Dear Permaculture Friends,

It is only days (7/2-7/4)until the start of our (Northeast US + Eastern Canada) community’s annual summer gathering, the Northeast Permaculture Convergence!

Early registration pricing will be ending on June 24th – so this is your last chance to register at the lowest prices! After that you’ll pay a bit more. This is, of course, an all-volunteer organized event and your early registrations give us the best chance of putting on a great event for you! Thank you so much for you help on that…

Top 10 Reasons (Among Many!) to Come to the 6th Annual Northeast Permaculture Convergence

1. More than 40 sessions covering everything from keyline design, perennial polyculture design and coppicing through top bar beekeeping, ancient grains, cob oven building and geomancy!

2. Delicious meals prepared by Local Sprouts Cooperative with fresh, local and organic ingredients (and the stupendous help of Convergence volunteers, of course!)http://northeastconvergence.wordpress.com/schedule/food/

3. Dedicated YouthZone with activities for teens and little ones, too.

4. Morning yoga at 7:00 am each day and a Mandala-building starting on Saturday morning.

5. The incredible drumming of Inanna: Sisters in Rhythm on Saturday night, followed by a contra dance so you can boogie all that energy off.

6. Three field trip tracks to choose from including Teltane Farm, Newforest Institute, Avena Botanicals, Humustacia Permaculture Gardens, Four Seasons Farm, The Nearings’ Homestead, and more.

7. An opportunity to meet, learn from and share ideas with the leading members of the permaculture community in our region.

8. The Agorá barter/marketplace where you can lay out a blanket or table and informally trade your wares! Bring on the jam, jewelry and jerusalem artichoke tubers:)
