2 days of presentations, workshops, demonstrations and discussion groups on living in
sufficiency and balance with nature, in the rhythm of harmony and wellness

Information, innovations, and insight to sustainable agriculture, energy, economics and community

People are creating personal and community gardens, learning about the benefit of local and holistic food. Collaborations are blossoming through classes, seminars, and projects - gathering appreciation of new and synergistic models of community.



How we get it done - how we pay the bills, fuel the engines, offer the time and space - are the economics of our lives. These three areas are the theme for this year's event:

* Nutrition * Community * Economics


Living in simplicity and harmony with each other and our surroundings:
* Environmental Awareness * Conscious Relationship *

  * Sustainable living is the practice of peaceful co-existence *
