Just last Wednesday in Seoul, South Korea, the inspiring Hiromi Ui, who came through Casa de Paz on a Tour ( http://livingpermaculture.blogspot.com/2015/06/gift-ecology-pilgrimage.html ) of Japanese permaculturists, held her first Awakin Circle in Seoul, where she lives! Having attended a Wednesday in Santa Clara and helped with several circles at Casa de Paz, she was already experienced and eager to pay the generosity forward to her community. One thing that stood out when she shared her photos with us was how closely she followed the Oakland Awakin style! The whole evening was candle-lit (we no longer use electric lights at night at Casa de Paz) and she and her friends made a meal for everyone that looked a lot like the part of the planet we call Mexico style food we serve every week! Complete with beans, guacamole and hand-made tortillas! Inspiring ripples from across the Pacific! So beautiful and according to her, it went really well and is likely to become a monthly event! <3
