SUMMARY:Social Permaculture with Starhawk and Charles Williams
DESCRIPTION:Social Permaculture with Starhawk and Charles Williams at 
 OUR Ecovillage in Shawnigan Lake August 13–17. $799 includes camping
  and meals. In this five-day intensive, we’ll explore how to structu
 re our groups for maximum group health, how to share power fairly, imp
 rove our communication skills, mediate conflicts and facilitate group 
 processes. And we’ll share tools for decision making and constructiv
 e critique. Starhawk’s latest book, The Empowerment Manual: A Guide 
 for Collaborative Groups, will be our foundation. \nWe’ll balance th
 e process work with time outdoors in nature, including hands-on learni
 ng projects on the land, as well as walks, bird sits and wilderness aw
 areness. Insights from both permaculture and magic will help us learn 
 to be more effective and joyful as we work together to regenerate our 
 world.\nTHIS COURSE IS CERTAINLY FOR YOU IF YOU BELONG TO:\n1) a Trans
 ition Town initiative anywhere in the world!\n2) are a member, or a bo
 ard member, of a NGO that is committed to non-profit activities\n3) ar
 e a shareholder in a Cooperative of any type\n4) work with a community
  group, collective, coven, circle, affiliate, ad-hoc or whatever title
  might have been given to the aggregate of folks you are making decisi
 ons and creating collective processes with.\n5) and lets face it….if
  you belong to a family, live around other humans, or generally have s
 ocial relations: this is for all of us!\nGiven OUR ECOVILLAGE’s deep
  commitment to supporting the development of healthy and inspired shar
 ed human experience we would like to offer two options: 1) if you wish
  to create a partial skill trade for some of this course you let us kn
 ow and co-craft a proposal for this (limited positions).\n2) Join OUR 
 sustainers program and contribute $10–$20 per month to the daily run
 ning costs of the non-profit. In turn, OUR Sustainers receive 10–20%
  of all programming—including this seminar—for themselves and thei
