There is an amazing event taking place just down the road...Individuals and organizations from all over the country, world...and from just down the road...and just over the next forested hill too...are gathering this October.
The idea is a common vision for a greener, more intimate kind of economics. A kind of economics that puts power back into the hands of local families and encourages investment in a healthy environment.
Financial Permaculture is the application of ecological wisdom to economics in a participatory and dynamic design to form businesses that are profitable and zero waste. Businesses that are designed to give back more to the community and bioregion in which they operate than they take out.
The workshop will coenside with a Green Business Summit that will unite local leaders with national entreprenuers and teachers to help catalyze a green renasance in the rural Tennessee community of Lewis County.
To lead the workshop, Catherine Austin Fitts of Solari will be teaming up other amazing teachers to show how we can map financial ecosystems and design businesses and investments the help regenerate local economies.
Along with Catherine, the co-founders of Gaia University International will be lending international experitise to the small town simulation creating an integrative approach to help create green collar jobs in rural America.
Working together with local non-profits, The Lewis Country Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Lewis and the Sonnenschien Comittee is helping to mix local business expertise, ingenuity and hard work, with the knowledge and ecological wisdom of international students and teachers.
The event takes place from the 24th-28th of October in the town of Hohenwald, TN. More details here
