Water is essential to all life. In these times of uncertainty, we are gathering to explore with hands-on workshops, and discussions, about how we humans can support Water to slow, spread, sink, and stay in the ground to nourish Life and restore the small Water Cycle.
We are gathering at a special place at the confluence between two bioregions Northern Califas / Southern Cascadia, where Six major mountain ranges & ecological areas converge, Klamath Mountains, Coast Range, Southern Cascades, Sierra Nevada, Modoc Plateau, and Sacramento Valley receive their water from.
On Friday and Sunday we will offer hands-on workshops utilizing low-tech, accessible techniques that help landscapes store water and regenerate watersheds. Workshops will be led by experienced permaculture & waterwork teachers such as Charles Upton and Nik Bertulis.
On Saturday we will host an Open Space unConfernece – where we will co-create the agenda live the day of the event. It will be at the Hotlum EcoRestoration Camp on the Northwest Slopes of Mount Shasta. Our facilitator, Kaliya Young has 20 years of experience and is doing Bioregional organizing in Northern California.
You can attend any day or portion of the event you wish.
We will have a range of lodging options available:
• Tent camping
• Limited self-contained van camping sites
• Dispersed camping
• Lodging at local inns and B&Bs
We are weaving our community together using a tool called Social Fabric that is designed to support communities weaving themselves together and grow their relationship to land. This event takes place adjacent to wilderness and Inventoried Roadless Areas on the slopes of Mount Shasta. Primitive camping only.
