ecological designer. He has a Masters degree in Ecological Design through SFIA and a BS in Biology & Sustainability through Stockton College. He is also a Certified Permaculture Designer and Teacher and a Certified Greywater Installer. Having spent many years pursuing his passion for sustainability\, he now focuses on designing ecosystems that serve humanity by mimicking natural processes. \nHis passion for Sustainable systems became a life direction after a semester abroad\, where he undertook an in-depth study of sustainability at an International Eco-village in Auroville\, India. In this intensive course\, he explored permaculture design\, renewable energy systems\, grey water treatment\, organic food production\, and sustainable building methods. Upon completion of his Bachelor of Science degree\, he continued to explore various aspects of sustainability while gaining experience in the field. He worked at an organic farm harvesting culinary herbs\, he spent a year as a solar installation specialist\, and he was a supervisor for a recycling company\, intent on net zero waste. \nWith all of these skills adding up to a cumulative understanding of sustainability\, he decided to continue his education at the San Francisco Institute of Architecture\, where he enrolled in a Masters of Ecological Design program. This course has been instrumental in his knowledge of sustainable and regenerative design. As a thesis\, he designed and built a small scale aquaponics system for his home\, as a model for home-scale food production. This system\, along with others he has designed and built\, produce organic vegetables and fish year round. As the field of aquaponics develops\, he invites each new system as a design challenge and as a sustainable solution for humanity. \nPatrick Padden\nPatrick Padden\, a graduate of Colorado State University\, studied natural systems building design in Namibia and urban food forest implementation in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, in 2007. In 2008\, Patrick obtained his permaculture teacher’s certificate from Sandy Cruz and Becky Elder of the Permaculture Institute. Patrick received his design certificate from the International Permaculture Design Course in Harare\, Zimbabwe\, and attended the International Permaculture Convergence in Malawi in 2009.\nPatrick is a practicing permaculturalist and permaculture educator and leads the Permaculture Design Certification Course. \nAlexa Levy\nAlexa Levy is an educator\, public school teacher\, permaculturist\, organizer\, and an artist. In various positions\, she has dedicated her life to working with underprivileged youth as a facilitator of learning\, offering them tools to becoming their best self. She started a Permaculture program at a Middle School in Oakland\, where together she and her students learn about growing food\, creating regenerative systems\, art\, current events\, social justice\, and practice restorative justice. She has been exploring alternative avenues of education in search of piecing together an “Educational Utopia” where justice and compassion are at the forefront. \nShe has taught in over seventy public schools\, knowing thousands of children by name in New York City\, and Oakland\, California. Alexa is a core member of the Permaculture Action Network\, a non-profit organization that mobilizes audiences from cultural events to take direct action at Permaculture Action Days\, as well as host courses and create educational hubs at events. She has been a part of creating the organizational development and structure\, as well as organizing Permaculture Action Days\, facilitating youth workshops\, and offering workshops in Permaculture Action Hubs at festivals. \nStone Hunter\nStone Hunter is a biodynamic farming practitioner and consultant at Sustainable Settings Ranch in Carbondale\, Colorado. Born and raised at Sunrise Ranch\, Stone attended River Song Waldorf School and later graduated from the International Baccalaureate program in Fort Collins\, Colorado. After attending Evergreen State College and working on permaculture-based projects in Costa Rica and Panama\, he began farming in 2013 at Happy Heart Farm in Fort Collins. \nIn 2015\, Stone began working at Sustainable Settings\, where he completed a two-year North American Biodynamic Apprenticeship Program training with experience in dairy cattle operations\, holistic grazing\, grain cultivation\, draft horse implementation\, stone masonry\, CSA gardening\, green construction\, natural beekeeping and more.

SUMMARY:Sonic Bloom Permaculture Action Day 2017
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 15th ~ 10:30am-4pm\nDistrict ONE Farm\, Fiesta Park @ Russell St.\, Walsenburg\, CO \nJoin us on the opening day of SONIC BLOOM 2017 just before going through the gates for a Permaculture Action Day in the local community of Walsenburg. These festive convergences give us an incredible opportunity to connect\, learn\, and build together; and taking action in the local community where we’ll spend four days with one another gives us the chance to literally build the infrastructure of the better world we’re stepping into. \nDistrict ONE operates two community farms in Walsenburg that aim to grow and provide organic food to a farm-to-table\, pay-what-you-can restaurant in the downtown strip\, as well as to the local school cafeterias and directly to the people inhabiting the area. Huerfano County is both the second poorest county in the state as well as that with the worst food nutrition on record. We know that when we take agency over our own lives and regenerate the ecology around us\, we can provide an abundance of nutrient-rich food\, medicine\, building materials\, water\, and more for ourselves and our communities. \nProjects:\n– Build Garden and Farm Beds to Plant with Food \n– Install Drip Irrigation System\n– Make and Spread Compost Tea\n– Build a Simple Compost System\n– Paint Murals\n– Add Additional Rainwater Storage Tank \nWe’ll have food\, music\, workshops\, and conversation to share.

SUMMARY:Sonic Bloom Academy: Permaculture Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a three day Permaculture Action Course and Permaculture Action Day before Sonic Bloom Festival in Colorado this year\, the Sonic Bloom Permaculture Academy. \nJune 11-14\, Sonic Bloom Festival will be hosting their pre-festival Academy on the festival site\, the beautiful Hummingbird Ranch. Take a deep dive into permaculture design\, skills for ecological regeneration\, and the how to’s of organizing in community with skilled and experienced facilitators and like minds.  Get the details here. \nThe Permaculture Series\nPermaculture comes from the terms “permanent agriculture\,” or more broadly\, “permanent culture\,” and encompasses a design process by which humans can create relationships of mutual benefit with the natural world and with each other that provide for an abundance of human needs.  The tools and technologies of permaculture exhibit how humans can move away from an extractive\, exploitative paradigm with the earth and one another\, and towards systems of symbiosis\, ecological regeneration\, and community. \nGet your hands dirty.\n\nLearn the permaculture design process and ecological design principles.\nGain hands-on skills to directly transform the world around you.\nRelate to the earth symbiotically to create and gather your food\, shelter\, water and energy.\nGet training in community building and action planning for a better world.\nDig into practical tools for ecological regeneration with experienced practitioners.\n\n$366          *Enroll Here*\nAcademy students can look forward to a whole lot of perks with your admission fee including…\n\n21 class hours of world class educational experience\nConnections with like minded people\n2 healthy\, organic meals per day (brunch and dinner)\nBe the first people on site\nFirst priority shaded and creekside camping\n\nGet the details and sign up:   http://sonicbloomfestival.com/academy/permaculture/\nFacilitators\nLead facilitators for the full academy: Ryan Rising\, Kendra Krueger\, and Mike Wird (bios below)\nSpecial Guest Teachers include: Soils and composting experts Shelby Kaminski and Ryan Bruno\, permaculture landscaping business entrepreneur Erin Anderson\, and the Front Range BioRegional Crew of Permaculture Action Network \nRyan 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 space\, Ryan organized the Permaculture Action Tour for music producer The Polish Ambassador in the fall of 2014. The tour visited 32 cities across the country\, holding a Permaculture Action Day in each one and bringing together up to 400 people at a time to implement projects including public food forests\, edible gardens\, natural buildings\, urban farms\, and greenhouses. The tour was so effective in moving thousands of people into regenerative work and movement building for the just transition that an organization of local chapters throughout multiple bioregions\, the Permaculture Action Network\, arose from it.  \n\nRyan focuses on creating community access to land for local food growing and regenerative living—connecting people to take direct action and transition to a resilient way of life; and social permaculture—the ways we make decisions\, build resilience\, resolve conflicts\, and organize in community. \nRyan has taught numerous courses and workshops\, including the Elemental Alchemy Permaculture Intensive before Symbiosis Gathering in 2013\, 2015\, and 2016\, Permaculture Design Courses across California and Tennessee\, a month-long Gaia Education certified Eco-Village Design training in Nicaragua\, and numerous Permaculture Action Courses and workshops. Ryan also sometimes guest teaches at University of San Francisco\, San Francisco State\, and Laney College. A certified permaculture designer with a degree in Peace and Social Justice Studies\, he also co-founded a regenerative\, productive urban farm in the East Bay and the Omni Commons—a community space and education center in Oakland\, CA.   \n  \nKendra Krueger is a scientist and community organizer who teaches how to use science as a tool for personal liberation and discovery. She uses techniques and concepts of social justice\, permaculture\, theater and movement to facilitate processes of inquiry\, discernment and design. In addition to leading scientific liberation workshops in the community and around the country\, she helps to run the Denver Permaculture Guild\, an eco-social justice community organization and is an adjunct professor at Naropa University\, a liberal arts buddhist college. She has worked and studied as an electrical engineer (BS Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, MS University of Colorado Boulder) and has experience in community radio production\, journalism\, theater\, dance and music. She is originally from New York City’s Lower East Side and currently lives in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver\, Colorado. You can follow her work on facebook at 4Love+Science or on her website www.4loveandscience.com \n  \nMichael White aka Mike Wird is an advanced permaculture designer/consultant\, artist\, educator\, business owner\, and natural builder who shares his dedication to social and environmental justice through cultural arts and regenerative practices.  Mike has been actively building community for over 15 years as a cultural arts ambassador\, raising awareness about social\, financial\, and ecological issues and their solutions in our environments. Mike is Co-Founder of Regenerative Lifestyles LLC\, an education firm offering services and opportunities based around integrated living systems\, as well as the Center for Regenerative Living\, which aims to bring regenerative lifestyle practices to the urban core.

The course was informational about the ethics of stewardship and how we can reclaim our role as conscious co-creators.” \n\n  –  Sunshine Rose\, Sonic Bloom Permaculture Academy 2016 participant\n\n“I want to express some really deep rooted gratitude for the Sonic Bloom Permaculture Academy. Since completing the course\, the food forest I manage is going through it’s final round of design and trees are finally going in the ground\, I’m building bridges for the movement\, I started a permaculture design business\, and I’m being approached by so many businesses and families in my area asking to help them transition from traditional landscaping to edible and medicinal landscapes. I’ve done zero marketing—every single job I’ve taken has been word of mouth and I have more opportunities to do permaculture than I can in good conscience take on\, which has led to this big personal discussion about sustainable business models and creating meaningful employment for my permie friends. I cannot begin to express how very blessed I feel to be a part of such a movement. I’ve been feeling an overwhelming desire to reach out and thank the academy facilitators and other permaculture warriors who have helped elevate me to where I am now. Permaculture Action Days were such a catalyst for so much good in my life and I just want to say thank you.”  \n\n  –  Erin Anderson\, Sonic Bloom Permaculture Academy 2016 participant \n\n“The Permaculture Action Network and Academy taps into that mystical festival magic that we are all searching for at these events and brings bits of that magic back to reality when we leave. Action days create excitement within communities that host events like Sonic Bloom by fostering connections between the festival goers and the locals\, and providing real life opportunities to heal ourselves by healing the earth.”  \n        –   2016 Permaculture Academy participant \n  \nRegister Here and join us June 11th-15h at Hummingbird Ranch\n\nThe Permaculture Academy will end with a Permaculture Action Day that everyone is welcome to participate in\, regardless of whether you are attending the academy or even the festival\, on Thursday\, June 15th in the town of Walsenburg.

SUMMARY:Intro to Permaculture w/ Ryan Rising @ SF Flower Show
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Rising of the Permaculture Action Network will be presenting a short Intro to Permaculture workshop on the Homesteading Stage at the SF Flower and Garden show on Wednesday\, April 5th at 10:45am.  The full show runs from April 5th through 9th at the San Mateo Event Center.   \nPermaculture design elaborates upon those same gems of wisdom that gardeners learn over time and practice\, that to truly create beauty and abundant yields we must base our practice within an ecological web of relationships.  Learning to design from the constraints and opportunities of each unique landscape\, bioregion\, and climatic zone gives us insight into not only how to design our gardens\, urban farms\, and food forests\, but how we can redesign our relationships to the earth and to one another in a way that is both just and regenerative.  Come learn more at this Intro to Permaculture workshop. \nAbout the Facilitator \n \nRyan Rising is a community organizer and permaculture educator based out of the Bay Area.  Ryan co-founded the Permaculture Action Network and has worked with festivals and artists like Rising Appalachia to mobilize concert-goers and festival attendees to install permaculture systems and create community spaces that move us further on the transition to a just and regenerative world.   \nPermaculture Action Days have brought out hundreds of people at a time after cultural events to plant public food forests\, build urban farms and  gardens\, install rainwater catchment systems\, and construct greenhouses and earthen buildings. Learn more at PermacultureAction.org \n  \nGet tickets at this link to support Permaculture Action Network (a small portion of your ticket sale will go to our organization).

SUMMARY:Keynote Case Study Presentation at Burning Man Global Leadership Conference
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Rising of Permaculture Action Network will present Friday’s Keynote Case Study Presentation on this past summer’s Permaculture Action Day on the Road to Burning Man at this year’s Burning Man Global Leadership Conference.\nThe presentation will take place during the Friday afternoon plenary session at 2pm at Oakland Marriot City Center and will be followed by a Sustainability Panel Discussion that Ryan will also be participating in at 4pm.  The entire Global Leadership Conference will happen from March 30th through April 2nd and is an invite only event.\n\nBeyond Black Rock City: How to Mobilize and Take Action\nHow can we mobilize people from burns\, festivals\, and other events like Burning Man to take action in their own communities at home?  This past year\, the first ‘Permaculture Action Day on the Road to Burning Man’ brought out 200 burners in Los Angeles to Kiss The Ground\, a community demonstration garden focused on the power of soil to sequester carbon.  Burners built composting systems\, planted fruit trees\, and constructed a butterfly and pollinator garden while enjoying live music\, food\, celebration and community.  Come hear about this pilot action day\, and how the Permaculture Action Network has organized 62 Permaculture Action Days across the continent in 51 different cities\, mobilizing people from shows\, concerts\, and festivals to build regenerative community spaces such as urban farms\, community gardens\, public food forests\, indigenous culture centers\, art spaces\, and seed farms.  \n\nHow can we create the liberatory world we experience at the burn all the time?  We’ll discuss how we’ve brought the sense of collectivity and deep community that we find at these events out into the city and onto the land through having partnered with 12 different music artists and festivals to mobilize more than 9\,430 people to take action hand-in-hand with more than 80 different local projects and organizations.  \n\nWe’ll be discussing how these action days are organized in an open-source way that will equip folks with an understanding of how to mobilize people before and after events to take community action regionally.  Let’s build the world we want to see!  \n

SUMMARY:Intro to Permaculture & Taking Action Locally
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Permaculture & Taking Action Locally\nwith Ryan Rising of Permaculture Action Network \nPermaculture 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. \nThrough the ways we grow our food\, access water\, build shelter\, tend to ecology\, craft medicines and make decisions together we can 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 conversations on how we can take action locally. Learn to embrace a hands-on approach to taking action for a more just and regenerative world and more agency over our lives. \nAbout the Facilitator\nRyan Rising is a community organizer and permaculture educator based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. After organizing Pushing Through the Pavement: a Permaculture Action Tour with The Polish Ambassador in the Fall of 2014\, Ryan co-founded the Permaculture Action Network and has worked with festivals and artists like Burning Man and Rising Appalachia to mobilize concert-goers and festival attendees to install permaculture systems and create community spaces that move us further on the transition to a just and regenerative world. \nPermaculture Action Days have brought out hundreds of people at a time after concerts and before music festivals to plant public food forests\, build urban farms and community gardens\, install rainwater catchment systems\, and construct greenhouses and earthen buildings. Having organized more than 62 Permaculture Action Days across the continent\, Ryan works at the edge of culture and ecological justice to catalyze the growth of a broad and diverse network taking action to build a better world. Visit the organization’s website at www.PermacultureAction.org \nLogistics\nThe workshop will go from 2pm until 4pm at The Center\, SF @ 548 Fillmore Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94117.\nSuggested donation $20. No one turned away for lack of funds! Proceeds will go to support the work of the Permaculture Action Network. \nGet your tickets here:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/intro-to-permaculture-taking-action-locally-with-ryan-rising-tickets-31134430921?aff=efbevent \nFacebook Event Page (invite your friends!):  https://www.facebook.com/events/406259033044488/
