We invite you to be part of something new taking root in Barcelona – the launch of the Permaculture Barcelona Hub, a dedicated space for learning, designing, and living in deeper relationship with the natural world…within an urban and social context. To celebrate its birth, we are gathering to build community and connection at the start of summer.
Over four nights and three days, starting with an opening dinner and finishing with a breakfast celebration, we’ll weave together many strands:
• hands-on urban agriculture in a local community garden
• permaculture theory and vision
• inspiring conversations
• time at the beach
• a visit to one of Spain’s most renowned ecosocial community in the hills above the city and…
• another visit to an inspiring ecosocial hub in the neighbourhood
• cooking with our amazing team of cooks from Syria, Venezuela & Palestine, and sharing meals together
• encounters with local activists
• discussions about future directions in permaculture, and how to make the international movement more inclusive, social and dynamic
• online calls with Rosemary Morrow & Starhawk
• an online call with the international permaculture community
• the kind of deep community that only emerges when people come together around a common purpose
There are 16 places available for people who have done a Permaculture Design Course, have some experience in permaculture, and are passionate about it. This gathering is an opportunity to connect with like-minded people from many lands, to help launch a space that will serve the international permaculture community for years to come, and to work on the future direction of permaculture in a rapidly changing world.
Arrival on Thursday, May 28 at 17h. Departure on Monday, June 1 at 11h after a breakfast celebration.
It is also possible to arrive and depart at other times depending on your travel schedule.
