Biography
I took my PDC in 1995 from Bill Mollison and Scott Pittman. Gathered 2-3 years of hands on, on the land experience. Then kids arrived! Finsihed degree, lucrative ish career ensued. I find myself over 20 years later ready to transition back into the natural systems approach. Looking for others to share down payment etc and design/grow the rooted lifestyle together. Ideally on west coast of US but who knows!

Wow looking good there Carrie! I'd love to come back sometime for another visit! Glad to see you are still out there...magical place! I think of you two from time to time.

Grass Valley here too...I ran a permie guild in humboldt years ago. I know the native pant folks used to gather regularly at 1849...we could try something similar to start. Any mention of permaculture around here gets pretty mixed reception due to the influx of permie washing in way-too-hip-for-black-rock Nevada City. =) It's still a thing though, we exist.

 Would be great to hear more about Nevada County projects and peeps. Hit me up if anyone wants to collaborate...uprooted from my last scene and ready to mulch myself into somewhere new.

Sounds intriguing Matt! Best of luck and I'll give you a ring if I'm ever on that side of the country. If you decide to host any design courses that might be a great way to pull interest into your scene, just a thought.

I helped out on a property up there called Old Mill Farm many years ago just outside Mendocino proper. Magical place and it was right after I got my cert from Bill M. so I was sheet mulching and eating chanterelles almost the entire year round. My partner and I would love to help out if there is still a need. I sent you and email Philip! I'll grow you more food than we can process and sniff out all the wild mushroom patches! =)

I really like the idea of establishing a community around art, music and other shared passions while working together on permaculture based projects to thrive. Years ago, back in the 90's I guess, I used to try to make my ideal schedule for the day if money were not an issue. Art/Music, Permaculture and Health seemed to be three areas that would provide most if not all the things one needed to live as a group. I call this the harmony of the spheres like Pythagoras. Still dreaming after this as a way of life, looking for that community and look forward to a time when I can spend all my time learning the things that truly capture my interest and passion. Amy, I am not far from Oregon so reach out if you like, let me know if you'd like to collaborate etc.
