Re: N. Am. permaculture convergence

A North American Convergence sounds good; but as a caution, I'd put in that
lead time is short and most of these large events have left burn-out in their

potentially stage the event. But in any case- I hope people are aware of the
regular (this will be the fourth) fall gathering at LVEC; we have never tried
to be more than regional, and are, in the pc spirit, growing it from small
successes. I hope if some N. Am. gathering takes place we can send some
delegates or somehow add energy while avoiding conflict of timing or...
