Heirloom Seeds & Preparedness Gardening in the 21st Century
Kurt & Lucinda from Texas Ready
There are currently food, seed, and fertilizer shortages. Rationing food is a real possibility in the future. But you have the ability to be food self-sufficient right now and position yourself for maximum safety.
This workshop will teach you a science-based gardening method that maximizes yields while minimizing effort in any soil in any climate whether you plant in the ground or in raised beds.
It’s based on years of research by a renowned doctor and master gardener who ran a successful plant nursery for 20 years and then traveled the world educating people in 27 different countries on how to grow food more efficiently.
This method allows you to keep plants healthy by feeding them a custom-mixed fertilizer while making them less prone to disease and insect damage. Plus, it minimizes weeds.
And it can be used on a small scale by a home gardener or on a large scale by a mass market gardener.
After this one workshop, even complete beginners will be able to produce an abundant amount of food in their very first growing season. It’s the most important method every gardener can learn first, and for many others, it’s the last method they ever need.

Food Preservation and Storage
Kurt & Lucinda from Texas Ready
Growing food is the first step. Keeping food fresh and unspoiled so you can eat it for months or even years after growing it is the second step.
This workshop will teach you the essential techniques for preserving vegetables, fruits, meats, and cheese for a long time and ensure your food is safe and delicious when you’re ready to eat it.
You’ll discover proven methods for canning, dehydrating, freeze drying, pickling, fermenting, and more.
Plus, you’ll be given a crash course in properly storing the food you’re preserving and how to “rotate” the food in your pantry to ensure you use everything you store without wasting any of it.

How to Build a Food Forest
Taelor Monroe from Austin Permaculture Guild
Permaculture provides hundreds of ways to work smarter, not harder, by mimicking the genius of natural plant systems to create super productive food systems that use much less energy than conventional farming methods and produce higher yields.
This workshop will reveal a unique way to build thriving “food forests” even if you’re starting with just a single fruit tree.
The method revealed in this workshop is exclusively taught inside Permaculture Design Certificate courses, which range from $500 to $2,000.
It teaches you how to group certain plant species together to make the fruit tree naturally produce more fruit and ward off pests and diseases.
And you’ll learn what plants work best in your specific area.
Plus, you’ll even get some tips and tricks for building the best possible garden beds.
11:00
Land Patents & PMAs
Mike Colomb and Rob Gibson
Mike Colomb is an expert on Private Membership Associations and has been helping people legally do things like offer alternative medical care even in jurisdictions where Big Pharma and Big Medicine have lobbied against them. Or sell certain products such as raw milk even in jurisdictions where it’s technically illegal.
Ron Gibson is an expert on Land Patents and Allodial Titles and has been helping people legally restore their property rights, fight back against eminent domain, prevent their land from being taken even when the owner falls behind in property taxes, and more.
This workshop will break down the essential ins and outs of Private Membership Associations and Land Patents.
Then, Mike and Ron will open the floor for an open and unrestricted Q&A session where they will answer any and every question you have.
11:00
Track B – Breakout Room
Non-violent Communication, Community Agreements, and Self Work
Kenny Palurintano
Intentional communities can easily fail even if members share many of the same values but don’t know how to properly communicate with each other.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is the most powerful communication method for gently yet effectively getting what you want from others while respecting their autonomy and ensuring you treat others the way you would want to be treated.
This workshop will dive into the essential techniques of NVC that you can begin using immediately.
You’ll learn how to gain “consensus” in a group without coercion or argumentation.
You’ll gain a new appreciation for the power and importance of community building (and discover new ways to do it).
You’ll discover the truth about human tribal tendencies that no “individualist” can escape and how to use this side of human nature for freedom rather than domination.
You’ll hear real stories of communities that didn’t work and see exactly why they failed.
And you’ll hear stories of communities that are thriving and why they’re so successful.
Plus, you’ll be given a ton of tools and resources to continue your education in NVC.

Finding the Perfect Homestead Property Workshop
Curtis Stone
The perfect homestead for you does exist if you know what to look for and where to look.
This workshop will give you a proven framework used hundreds of times in dozens of different states, climates, geographies, and more across a range of budgets to help unique individuals and families find their perfect homestead property quickly every single time.
Curtis developed this framework over 10 years of helping his clients move to the country.
You’ll be given a detailed deep dive into the exact step-by-step process you can follow to understand the climate you want to live in, “read” the geography of the land you want to buy, find excellent sources of water (a key component in good homesteads), examine the socio-economics of the state and county you’re moving to, and so much more.
This will be a streamlined version of the process clients have paid thousands of dollars to use with Curtis one-on-one.
After it’s over, you’ll be ready to go and find the perfect homestead for you THIS YEAR or the next.
