I can't believe its been a whole 2 years since the last, (and my first!), UK Permaculture Convergence, in 2012 held at the fantastic Coed Hills Rural Art Space in South Wales. The Convergence, which happens every other year, is this year taking place just NE of outside London at Gilwell Park.
I, for one, can't wait!
My 2012 Convergence experience was amazing....in a nutshell, the best kind of 'pop up' community, friends old and new, all with a shared vision of living, learning and celebrating all things permaculture .... fantastic and diverse workshops, live music, comedy, dance, arts and crafts, wonderful networking, radical thinking, kids activities, delicious food (including the required vast number of cakes for any permaculture related event!) , gallons of tea drinking (and perhaps the odd bit of alcohol consumption) ....all in a totally magical part of the UK
The 2014 UK Permaculture Convergence (#ukpc2014 - for those of you who tweet!), looks set to be even better, in a stunning and very accessible location, with some top folk already listed for running workshops...and the exciting addition of a 'market place' for us all to sell and buy our ethically made/sourced/designed stuff....
For heaps more information (including a list of confirmed workshops, so far) and to book tickets see the UK Permaculture Association Website
In the mean time here are a few more pics from 2012....
See you all next month x
