Permaculture design class with Graham Burnett to be offered

From Darren Butler:

Permaculture Design Course with Graham Burnett (August 2 - 15, 2008)

Join lead instructor Graham Burnett (www.grahamburnett.net), who is traveling from England to teach the course, Scott Horton (editor of Permaculture Activist Magazine, www.permacultureactivist.net), William Faith (cofounder of Ars Terra, www.arsterra.org), and Darren Butler (www.EcoWorkshops.com) for what promises to be a life-changing, mind-opening two-week intensive Permaculture Design Course at Animal Acres in Acton, California, from Aug 2 through 15, 2008 (talent show may occur on Aug 17).

In my opinion, this is likely to be the sustainability/ecological-design educational event of the year in LA County. We also plan to have fun. A huge variety of permaculture topics will be covered. The varied expertise of the instructors ensures that even those already proficient with permaculture will be exposed ideas, techniques, perspectives, and information new to them.

I'm currently scheduled to teach four sessions but hope to arrange to attend most of the course to be available frequently for questions, networking, and discussion.

The cost is only $700 for the entire two-week course, far less than the average cost of such a course, and this includes onsite vegan meals. An advance-registration discount of $100 is available if payment in full is completed by July 1, dropping the price to an almost unbelievable $600. Onsite camping is available for an additional $100.

The course is organized by and offered through Ars Terra. See more info at http://www.arsterra.org/news.html . Also at this link is an explanation of what permaculture is. Email William Faith at info@arsterra.org or call (661) 273-9448 to sign up, and please let him know that I referred you. Darren Butler is unable to answer most questions about the course, and unable to sign people up.

Please forward this announcement to at least one other person who might be interested.

I hope to see you there!

Best, Darren Butler
