SUMMARY:Living Systems Agriculture with Jed Walker
DESCRIPTION:Living systems agriculture – what’s happening and what’s working with Jed Walker\nThere are many alternatives to our dominating system of damaging chemical monoculture. These alternatives are inspiring but can be confusing. \nThere are many questions: How much work is involved? Can they really feed a modern society? Can they draw down enough carbon to save the planet? What will work in my own backyard? \nJed will discuss several of the succession growing strategies\, for example\, syntropic farming and movement/global justice approaches\, permaculture and carbon farming solutions\, and agroforestry. \nTuesday 5 December 2023 – 6.30pm  – PAY AT THE DOOR – $2 members / $5 non members / $10 membership – registration starts at 6.15pm. Book at Here.

SUMMARY:Electric Mobility Forum
DESCRIPTION:Electric Mobility Forum\nIs the movement towards EVs transformational? \nAt the core of the human history of “progress” is change enabled by transformational technology. Do EVs of all kinds herald a transformational change\, and if they do\, what will this change look like and what opportunities and dangers does it present? This networking meeting will be a forum on Electric Mobility with guests Brett Bond\, Steve Nelson\, and Phil Spiers who will spark conversation\, provide perspectives\, and tell of their experiences. \nSteve Nelson is an investor in disruptive companies and technologies. Steve also worked in the IT industry when it went through its own period of significant disruption and experienced firsthand some of its characteristics and effects. As major disruptions always unfold in a similar pattern Steve will cover the key elements so that we might draw some insight as to how the EV industry will continue to evolve. This will allow us to judge the likely speed of adoption\, and some social and economic impacts. It gives an insight into future affordability and capability of EV’s and how that might also impact costs of other products and services we consume. \nPhil Spiers is an economist leading a project within a large international company to move to an EV fleet globally. Phil will speak to the practical challenges involved in the rollout. \nBrett Bond is with Fire Rescue NSW and is stationed at Katoomba. He is an advocate for home and transport electrification. He has a 6.6kw home solar with heat pump for hot water\, induction cooking\, and reverse cycle a/c. His electricity costs are neutral. He also has an electric motorcycle that he home charges and will purchase an electric van when the ‘right one’ comes along. He has embraced electrification for independence\, convenience and for the environment and will provide a brief history of the EV and talk about the practicalities of going EV.\nThe meeting starts at 7:00pm and meals are available from 6:00pm.

SUMMARY:Ancient Modern Marketplace
DESCRIPTION:Imagine you could find much of what you need\, all from people you trust\, in just 2 hrs while sitting at home! Yes\, an online human with human exchange. \n  \nAll of us have an amazing palette of gifts. Most of us don’t see our value. When we tap into our wealth of offers & recognise that we can fulfil up to 80% of each others’ local community needs\, we embark on a shared journey. We reshape ourselves & our relationships\, our economy\, the very way we do life. \n  \nCould we really see the challenge of these uncertain times\, as an opportunity to build the Blue Mountains’ community’s resilience? \n  \nPlease note: This is a “Pay What You Want or Can” event. Any payments made go directly to the workshop facilitator – juli. \n  \nTell me more! \nThe Offers and Needs Market (OANM)* is a guided process where community members come together to identify & exchange their passions\, knowledge\, skills\, resources & needs Whether for free\, barter\, or a set rate: each person controls the terms of exchange- not a system. Through OANM\, communities have uncovered what they thought was impossible. Participants have found employment and places to live\, started new businesses\, located items of need\, and initiated significant friendships. The process is a proven way to boost self-esteem and trust within communities\, while dramatically increasing the local sourcing of goods & services. \n  \nWe all have amazing things to offer. When we share what we have to offer\, life becomes simpler\, more enjoyable and more meaningful. \n  \nJuli is thrilled to be joined by Leanne Stevenson as tech wizard extraordinaire for our market. Leanne has experience with Ancient-Modern Marketplaces and is a passionate and attentive facilitator/ teacher. \nAs regards contribution\, we ask that you consider your position in the moneyed economy. There are many right now who do not have funds and we hope to be able to include everyone. So if you are one who is or was (now retired and comfortable) in the moneyed world\, kindly make a financial contribution so that collectively\, we can ensure that all are always able to CHOOSE to participate in a mutual aid marketplace. \nAll are welcome. No previous experience necessary. \nYou must register to attend! please RSVP here. \n  \n*Thanks to the Post Growth Institute for the foundations they paved with their original OANM structure. \n
