As we reported earlier, David Holmgren will give a presentation at Rainbow Serpent Festival over the Australia Day weekend in January 2014. He will discuss the very apt subject on “Permaculture and Festivals; fringe delusion and degeneration or action at the edge?” reflecting on his own experiences in both.

Do not miss the chance to hear his talk at Rainbow 2014.
