Permaculture Vancouver Monthly Meetup! Potluck a go; workshop has been cancelled

The Pressure Cooking workshop instructor is unable to do the workshop on Wednesday night. The potluck will go on as scheduled, and we're looking around to see if we can find someone to do a workshop on another topic, but not sure if we'll find someone in time. If anyone has any ideas, let me know: ross@villagevancouver.ca.

If we don't find a replacement, it will just be a potluck this month.

Village Vancouver East Community Potluck

potluck @6:30

workshop or discussion @7:30pm

Join us at our free monthly potluck and workshop (e.g. making kimchi & sauerkraut, water kefir & kombucha, bicycle maintenance, etc.), or discussion. This month: Pressure Cooking. Come with something yummy and your ideas for workshops!

Keep your eyes and tummy out for other monthly potlucks with Village Vancouver (Vancouver's Transition Town Hub). There are currently 3 monthly potlucks - East (@Strathcona Fieldhouse), West End (@West End Community Centre, in conjunction with West Neighbourhood Food Network) and Main St./Riley Park (@Little Mtn. Neighbourhood House). Typically, a workshop or discussion follows the meal. Next month's workshop: TBD.

We also hold community potlucks (or other shared community meals) once in awhile in other neighbourhoods, including False Creek South, Grandview-Woodland, Kits, Marpole-Oakridge, Mount Pleasant, and West Point Grey.

Village Vancouver holds over 300 workshops, events, and activities a year.

Permaculture is about creating sustainable human habitats. It's about taking the energy from the land and encouraging it to cycle back into the land, to reuse it as many times as possible before letting it go (out to the sea of entropy, where we can't use it any more) so for example, a piece of land receives sun, wind, and rain. If we catch those... and use them judiciously, we can make our garden grow, and feed animals who will poop and return that to the land, and pretty soon we have better soil, better food, some protection, and eventually something to build with.
