Join us for this inspiring and informative evening where we’ll show the film, “Permaculture: the Growing Edge”, hear from local gardening representatives and experts on how you can tap into local opportunities for growing food.

The film introduces us to inspiring examples of projects, and includes a visit to David Holmgren’s own homestead, tracking deer with naturalist Jon Young, sheet mulching an inner-city garden with Hunters Point Family, transforming an intersection into a gathering place with City Repair and joining mycologist Paul Stamets as he cleans up an oil spill with mushrooms.

Money & Life

(Event Sponsored by Transition Albany)
June 2, 2013 2:00 pm - Event Details

Money & Life“Money & Life is a passionate and inspirational essay-style documentary that asks a provocative question: can we see the economic crisis not as a disaster but as a tremendous opportunity? This cinematic odyssey connects the dots on our current economic pains and offers a new story of money based on an emerging paradigm of planetary wellbeing that understands all of life as profoundly interconnected.”

A profoundly hopeful, uplifting and energizing film, all helps us to understand the fundamentals of money – and how it got this way –  and how we can reclaim our lives from the rule of money.

Keep in touch as we develop partnerships with other local organizations and ask them to kick off audience discussion afterwards.

This film is being distributed in the spirit of the gift and you can watch it online here for a donation of your choice: http://moneyandlifemovie.com/
