 ome to one or both!\n\nAbout the Workshop:\nLearn how the fundamentals
  of Permaculture design can come out of the garden and into all aspect
 s of our lives and community! This two-day workshop will show you the 
 tools that Permaculture has to offer to redesign our social and cultur
 al landscape for a localized, low-energy future. From our personal fru
 strations and fears to the global challenges we all share, this worksh
 op is your chance to engage your head, heart, and hands in creating a 
 more resilient and participatory response to peak oil, climate change,
  and energy descent.\n\nWhat is Permaculture?\nPermaculture is a syste
 m of tools, strategies, and methodologies for designing human systems 
 that function like natural systems. Permaculture presents a way of und
 erstanding and taking action in the world that allows us to create a \
 "permanent culture,\" from farming to economics to education, that is 
 sustainable indefinitely and that becomes more abundant with time.\n\n
 What is Resilience?\nResilience is the ability of a system -- an ecosy
 stem, an economic system, a culture -- to withstand shocks, stresses, 
 and upheavals, to evolve and adapt without losing its basic cohesion a
 nd form.\n\nCost: $100 / $50 students and seniors / scholarships avail

 vent:\nVancouver Beyond Peak Oil: Community Post-Carbon Visioning\n\nH
 ow will our community be affected by peak oil, climate change, and eco
 nomic instability over the next five, ten, twenty years? As we live th
 rough these times of great global change, what do we want our city to 
 look like when we come out the other side? What do we need to do right
  now to make sure we get the future we want? And most importantly, how
  can we come together to do it effectively and have fun doing it?\n\nJ
