Here are some photos from three wrokshops on the first week of the knowledge swap. Please note that not all workshops are on sustainable living themes as I did not want to turn anyone away (we live in a small community of 650 people.)

Next week I'll post more photos from more workshops including the Alternative Enegy day tour, the Sustainable Systems day tour and other sustainable living topics.
