International Permaculture Day 2014

PermaCultureDay.org

We celebrated International PermaCulture Day
again, with a bilingual talk (in English & Spanish)
that takes an integral perspective on this year's topic:

Food Freedom 
- now available as one of our
(CourseB)

On Sunday the 4th of May we started exploring this important topic in a more integral (radical, & for some, controversial) way than usual, exploring these different facets:



We had a great conference during which

we  questioned as many 

permacuture 'holy cows' as possible 

(which we called 'holy legumes' for the purpose of this conference, for reasons that will be revealed!)

in order to evolve the dialogue 

that we believe has gotten a little too stuck

around 'do gardening' as a proposed

solution to the most pressing problems

we face today, like climate-change.


We don't believe it comes even close,

& that more realistic solutions in fact are

available, & that they are 

even more exciting,

more hopeful &

a lot more fun than we ever imagined.


& the most exciting part is that we get to question

some very deeply held beliefs 

(in fact our whole cultural paradigm).



This conference is now available




1) The food freedom of other species
2) The food that most liberates our environment
3) Food that liberates the human mind and body
4) How not to be enslaved to addictions
and of course (the perspective usually focused on)
5) How to free our Food from the Multinationals






& refers to
many resources
already available
in the Integral PermaCulture

DeColonizing Permaculture

Stella & Jose of the Integral PermaCulture Academy contributed to the latest Permaculture Design Magazine which was all about Decolonizing Permaculture , a very important consciousness that is now emerging with more force in the permaculture movement, and something we are proud to have incorporated into the Integral Permaculture curriculum since its beginnings.  See some of the story of that, below. Also included is an interview of Stella by our dear colleague Derrick Jensen for his Resistance Radio Program , all about Integral Permaculture.   Permaculture = Relationship We are writing this from colonized Benawara (renamed La Palma after the Awara people were exterminated and absorbed more than 500 years ago in the Spanish conquest of the Canary Islands).  In this article we mention a few of the cultural patterns we noticed we carry as colonialist people.  There are many, but one way of describing several of them, in terms of how we thi...
