Juliana will present a slideshow featuring beautifully-photographed permaculture sites around the world and offer books on a sliding scale. The talk will include an invitation for discussion and a question and answer session. If you can’t be there and want to get the book, go to CultureOfPermaculture.org<\/a><\/p>\n

“I think my presentation might be fun to do as a kind of summary of the whole course, since I don’t just focus on the communities but on the different technologies and approaches in Natural Building, Energy, etc… I can commit to be part of the closing party, on the Friday 7\/14. I will not be on call for any births though, so that’s good : )”<\/em><\/p>\n
