New Monthly Live with Permaculture Canada!

This week saw the first of a monthly series with Permaculture Canada. Cormac, Lindsay and Graham chatted about what they are doing in the garden and on their properties in November. You can watch that below:

We go live again in December to talk about buying seeds, indoor growing, and much much more. Join us LIVE to have your permaculture questions answered!

If you need help, you can get a consultation or design with Permaculture Canada:

Permaculture Gardening:

What are the 12 permaculture principles? This is a great place to start learning about the design principles. Applied to the garden is a great place to start, but as you learn you can apply these to your lifestyle, business and much more!

Crystal Heier goes through each principle below:

Permaculture Design:

This is a great offering from Hayley and Thriving with Nature. Use your permaculture expertise to teach others and help spread the permaculture wisdom you have gathered. This could provide a great side revenue for your homestead or permaculture design business!

Coming Soon

Matt Monger is up this week with a fascinating conversation and opportunity for permaculturists in the structural space! Sign up now so you don’t miss it!

Recommended Events This Week:

Check out this call with Alfred Decker and Rosemary Morrow.

We invite permaculturists from different corners of the planet to an open online conversation called, “Mediterranean Calling: sharing stories, experiences, and inspirations.”

The upheaval in the Middle East over the last year, the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and the hundreds of thousands of refugees currently seeking asylum in the European Union has focused international attention on the issue of mass migration. Many opportunities have opened for supporting displaced people; however, at the same time, the far right is using migration as its main issue and scare tactic, with success. And globally, while the needs of refugees are increasingly, funding for organisations supporting refugees is declining.

Permaculture for Refugees (P4R) is an international network with the aim of supporting refugees in transforming the places where they live — be these refugee camps or communities in receiving countries — into productive permaculture-designed communities, and ultimately equipping them for integration into society for the collective benefit of all.

P4R uses the term refugee interchangeably with asylum seekers, forced migrants, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and stateless persons. We recognise that this population has valuable knowledge and experience to share with others. As Eduardo Galeano said, “I don't believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people.”

The conversation will be hosted here in Spain at the Permaculture Teacher Training with Focus on Refugees. On the call will be some of the facilitation team and participants; Rosemary Morrow, co-founder of P4R, calling in from Australia; other people involved internationally in P4R. Anyone engaged in permaculture or who is interested in permaculture is welcome to join the call!

The participants and facilitators of the training are from different countries in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia and North America…it will be a very engaging and inspiring exchange. 

This event will take place on Saturday, November 9, at 10:30 Central European Time Zone.
