Transformational Learning Retreat & Season Kickoff Fest (Marketplace Sunday)


Tickets Available On ~ Eventbrite ~

It is with excitement that Permatours’ Traveling Tour invites you to 4 days of transformational and experiential learning and festivities. On Day 4 we’ll share our learnings, and celebrate the kickoff of our 2022 Season!

Hosted at Diggers Co-op’s compost farm in Acton, ME, we’ll be returning to where we built our first ever structure together as Permatours – a tiny home we built from recycled and reclaimed materials.

For the first 3 days we’ll be “learning by doing” – offering you the opportunity to partake in the following permaculture style workshops:

– tiny house carpentry

– greenhouse construction

– permaculture gardening

– cobb oven and rocket stove build

– compost tea brewing hugelkultur garden creation

– hoop house construction

On Day 4 for the festival, we’ll connect around drum circles, nourishing food, plant & mushroom walks, permaculture talks, cacao ceremony, tea lounging, sound healing, body movement, and more.

Local vendors will also be attending the festival to share their eco-friendly, locally-sourced or hand-made products and services.

The vendor fee is $50 or waived for those accepting Seeds cryptocurrency for payment or partial payment. (Learn more about Seeds below).

Please contact the organizer if you’re interested in participating as a vendor.

ABOUT PERMATOURS

Permatours is a movement of folks striving to live more harmoniously; to learn and teach each other how to sustainably grow and forage food, build structures and shelter, and live in community – intentionally. We’ve been unlearning and re-learning what we can do together not just to survive, but to thrive with each other and the planet.

We completed over 20 regenerative volunteer projects throughout the northeast region of the U.S. in 2021 and we’ve got plenty more coming up this year!! To drive further impact and expand our reach, we’ll be capturing education shared at our events to embed into online courses. There are many ways to get involved and support. Please reach out if you’d like to explore working together.

EARN, BARTER, & TRADE w/ SEEDS CRYPTO – REGENERATING OUR PLANET

Permatours received a seeds crypto grant to do earth healing projects and reward those who contributed to the over 21 projects completed in 2021 throughout New England & beyond. SEEDS is an open-source, decentralized, citizen-governed & evolved financial system.

Contributors of Permatours sustainable construction and permaculture projects earn seeds crypto for their regenerative work and they can redeem them for products and services offered by members of our commuting.

Why Seeds?

  • It can be sent instantly with no fees.

  • It can be used around the globe so long as you have a phone or wifi

  • It funds regenerative projects around the world.

  • It redistributes value to those who are working to heal the people, our planet and our communities.

  • SEEDS is run directly by the Citizens, not by a single organization for the benefit of that organization.

  • Anyone can join SEEDS and has an equal opportunity to contribute and gain value.

Join us in building a regenerative economy w/ Seeds, inspiring connection and exchange between the communities visited on Perma-tours. There are 125+ ppl in our local New England community who have seeds to spend or have products and services accepting seeds for payment. Globally, there are 10k+ people with Seeds to trade & exchange, and 100+ organizations like Permatours that have been funded through Seeds cryptocurrency grants.
