Planting Seeds in the Dark of Moon

 

welcoming 2 local Bolinas beings as our guest cahooters tonight,
that we may glean from Nature guiding metaphoric  wisdom:

Messenger Seed being John Glavis,
and master permaculture teacher globally and locally, Penney Livingston…

Of particularly pertinent adorable note: Mars is animating 28+ Virgo: “In a cave overhing with twisted roots, a seeker pours over the pages of a glowing alchemical manuscript.” And the Moon reflects 28+ Libra:”men toiling in a dark pit – a woman calmly lowers a rope.”
And of cousre Wednesdays New Moon 19+ Scorpio is “Woman drawing back two dark curtains leading to a scared pathway…”

 

 

Penny Livingston-Stark is internationally recognized as a prominent permaculture teacher and designer. She is the Co-founder of the Regenerative Design Institute. She specializes in education toward developing skills in creating resource rich landscapes, co-housing design, site planning, as well as edible landscaping, productive perennial farm systems, rainwater collection, pond design, natural building, water purification systems, habitat development and watershed restoration. She co-created the ecological design program and curriculum at the San Francisco Institute of Architecture as well as the Permaculture program at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center. She co-manages the Commonweal Garden, a diverse permaculture organic farm in Bolinas California with her husband James Stark. She has been invited to teach, speak and share her vision of community resiliency and regenerative design all over the world.

 

John Glavis recently joined the Commonweal Garden Community bringing a lifetime of experience and resources as a biodiversity researcher, educator, and International garden designer for eco-lodges and retreat centers. A thirty-five year resident of Bolinas, John founded the BoTierra Biodiversity Research Project for the study of under-utilized nutient-rich indigenous food plants that may be of value to regional farmers. As a ceremonialist, dancer, and musician he has traveled extensively gathering stories, wisdom, and rare seed varieties with high potential from indigenous cultures and is presently writing on the subject of food sovereignty, ceremony, and celebration in the art of community building. He served on the design committee for the Bolinas Towne Park and assisted in the creation of local school gardens. He is very inspired and grateful to be part of the Regenerative Design Institute team and Commonweal family.
