The
Fellowship for Intentional Community's Art of
Community
immersive conference experience, coming up September 23-25, is
truly a
cooperative production. We couldn't do it without our
amazing
sponsors and promotional partners. We'd like to
highlight Common
Circle Education for their support in helping us spread the
word....
Common Circle
Education
Common Circle Education is the
nation’s
foremost leadership, sustainable living and permaculture
school.
We reconnect people with nature — remembering our
collective
heritage, creating a beautiful thriving future rooted in
community
and sustainability.
Explore and celebrate the power of community and
cooperative culture
as key ingredients for creating resilient communities!
Today we’re announcing our most powerful program
yet —
a cross-country permaculture design course on bike:

 |
The
Permaculture and Sustainability Across America 2012 Bicycle
Tour
Come ride your bicycle with us across the country learning
about and
promoting sustainability and permaculture. Our most powerful
program
yet — a supported cross-country tour (support vehicle,
meals and
lodging included) to farms and sustainability sites,
integrated with
our award-winning permaculture design and regenerative
leadership certification
and much more — this program will change your life.
This three-month intensive course combines our Urban
Permaculture and
Regenerative Leadership Certificate training, followed by a
Wilderness
First Aid training before we head on the road cycling from
Eugene, Oregon
all the way across America to Washington DC (we’ll be
roughly
following the TransAM bike route — about 4200 miles),
promoting
and learning about sustainable living and intentional
communities.
The stunning places you will visit on this program
and the
extraordinary people you will meet will challenge and inspire
you...
Who: You and your neighbors who care about a
sustainable future
for America. As always, all of our programs are designed for
beginner
and intermediate cyclists.
Where: Eugene, Oregon to Washington, DC
When: June 1 — August 31, 2012
This program is about sustainable community living
–
through the extensive training and preparation, the group will
form
a self-contained community on wheels that will cycle across
the nation
learning and promoting sustainable living. Because all of our
programs
are always designed for beginner and intermediate cyclists, we
will
teach you how to fix your own flats, fundamentals of bicycle
mechanics,
wilderness first aid, many safe bicycle touring skills, and
provide
you with the best possible routes.
Aside from the amazing places you will visit on this course,
the
most inspiring and transformational aspect of this program is
undoubtedly
the incredible community that will form throughout the
course.
The depth and richness of dialogue of each of our programs
naturally
leads to friendships and relationships that last well past the
expedition
itself.
“I will be eternally grateful for the life changing
experience
I had on the Common Circle expedition I went on during the
first summer
of their rides."
