Please bring a snack to share, a cup, a plate, a utensil, and a desire to watch a film and have a conversation with community.

The film iteslf is only 45 minutes, and it begins about 7 PM! Ahead of that, we will share some food and meet each other. After the film, we'll have some time to talk about what's happening in and around Butte and Montana in regenerative farming and permaculture systems. What's possible here?

Film Description:
Permaculture: The Growing Edge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVtfYP3jCu4) is an antidote to environmental despair, a hopeful and practical look at a path to a viable, flourishing future. The film introduces us to inspiring examples of projects, and includes a visit to David Holmgren's own homestead, tracking deer with naturalist Jon Young, sheet mulching an inner-city garden with Hunters Point Family, transforming an intersection into a gathering place with City Repair and joining mycologist Paul Stamets as he cleans up an oil spill with mushrooms. We interview some of the key figures in the Permaculture movement, including David Holmgren, Penny Livingston-Stark, James Stark, Paul Stamets, Mark Lakeman, Dr. Elaine Ingham, Maddy Harland, and others.

Permaculture is a sustainable system of earth care that offers solutions to many of our grave environmental problems and a hopeful, proactive vision of change. The Permaculture movement, started by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the nineteen seventies, is now a worldwide network of skilled ecological designers, teachers, food growers, natural builders, environmental activists and visionaries. "Permaculture is the key to a post-carbon future," says Maddy Harlan, editor of Permaculture Magazine.
