>Dear Friends -
>
>I'm in the rural 3,000-person town of Hohenwald, the seat of Lewis
>County, Tennessee. This is one of the poorest counties in the state,
>which is one of the poorest states in the country... And yet, In the
>face of global financial crises, the local community has come
>together to pioneer a collaborative approach to creating safe,
>healthy, and resilient economic sustainability.
>
>The <http://www.financialpermaculture.com>Financial Permaculture
>Course, initiated and co-organized by the citizens of Hohenwald,
>focuses on the economic + permaculture design of 8 green enterprises
>chosen by the community. We'll be developing plans for Ethanol
>Production & Distribution, a Natural Builder's Contracting
>Association, a Farmer's Market & Community Processing Kitchen, a
>Green Business Incubation center, and more! Each design team
>contains local stakeholders, and the plans will be presented to a
>panel of potential financiers, government representatives, business
>owners, and the public.
>
>Documentation for this incredible event will most likely not be
>covered by national media... However, I've been working with a team
>of Gaia University associates to get ready for REAL-TIME
>documentation through the
><http://www.financialpermaculture.org>www.financialpermaculture.org
>blog and videos on youtube. All of the information, interviews, and
>resources that we gather will then be distilled into a wiki-like
>format so that the learning + discussion can continue after the
>course. Our team will also be creating a 20-minute documentary of
>the event.
>
>Financial Permaculture begins on Friday --
><http://www.financialpermaculture.com>stay tuned over the weekend as
>things get going!
