Hello friends, With our Oregon courses now sold out, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming workshops and cycling tours in the San Francisco Bay Area:
-Sustainability in Motion Cycling Tour San Francisco - Davis (Oct. 2-9)
-Regenerative Leadership for Sustainability San Francisco Bay Area (Oct 25 -29)
-Urban Permaculture Design Certificate Course San Francisco Bay Area (Oct 30 - Nov 14) Did you know that many of our courses include accomodations and organic, vegan, mostly local meals for up to 80% less than other similar courses? Sign up before July 20th, and save a bundle with early registration! [More info @ http://commoncircle.com] The new San Francisco to Davis Sustainability in Motion Cycling Tour will take place mostly on lower-traffic farm roads, visiting organic farms and ecovillages where we will learn about sustainable, local, organic food production and get our hands dirty actually helping grow the food! This course is designed for beginner & intermediate cyclists. During the Regenerative Leadership for Sustainability Training, you will work with leading instructors (like tracker and keynote speaker Jon Young, who has spent over 25 years connecting people with nature) for an integrative course that brings together permaculture, nature connection, internationally-recognized Transition Training with the deep leadership skills we need to bring about the change needed today in reconnecting people with nature. Following the leadership training, we will offer our Urban Permaculture Design Intensive Course which has consistently been rated as a life-changing program by many of our participants. During this sixteen-day intensive, we will learn about natural systems (soil, trees, water, etc.,) and then take the lessons learned from nature and look at applying them in suburban and urban environment to solving our most pressing challenges. Unlike most similar courses, our Permaculture Design workshops focus on solutions in urban and suburban places, rather than rural agriculture. We are committed to facilitating the weaving of permaculture into the dominant canopy of our planet. With over half of the global population living in cities, we must rethink and redesign our cities to work with nature. Our cycling tours are designed for beginner and intermediate cyclists, and for those of you preferring a less athletic program, our workshops do not include any biking but still often include many bus visits to incredible places and people. Our programs are family-friendly and appropriate for all ages -- we've had participants as young as seven years old and as old as eighty! We hope you will join us for one of our amazing programs, and if you sign up before July 20th, you can save hundreds off regular rates.
