Solutions from the Grassroots
June 18 – July 27
Eugene, Oregon
Are you ready to make positive, meaningful change in the world?
Community Transformations is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to live a wholesome lifestyle, build community, enact genuine sustainability, develop a powerful social vision, vitalize body, mind and spirit, and have fun making the world a better place.
Come to Eugene, Oregon, this summer for a six-week intensive experience participating with engaged people who are transforming their own neighborhood into a more sustainable, resilient, livable place…from the ground up, one seed at a time.
Community Transformations will challenge you to integrate body, mind, heart, and spirit in service to all living beings…and empower you with knowledge, skills, vision, and strategies for generating authentic, solution-oriented change from the grassroots.

Because we are the ones we’ve been waiting for, and the time is now
“To see a vital community in action was not only inspiring, but a lesson in information exchange. With every week of participation, I was introduced to new community members, each with vital and intriguing knowledge to share….The information and skills shared through this network in this way – face-to-face, feet-to-earth, hands-to-tool – was exceptionally deep and enriching.”
-Ryan Dubas, Participant, 2011
(Ryan published an article about his experience in the Winter 2011 issue of Communities magazine, http://communities.ic.org/issues/153/Permaculture)
During the program, you will have the opportunity to work with leading practitioners, teachers, and mentors (many of whom live right in the neighborhood) in the following areas:
• Permaculture and organic gardening
