Introduction

Hello Everyone! I live in a Yoga Ashram, 77 acres of sacred land in the Catskills about 100 miles from NY City with an working organic garden and green house for the past 25 years. We want to become more sustainable.

What kind of invisible structure ideas do you favor?

Sponsoring interns to be part of the Yoga Ranch gardens and help realize the our Permaculture goals. We hope to host Green Phoenix permaculture courses and workshops.

Have you completed the PDC course and been certified? Diploma?

Yes, I was certified at the August 16 - 29, 2008 PDC course here at the Yoga Ranch with Toby Hemenway and Larry Santoyo, sponsored by Green Phoenix.

Are you currently in an ecovillage, organizing one, or would you be interested to join one?

Yes! I am part of a Yoga Peace community and want to create an ecovillage around it. Looking for people who love nature, gardening, green building and Yoga to help make it happen.

Do you have a place to apply permaculture designs?

We are applying some permaculture designs to our garden. We have plans for solar heating and hot water; a grey water system; etc. We have done workshops with Julia and Charles Yelton and PDC with Toby Hemenway and Larry Santoyo.

Would you be interested in taking a PDC course?

I am interested in taking another PDC course and offering another course at our Ashram.

What Srinivasan is saying about this Meetup Group

I was impressed by how engaged with living the permaculture philosophy everyone is. It would be good to work on some projects together if people can free the time from their busy schedules.
