Sonic Bloom Permaculture Action Day
June 16, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 6:00 pm
June 16th, before Sonic Bloom Festival begins, come to the Permaculture Action Day at District ONE Farm at John Mall High School in Walsenburg – https://www.facebook.com/events/230070644039546/
On your way to SONIC BLOOM 2016, Colorado, come to the local community farm to put down energy into a lasting regenerative space that will provide nutrient-rich, organic food to the people of Walsenburg, Colorado. The second poorest county with the worst nutrition on record in the state, Walsenburg is building an organic, community farm to create greater food access to the people.
SONIC BLOOM has found its home at Hummingbird Ranch 20 minutes away, and it’s time to create reciprocal relationships of soldiarity between us, the festival community, and the local communities that welcome us into their homes. Between the beginning of the permaculture design and implementation plan of Hummngbrid Ranch, and the creating of the nearby farm and community center in Walsenburg, we’re creating the interconnected, regenerative world we all have been talking about.
Join the Permaculture Action Network for a day of installing a rainwater harvesting and irrigation system, constructing low-tunnel greenhouses, installing a proper composting system, and building and planting raised beds.
As always, we’ll have a celeratory convergence of workshops, music, shared meals, and discussions on furthering the transition to a just and regenerative world, integrating our communities into the patterns of the natural world. And, as always, the Permaculture Action Day is absolutely FREE and everyone is welcome to attend – whether you are staying for the festival or not. This is about coming together as community to take action and start building the world we want to see.
Want to learn how to design through a permaculture framework? How to catch and store water in the soil through earthworks? How to design food forests and productive polycultures of plants that will produce year after year? How to design ecovillages and organize your own community and neighborhood?
Join us for the SONIC BLOOM Academy • Permaculture Action Series in the three days before the festival starts – June 13th-16th. With an incredible team of facilitators, this course will prepare you with the skills and tools we all need to transition to a more ecologically-integrated, community-oriented way of living.
