On Friday’s I write – but there’s nothing to report
Sluggish. That’s a good word for right now. It has been a week of boring backwork! Accounts, volunteering administration using the new and frankly not so fantastic “Beneficiary Tool” platform from the EU and a lot of late night hours and whatsapp chat preparing information, promotional material for the festival. I have put pressure on myself to write at this time each week, and that unveils the reality that sometimes you really don’t feel like it! So I’ll animate myself a bit by sharing two exciting things, and will step away from the computer to nourish myself with breakfast, meditation and yoga.
I love to hate Facebook, but last night it was my ally. I saw that Rob Hopkins is in Barcelona! This led to a few fun things, firstly I invited him to our Poble Sec eco-meet jajaja I’ll post a photo if he shows up 🙂 Secondly I contacted a new friend the lovely Eller Everett, Circular Economy researcher and daugher of Rob Hopkins’ permaculture teacher. She didn’t have any more information about what Rob is up to on his visit, but she did tell me that Kate Raworth is coming to Barcelona on the 11th June! As you may know she is one of my favourite people on this planet (I have a LOT of favourite people!) So I’ll look up the information and share it with you all and hopefully see you there. Barcelona is a wonderful city; a history of anarchism and a future of regenerative urban design!
Interestingly I also have an invitation to visit Planeses, a rural Regenerative Agriculture project with a successful LIFE funding project behind them that day. Two incredible events, one rural and one urban at the same time! Where will me and baby Jo go?

And I can’t get on with my day without mentioning Maranya Festival – Come and join us 24-26 June at WildLab permaculture farm 1 hour outside Barcelona. I love this picture from last year – excellent book selection including Rob Hopkins of course!
The wonderful Maranya Festival!! Sign up and come and join us 🙂
