International Permaculture Day 2014

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

as one of the series of free mini-courses

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

EPT Partnership Workshop

direct mini-link >> www.bit.ly/EPTacademyPres We were delighted to have an opportunity, at the end of May 2014, to be invited to participate in one of the European Permaculture Teachers' Partnership workshop on Inclusion, via internet connection. This is Sandra (one of the participants in our workshop who helped to include us in the meeting) showing some of the results of a widening participation for permaculture courses survey that the EPT Partnership conducted. << Click picture for article of that day's work. We hadn't been able to go to any of the EPT site-meetings because it required a lot of travel which we aren't able to engage in, as all of us who are involved in the core team of the Academy are mostly locally-based permaculture activists doing intensive projects at home. Which describes quite well also the kinds of students we tend to attract, as we explained in this 12 minutes presentation about Inclusion for perma...
