The Gathering is one of the most hopeful and relevent events,,,
It is two and a half days of learning skills, connecting with kindred spirits, having fun and building New Culture.
The setting is Dharmalaya Center, a wonderful place for social change. The 3/4 acre site is part way through an ambitious permaculture site plan with a small pond, grey water system, beautiful straw bale structure, solar bath house, gardens and much more.
Within blocks are 3 other permaculture conversion projects. Two just beginning and another in “midlife”, started 6 years ago. Tours will be made to these places and other conversion sites within a 10 minute bike ride.
The Gathering includes plenary sessions, panels, presentations, workshops. There is great vegetarian food, kid program, positive vibrations!
Cost will be $50 for programs and meals. Accomodations will include on site dorm and camping for $10 per night. For on site arrangements, call 541 344 0553 or e mail. There are several nearby properties that will offer camping and indoor sleeping, some for modest cost, other for free. Work trade available. For more info for off site accomodation and to volunteer/work trade E mail or call 541 686 6761.
