10th Continental Bioregional Congress
This great green event is over now!
Welcome home to the 10th Continental Bioregional Congress, to be held Oct. 3-11, 2009 on The Farm, one of the continent's premier ecologically-based communities, in Summertown, TN. on the 25th anniversary of the First Bioregional Congress.
In the ceremonial village of the congress, we will share and celebrate stories of place, model the communities we wish to support and create, and organize for ecological and cultural restoration. The congress will pilot the a bioregional curriculum – a toolbox of workshops, approaches, and practices that focus on building, sustaining and relocalizing communities; reinvigorating culture and arts; and grassroots organizing for ecological restoration and policy change. The congress includes large group plenaries, ceremonies and celebrations; small group talking circles; open space workshops and presentations; men's and women's circles; and a bioregional school for children. Pre-congress hands-on sessions will be offered in Transition Initiative, Carbon Farming, and Financial Permaculture. Holding this event at a successful 35-year-old ecovillage allows us to experience life in a permaculture-designed village full of earth-friendly housing, cooperative forestry, local foods, and consensus-based decision-making.

I would love to attend this awesome event, but it's the same weekend as the 2nd annual Watershed Poetry Mendocino festival. Best wishes for a great gathering!
