This month we’re going to screen some excerpts from the DVD, “Permaculture Skills” from Ben Falk and Whole Systems Design. The DVD has chapters on a variety of subjects related to Permaculture. From Design tools to specific skills, and philosophy discussions, there is a lot to choose from. We’ll decide what to watch based on the preferences of whomever attends!
Every month, Philly Permaculture screens a documentary, lecture, movie, or clips related to Permaculture, and how we can live more regenerative lives.

Bring some food to share if you’d like. Bring your own plates and utencils, and let’s try to make this a no-waste event! We’ll have plenty of time for a discussion about the film, or about whatever else is happening in Philly related to Permaculture and regenerative living!

Where: Repair the World 4029 Market Street Philadelphia
When: 7PM – 9PM, Tuesday February 16th, 2016
