Dear friends,
You are invited to the Global Earth Repair Convergence May 7-11, at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, WA.
This is the biggest and most important event in my career. International in scope with many of the leading restoration people from around the world. I know that most of you reading this live too far away to get here in person, but some of you are close enough that you can consider coming in person. Lots more info to link to here.
BUT, all of you can attend ONLINE. We have a stellar, world-class line-up of speakers and are broadcasting programs from North America, Africa and Brazil. We will be live-streaming events from Port Townsend to thousands of people. Check out our line-up. It is impressive!
$20 per day or $50 for 3-days of content. There is a scholarship button if you can’t afford this minimal amount.
Let me now if you want to attend in person and have questions. 360-643-9178. friedsofthetrees@yahoo.com
Love to all of you. No better time to heal the planet than right now. We can all help. The dominant paradigm is falling apart and we need to build the ecological and equitable world to replace it.

Meet Our Permaculture Speakers – Global Earth Repair Convergence
Permaculture is one of the most important movements in the world. We know the solutions to at least most of the world’s woes. We know how to help ecosystems heal and produce abundant, nutrient-dense food and how humans can live sustainably on the planet. Largely we have been sidelined by the media.
There have been many climate conferences in the world, but few of them have been organized by permaculturists and feature permaculture.
The Global Earth Repair Convergence highlights permaculture and many related disciplines. Don’t miss it!

Kids’ Program at the Global Earth Repair Convergence
Bring the Kids!
The focus of the Kids Program this year will be nature connection, friendship, and FUN in many forms… games, nature craft, fort building, mapping and navigation (yes treasure hunting), marine ecology activities, stealth and camo skills, fire making (and cooking?!), plant walks and animal tracking…. with fun games, team challenges, special guests, free play, and sweetness along the way. There will always be options for children who are feeling/ wanting solo activities, and we will keep our eye out for that.
We carry a bag of tricks with us along the way! Including art and craft supplies, snacks, stories, songs, leadership opportunities, tricks of the trade, and loving attention. We are excited to be with your kids while you learn, connect, and play yourselves!
Children ages 5-11/12 are welcome to join us on the shores and woods of Fort Worden, as we have a blast and learn some nature skills along the way! There will be leadership opportunities for any older kids who are called.MORE INFO

Chrys Ostrander
We have initiated an online space for individuals & communities to coordinate ride-sharing for people driving to the Global Earth Repair Convergence (GERC).
It’s a public Facebook group, so it’s easy to get to.
GO TO RIDE-SHARE GROUP
From there you can post where you are leaving from/at what time – # of seats open in your vehicle if you’re offering a ride OR the number of seats needed if you need a ride.
Let’s all help each other get to & from GERC!
We want you here!
The community is coming together to figure out cheap/free housing options for Convergence attendees who really want to come, and aren’t sure how to swing it.
