[Laakea-events] Upcoming Events at La'akea

[La'akea Community Announcements]

*Community Permaculture Tour**and Open House*
*Dec 6th 2013*
*La'akea Intentional Community, Pahoa*

Come join us for a morning introduction to our community lifestyle!

  We are a committed group of people working together closely in 
community, on our 24 acres organic permaculture farm. We integrate the 
social aspects of sustainability into daily life: how to live together 
with honesty, love and peace, and share power and leadership.  We do not 
have one central leader, but instead share the cost of the land and the 
leadership equally.

   This is a great time to come meet our members, tour our land, ask 
questions about community and get a peek into our daily life.
*9:30- 11:30Permaculture Tour of Laakea with Tracy Matfin*
Take a fun and informative tour of our land, including our organic 
gardens, alternative building methods, off grid solar system, animals 
and orchards. Learn some basics of permaculture concepts and how we 
apply them in action.

Tracy Matfin studied environmental science at U.C. Berkeley, and went on 
to be a high school science teacher for a decade, her love of nature 
coming out in her leading the hiking club on many weekend hikes and 
restoration projects. She teaches permaculture at La'akea and in other 
local venues. She is a member at La'akea.
