2014 Northeast Permaculture Convergence

Resilient Cooperatives: A discussion on how we can create cooperative organizations that meet our basic needs and feed our souls.

Through a participatory discussion we will learn about cooperation and how groups have used the cooperative business structure to meet basic needs in their communities. We will draw the connections between permaculture and cooperative values and how together these values bring us together as people on Earth. Out of the workshop, participants will gain knowledge about the basic steps of starting a cooperative and inspiration to explore this model in their community.
