Hey Jess-
I still have your stove!
Also- some thoughts to add about the convergence wrap up, whether I can make the Winooski Valley Meeting, or not.
Do you know who from there is planning to come to the Regional Organizers' Retreat this winter?…

- Hi Keith--George LIsi put me in touch with Mark K, who also said I should get in touch with you, too. I also emailed this same information to Mark, who has said he is indeed interested. I am the founding co-director of Spirit Hollow, a nature-based shamanic and spiritual ecology center in the Taconics of SW Vermont (near bennington). Also, I am a founding member of our local transition group, the Walloomsac Trans. Forum. we would love to have permaculture training at Spirit Hollow, hopefully in the spring.
We'd have LOTS of interest here in SW Vermont in permaculture, so I have no doubt we could fill a training.
I guess with what little we know, we'd love to have a permaculture design course here that was very hands on. The goal would be two-fold: help Spirit Hollow incorporate permaculture into the existing layout, and to give our community the experience of learning how to do it for their own sites.
Here are some open weekends here, and you and Mark could see if any of those work. Or, if there is a better time of year than spring , let me know and we'll find a good time.
Weekend of April 23
Weekend of April 30
Weekend of May 28 (which is Mem. Day , I think)
We can look into June and March too, but March is pretty if-y with mud and snow.
So, you can let me know your ideas and the way your work and what a two-three day training might look like and also what your fee is or how much you' d like to make/charge.
I hope this isn't too much information too soon! Just thought I should get the ball rolling.
WIth much gratitude and excitement,
Tracey Forest

Whats crackalackin? I hope all is well dude. Winter time is gonna swing down from the north soon:) Anyway if you need any help on any projects sometime let me know. I am almost booked with carpentry and stonework for next year, but would like to expand my permaculturing, so keep me in mind. If not it is cool, but we should do something sometime anyhow. I hope all is well with the family. Stay coooool! (an easy thing to do this time of year).

Jay Walsh said… - Hi Keith,
Thanks for the heads up on the event Holyoke. Unfortunately I will be away that weekend.
Though your reply and reference to Eric Toensmeier's garden in downtown Holyoke helped to make another connection for me as I work with an associate of his, Jonathan Bates. You may know him from the Edible Forest workshop he did this past summer at Yestermorrow. He and I both work for the Center for Ecological Technology (CET). He works in the Northamption, MA (now Florence, MA) office and I work in the Pittsfield.
I work as an Energy Star and LEED for Homes green building rater in Western Mass, New York, Connecticut and Vermont.
I'm always interested in talking with Jonathan about gardening but have yet to get by his garden. Perhaps I can get him to give me a personal tour.
Thanks again

Emily Kaminsky said… - Keith, Thanks for the heads up on the Salvation Farms event on Food Not Lawns. I'm trying to figure out the best way to connect my Barre-Based group of people (although there will hopefully be a Montpelier contingent and others getting involved) connected to these other opportunities and movements (if they are). Do you know of any other efforts to get people - in a coordinated fashion - turning their lawns into gardens? If so, I'd love to connect with them. Then, it sounds like it might make sense to have a workshop or two here in Barre - perhaps at LACE with you and/or Mark Krawcyk (sp? sorry!). Perhaps there could be a nice series of conversations scheduled at LACE in May and June as we head into the growing season.

Beth said… - hey kieth :)
i felt that monday went really well. we had a lot of great discussions about our vision for hardwick, all of which i tried to fit into the summary... a daunting task, but i think i got the gist of it :)
as i was perusing my latest yestermorrow class schedule, it occured to me that they should be linked to the transition vt site, if they're not already (i haven't browsed around a whole lot yet -it's possible i just missed them). y'all are teaching the skills so many involved in the transition initiative are wanting to know!!
i hope you're well, and we'll keep you updated as to when the next meeting will be, in case you're wanting and are able to attend :)
take care ~beth

Jeri Helen said… - Hi Keith,
I told Ben that I'd email you and Mark about the upcoming meeting for the Village Building Convergence in Montpelier. But since you've already added yourself to the group perhaps you know about it already. I hope you'll want to join the steering committee - there's already lots of momentum for the event. Pretty exciting.
Hey - is that you snowkiting in the photo?? I'm actually having my first lesson this Saturday afternoon - I can't wait!

Cj Sloane said… - Hi Keith.
I'm interested in having someone draw up a plan that will quality for the land use program. I thought it had to be done by a certified forester, but I guess that's incorrect.
I have 125 acres in Wallingford, off Creek Road, basically all forested. Over the past year, we've added different kinds of animals and I've been trying to incorporate permaculture ideas into my little "farm".
If you're interest let me know how to proceed, including your fee.
Thanks -cj
