Michigan Speaking Tour

Picture Summary of Michigan Speaking Tour
As most of you are aware, I recently spent the better part of a week in S.E. Michigan on a speaking and consulting tour. Our events were well received and I learned much about grassroots initiatives that are pioneering the way into a more sustainable and compassionate world in Detroit, Flint, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. This picture summary will share some of the highlights and offer some good permaculture examples and ideas to most everyone.

Why Take a Permaculture Course?
Floods, Droughts, Storms and Pandemics Are Likely on the Rise.
We Can All Be Part of the Solution.
Permaculture design lays out clear ideas and techniques we can use to minimize these upcoming global disruptions. It also maps out the fundamentals to creating healthy environments for future generations. These trainings are all about being the change that brings us toward real and lasting solutions.

"Permaculture looks at life squarely in the face and simply asks the questions;
What is?
How do things really work?
There are no sacred cows. Permaculture explores multiple ways that we as humans can create real abundance, security and health for ourselves and the natural world... while similtaneously leaving the planet in much better condition because we were here.
It is honest.
It is realistic.
It is powerful."
