*Inspired by Permaculture, the collaborative space of Island serves as a node in the greater US and international movement, providing encounters with social movements oriented around issues of social and environmental justice, wellness and dispossession. Our events incorporate intentional creativity, play, and experimentation in cultivating a prismic view of the behaviors and ideas that may cause harm and may change our world for the better.
