Dialogue

For those who want & can follow as much of the conference online & live, we meet day to day (our 'common circle') in an ongoing Skype conference that we use to stay in touch between workshops, send instant messages, etc.

In order to have as much of an INTERACTIVE experience as possible and especially for the longer-term*  - which is very important if we are to IMPLEMENT some of the ideas in a sustainable & cooperative way - 
we have set up the 
 as a meeting place.

It's a resource that disappears when not used!

Please link to other dialogues or share as much HISTORY as you can so that we can move on, including (& transcending) past experience. 



"Protracted and thoughtful 
observation 
rather than protracted 
and thoughtless 
action."

New Free MiniCourses

The Mission of the Academy is to offer high quality training in Permaculture Design.    To that end we have created a series of unique action learning programs in Integral Permaculture which cover all aspects that we need to understand (& especially how to connect them all) for a transition toward a sustainable society. For this reason we especially enjoy making ever more accessible & inclusive this wonderful science which is so critically important today, & we are delighted now to have these three free initiatives to broadcast this knowledge as widely as possible:     *** NEW *** The Integral PermaCulture Designers' Manual online, started in Spanish in 2007, now bilingual, to which we are constantly adding new multimedia content.

In this newsletter we focus on the experiences of some of the interns trying out the new course format in the 8thLife project in the Canary Islands , and some of the design work that has been done while they took their PDC* on site.   (*Permaculture Design Certificate) This is an ongoing programme now, and we will be starting these internships also in Al Haman, in Almeria soon.
