Description
Full Moon Workshop:Visionary Permaculture Designwith Delvin & Grace Solkinson3 pm – 6 pm
Nature is miraculous. It’s regenerative power transforms elements and energies into life. Studying the Operating System of Nature yields a set of principles and protocols, secrets and strategies, techniques and technologies which are responsible for its success.
Permaculture Design shares an ecological toolkit combining traditional knowledge from indigenous wisdom and modern scientific understandings about how nature works. Using these design methods and processes can help save us time, energy and money while living in more alignment with our values. Permaculture focusses on the sustainable design of lifestyles, homes, gardens, farms and communities in a way that cares for people, the planet and our collective future.
Explore possibilities for retrofiting, rebuilding and reconnecting our systems of food production, building, and landcare as well as education, economics and business. Redesigning the way we manage our time, energy and resources; we can cultivate resilience in our life, work, and relationships.
Pilgrimage to the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors to join Delvin and Grace Solkinson to experience the visionary edge of permaculture design. Together we will explore the art and naturescapes at CoSM while sharing in an advanced introduction to some core concepts and creative ways to look at challenges and solutions.
Learn a practical homesteading skill by making medicine. A design charrette will give participants an opportunity to contribute creatively to the ongoing process of permaculture design at CoSM.

Grace Solkinson
Grace was raised on a small family farm nestled on the edge of the woods in the wilds of Washington state, where she developed a keen love of nature and an appreciation for its many uses in everyday life.
After many years of studying plant medicine and natural skincare while developing and selling a skincare line, she has begun to delve deeper into herbalism and begun studying with plant medicine maestras, enjoying learning from Dina Falconi and apprenticing with Susun Weed.
She recently took a 10 day advanced People and Permaculture mentoring course in the UK with Looby Macnamara and Peter Cow, and enjoyed journeying to a variety of sacred, historic, and stunning natural sites, including visiting a cold climate Food Forest in Scotland.Her focus is on using plant medicine to enrich your daily diet and health routines. She works full time at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors where she is able to showcase the alchemy of herbs and medicinal mushrooms in delicious food and drinks to show how delicious and easy it is to add plant medicine to your daily routine.
