Events

The end of the year is typically a time for both reflection and looking ahead. . .and for PARTIES! Please join us for a combination visioning meeting and extended social time next Monday January 17th! Our visioning meetings are when we get together as a group to decide what meeting topics we would like to see for the next 6-8 months.

EVERYONE is encouraged to attend and give your input about what topics are relevent and exciting to YOU! There are ideas floating around about including some meetings on permaculture principle and design basics, as well as ideas for our summer field trip destinations. But the most important thing is to make sure that the topics chosen interest people beyond just the ones who usually show up for these meetings! So please come share your ideas (especially if you know someone who could speak about them too!), eat great food, and have some time to connect with your fellow permies.

Mythmedia Presents: Q and A with Derrick Jensen
Wednesday December 19th, 7pm @ Disjecta (230 E. Burnside)
Advance Tickets $15, Door $18 (tickets @ www.mythmedia.org)

“Civilization is not and can never be sustainable.”

This is the first of fourteen premises in author Derrick Jensen’s revolutionary book Endgame. For the last decade Jensen has written articles and books concerning the problems of civilization and what we must do about them. In Endgame Jensen challenges the values and tactics of some of histories most influential pacifists, the sustainability™ movement and the painful games we play with those in power while trying to save what is left of our environment. The last time Jensen came to Portland, the Q and A went late into the night and ended with many questions unanswered. This time around Jensen is throwing out the reading and going straight to the Q and A!
