Webinar: Strategies for Local Organizing – May 15th 12-1 pm Eastern

Remember – Webinars are fee for PAN Members! Non-members can join or choose a sliding scale $50-10.

Permaculture is a design process, which we can use to design organizations, groups, and direct actions. Learn strategies for local organizing from three different organizations in our region: Resilience Hub (Portland, ME), Boston Food Forest Coalition (MA), and Rochester Permaculture Center (NY). We’ll also share some lessons learned to help shorten your learning curve. As always, we’ll have some Q&A time at the end.

Register here by 10 am on May 15th for access to the Live Webinar or anytime after for access to the webinar recording!

2017 PAN Winter Retreat Registration – Conversation on Standards

Educational-Ecosystem-Graphic-Final-V2

Permaculture is at a tipping point. Now that it has reached a critical mass of practitioners and has entered into many mainstream venues, conversations around standards, who is qualified to teach and certify, and what the process is to become a teacher are coming to a head. PAN has been convening teachers and organizers around this topic for the last three years.  We have been documenting the ecology of permaculture education, asking important questions and listening. Growing out of these conversations and other national and regional conversations we’d like to establish a set of voluntary, bottom up,  standards and run a pilot program for permaculture teachers and courses in 2017.  This topic will be our main focus at the Winter 2017 Retreat. We will come together to pro-actively create pilot standards from and that are informed by our network.  Your continued input and feedback are important in this process. We would love to have you in this conversation  – please join us at the Winter Retreat, February 25th at D Acres in Dorchester,  New Hampshire
