Tracy, 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.

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 tour the landand ask 
questions about community.

the world. This weekend is just before the summer solstice, when the 
energy of the sun is at its height.  It is traditionally a time of 
gathering and celebration.

New Culture people are dedicated to examining every aspect of our 
existing cultures and experimenting to find out how to create a 
world based on love and freedom, rather than fear and violence.
    The simple act of sharing loving touch is a deeply powerful practice 
that most of us would like to have more often.  The intention for this 
event is to create a warm, loving and safe space for exploring 
sensuality, massage and relationship skills in an experiential way.

Come celebrate, be challenged, and enjoy yourself on the land and beach 
as we share our talents, knowledge and hearts with each other.
