2022 Retreat Recap

11/13/2022

In October we held a wonderful community retreat in Sequim WA. Fusion dancing in the forest, planning the future of this organization, hearing about Permaculturalists Emergence Preparedness and plans for 2023 gatherings in SW Washington next fall. We toured Shaelee's farm, cooked, camped and circled together. We had an online Zoom to stream our live circle to for some of it, with interactions between both live and online circles. Thank You David Ahlgren for being Zoom host. We hope to see the recorded circles and presentations on our YouTube channel soon.

Thank you soooo much!

Thank you for the blog and for emailing me. I have been looking to connect with other permaculturists in my area (PNW). Wanted to let you know that your links aren't functioning. I would enjoy seeing the images and video's of your retreat.

I live in Alvadore, just outside of Eugene. I had been watching a lot of youtube videos about vegan lifestyle and that led me to a better understanding of the importance of nurturing the soil. I've had a life long interest in biology, and psychology. I've tried to do some gardening in my yard but have had limited success as the ground is so hard to dig!!! I've always recycled but never could get the hang of composting, still struggling with it. I am excited about making a "food forest" in my yard. I have been mostly looking at permaculture videos from the UK, as their climate is similar to ours and Canada because I figure if they can grow something there, surely it would grow here in Oregon. I would love to participate in your 2023 gathering and to connect with locals with same interests. Best Regards, Dana
