THE COST
Attendance is complimentary; however, last year, contributions (facilitated through our registered charity, Ethos Foundation) enabled us to donate approximately $10,000 to various community-driven permaculture education and action initiatives, particularly those focused on women and youth in the Global South. We ensure that 100% of all donations reach the intended recipients. We kindly ask for your support for this initiative
I hope you can be part of this extraordinary event.
Peace and kindness,
Morag
