Sunday Feb. 3rd. What is Permaculture, by Kurt Yandell.

Kurt Yandell, formerly of Duwamish Co-Housing, will give us a brief introduction to the history, ethics and principles of permaculture. Now a world-wide movement, it can be thought of as an attempt to recreate sustainable systems, in part by mimicking the durable ecosystems we find in nature.  Permaculture provides one pathway to reverse the massive environmental harm humans have inflicted on our planet.

January 27, 9:15am. Growing Vets: Finding New Life in Green Fields

Michael Frazier of Growing Vets will join us this Sunday to share how the program offers opportunities for vets to rejoin civilian life, as well as to heal from PTSD by rebuilding camaraderie and community, sharing peer support, reconnecting with the earth through growing food and selling it at farmers’ markets, gaining experience in managing all aspects of a business, and offering educational projects.

Michael Frazier is a Marine Corps vet with 20 years of organizational leadership and development experience in both public and private sectors.
