SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Public Talk at Woodbine: Integrated Local Harvests\, July 25\, 2014 — Sedalia CO
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, July 25\, 2014\nTime: 7–9 pm\nVenue: Woodbine Ecology Center\nAddress: 2584 N. State Hwy 67\, Sedalia\, CO 80135\nSuggested donation: $5–$10\nBoth volumes of Brad’s book series\, Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands & Beyond\, will be available at the talk for sale & signing\nBrad’s talk:\nIntegrated Local Harvests:\nSimple and Effective Ways to Enhance the Natural Abundance of Your Home\, Community\, and the Larger World\nThis dynamic presentation shares patterns and strategies to harvest\, integrate\, and enliven free local resources—such as rain-\, grey-\, and stormwaters; sun\, wind\, and shade; along with soil fertility\, wild foods\, and community fun—in a way that generates far more potential than the sum of their parts. Scarcity is re-visioned into abundance simply through creative cycling and utilization of what is already at hand. Costly and consuming habits and infrastructure\, disconnected from their surroundings\, are reoriented and reconnected to maximize enriching opportunities.\nYou’ll see many examples of such transformation\, including how once-dying wetlands and creek flows are being regenerated with simple hand-built structures made of on-site materials; how ancient sun- and shade-harvesting sites are informing passively heated\, cooled\, and powered modern homes and retrofits; and how once-blighted\, overheated neighborhood streets are being rejuvenated into thriving greenbelts of water\, people\, wildlife\, art\, food\, and celebration by planting once-drained stormwater\, seed\, and yard prunings.\nThis talk is both an invitation for you to engage and partner with your natural surroundings and community\, and a treasure map showing you the way—by planting the rain\, dancing with the sun\, growing fertile shade\, and more to live as one of your community’s inspirational sparks!\nFMI: Visit www.woodbinecenter.org

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Water-Harvesting Presentation and Hands-on Workshop at Shadhiliyya Sufi Center\, April 19\, 2014 — Pope Valley CA
DESCRIPTION:Brad’s one-day class is part of a 2 1/2-day workshop led by Clara Yoshihara.\nDate: Saturday\, April 19\, 2014\nTime: 9 am – 4 pm\nCost: Between $62 – $82 per person (sliding scale) for the full multi-day workshop (does not include lodging or meals)\nVenue: Shadhiliyya Sufi Center\, Pope Valley CA\nThis one-day class will begin with Brad’s basic water-harvesting talk and continue with a hands-on integrated earthworks workshop. Read on for descriptions:\nGeneral Water-Harvesting Presentation:\nTurning Drains Into Sponges and Water Scarcity Into Water Abundance\nThis inspiring presentation shares eight universal principles of water harvesting along with simple strategies that turn water scarcity into water abundance\, and floods into opportunity. They empower you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and throughout your community. Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls. Greywater harvesting is the process of directing water from household sink\, bathtub\, shower\, and washing-machine drains into the soils of the landscape where the water is naturally filtered and reused to generate more on-site resources. The two work hand in hand\, and can reduce our water consumption by 30 to 50%! You’ll see examples enhancing local food security\, passively cooling cities in summer\, reducing costs of living and energy consumption\, controlling erosion\, averting flooding\, reviving dead waterways\, minimizing water pollution\, building community\, creating celebration\, and more.\nHow to Plant the Rain (and Other On-site Waters) to Grow Sustainable Abundance\nIn order to better see the whole and our place within the hydrologic cycle\, each earthworkshop begins with participants learning the Water-Harvesting Principles; basic watergy facts; integration of sun\, water\, and community; oasis zones; how to think like a plant; and various earthworks strategies. We then assess the site\, identifying water resources and watersheds\, asking and answering relevant site-specific questions\, and testing our observations with simple tools. Equipped with a deeper understanding of the site and its water\, we then place and create water-harvesting earthworks\, guided by the Principles\, key integration techniques\, and the goal of living within the site’s sustainable water budget. Depending on the site\, typical earthworks created in an workshop can include infiltration basins/rain gardens\, one-rock check dams\, contour berm ‘n basins/swales or boomerang berm ‘n basins\, and terracing. Time and resources permitting\, we will plant guilds of vegetation within/beside the earthworks and view a presentation of earthworks from around the world.\nRegister here.\nFMI: Contact Laila at (707) 965-0700 x 21\nChildcare assistance available.\nVisit Shadhiliyya Sufi Center’s website at SufiCenter.org to learn more about the center and its mission.

Scarcity is re-visioned into abundance simply through creative cycling and utilization of what is already at hand. Costly and consuming habits and infrastructure\, disconnected from their surroundings\, are reoriented and reconnected to maximize enriching opportunities.\nYou’ll see many examples of such transformation\, including how once-dying wetlands and creek flows are being regenerated with simple hand-built structures made of on-site materials; how ancient sun- and shade-harvesting sites are informing passively heated\, cooled\, and powered modern homes and retrofits; and how once-blighted\, overheated neighborhood streets are being rejuvenated into thriving greenbelts of water\, people\, wildlife\, art\, food\, and celebration by planting once-drained stormwater\, seed\, and yard prunings.\nThis talk is both an invitation for you to engage and partner with your natural surroundings and community\, and a treasure map showing you the way—by planting the rain\, dancing with the sun\, growing fertile shade\, and more to live as one of your community’s inspirational sparks! \n\n

See details below.\nWater-Harvesting Earthworks Presentation:\nPlanting the Rain: Principles\, Practices\, and Tips for Water-Harvesting Earthworks and Raingardens\nPlant the rain before you plant your trees to boost production\, reduce flooding\, conserve water\, and create sustainable oases around your homes and community infrastructure. Raingardens and other small-scale earthworks quickly infiltrate rainfall into the soil where less is lost to evaporation\, while reducing erosion. Living ‘pumps’ of vegetation then enable us the access that water. Come learn simple principles and tips to leverage greater success as you implement these simple and effective passive systems. This presentation builds on Brad’s basic water-harvesting talk\, while offering more specifics and case studies. Working examples and case studies will be highlighted.\nHands-on Workshop: Planting the Rain (and Other On-site Waters) to Grow Sustainable Abundance\nIn order to better see the whole and our place within the hydrologic cycle\, each earthworkshop begins with participants learning the Water-Harvesting Principles; basic watergy facts; integration of sun\, water\, and community; oasis zones; how to think like a plant; and various earthworks strategies.

They empower you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and throughout your community. Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls. Greywater harvesting is the process of directing water from household sink\, bathtub\, shower\, and washing-machine drains into the soils of the landscape where the water is naturally filtered and reused to generate more on-site resources. The two work hand in hand\, and can reduce our water consumption by 30 to 50%! You’ll see examples enhancing local food security\, passively cooling cities in summer\, reducing costs of living and energy consumption\, controlling erosion\, averting flooding\, reviving dead waterways\, minimizing water pollution\, building community\, creating celebration\, and more.

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Public Talk: Simple & Effective Ways to Enhance the Natural Abundance of Your Home\, Community\, and the Larger World\, February 10\, 2014 — San Francisco CA
DESCRIPTION:WHO & WHAT: Brad Lancaster shares patterns and strategies to harvest\, integrate\, and enliven free local resources-such as rain\, grey\, and storm water\, sun\, wind\, and shade\, along with soil fertility\, wild foods\, and community fun – in a way that generates more potential than the sum of their parts. Scarcity is re-visioned into abundance through creative cycling and utilization of what is already at hand. This presentation covers simple\, manageable\, small site projects.\nPRESENTED BY: Bay-Friendly Landscaping & Gardening Coalition\nDATES: Monday\, February 10\, 2014\nTIME: 6:30–9:30 p.m.\nLOCATION: Hall of Flowers In Golden Gate Park\, 9th Avenue @ Lincoln Ave\, San Francisco\nCOST: Register by 2/7/2014 and the cost is $15 for Bay-Friendly members\, and $20 for non-members.\nAfter 2/7/14\, the cost is $20 for Bay-Friendly members\, and $25 for non-members.\nTO REGISTER: Please click here to visit the registration portal\nDOWNLOAD THE FLYER\nMORE ABOUT THE TALK:\nThis dynamic presentation shares patterns and strategies to harvest\, integrate\, and enliven free local resources—such as rain-\, grey-\, and stormwaters; sun\, wind\, and shade; along with soil fertility\, wild foods\, and community fun—in a way that generates far more potential than the sum of their parts. Scarcity is re-visioned into abundance simply through creative cycling and utilization of what is already at hand. Costly and consuming habits and infrastructure\, disconnected from their surroundings\, are reoriented and reconnected to maximize enriching opportunities.\nYou’ll see many examples of such transformation\, including how once-dying wetlands and creek flows are being regenerated with simple hand-built structures made of on-site materials; how ancient sun- and shade-harvesting sites are informing passively heated\, cooled\, and powered modern homes and retrofits; and how once-blighted\, overheated neighborhood streets are being rejuvenated into thriving greenbelts of water\, people\, wildlife\, art\, food\, and celebration by planting once-drained stormwater\, seed\, and yard prunings. This talk is both an invitation for you to engage and partner with your natural surroundings and community\, and a treasure map showing you the way.\n

SUMMARY:Brad Lancaster: Public Talk: Enhancing What We Already Have\, January 17\, 2014 — Harare\, Zimbabwe
DESCRIPTION:Rain is always free.Illustration by Joe Marshall.\n.\n.\nLocation: Education Centre\, Upper East Road\, Harare\nDate: Friday\, January 17\, 2014\nTime: 2:30 – ? pm\nEnhancing What We Already Have:\nInspiring Stories and Strategies from Around the World for Harvesting Free On-Site Resources such as Water\, Sun\, Shade\, Food\, Fertility\, and Community\nThis presentation shares universal principles and practices that turn water scarcity into water abundance\, floods into opportunity\, and wastes into fertility. The key is creative cycling and utilization of what is already at hand. We begin with simple and effective strategies that can be used at home\, then move to the street\, the neighborhood\, the village or city\, and the rural broadacre environment.\nRainwater-\, greywater-\, stormwater-\, and condensate-harvesting strategies from the southwestern U.S.\, Middle East\, and Italy will be shared. Examples include how once-dying wetlands and creek flows are being regenerated with simple hand-built structures made of on-site materials; how ancient rainwater cisterns are being rediscovered and rehabilitated to again hydrate people and farms of today; and how greenbelts of water\, wildlife\, food\, and celebration are being generated by planting once-drained stormwater\, seed\, and organic matter.\nThis talk is both an invitation for you to engage and partner with your natural surroundings and community\, and a treasure map showing you the way—by planting the rain\, dancing with the sun\, growing fertile shade\, and more to live as one of your community’s inspirational sparks!\nThere will be lots of time afterwards for questions and discussion. It’s a good opportunity to explore this very critical topic to us in Zimbabwe. \nPlease RSVP to John Wilson if you plan on attending so he knows how many people to expect\, and please feel free to spread this around your email/internet contacts to others who might like to come.\nDirections: Coming out of town on Sam Nujoma Ave (former 2nd Street extension)\, turn right just beyond the junction with Churchill Ave into Upper East Road. About 200-300 metres along Upper East turn right into the Ministry of Education complex and the Education Centre is on the left. There will be a PELUM Association banner on display outside.
