In some parts of the world, traditional herbal remedies are the norm.  When we  think of natural remedies we tend to think of older generations living in remote areas, in far away  countries,  with little access to modern healthcare.  We rarely think about the ancient medicinal plants that might exist in our very own cities.

He has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, based on years of experience in learning about the Red Road. Here are some of the topics he shared on this interview:The importance of food in native life, including a discussion about food forests vs gardens. How the “grain culture” has had such a great impact on our world. Plants and animals as “elder relatives.”Egosystem vs ecosystem. How colonization created cognitive dissonance.Everything is connected and how each elder relative has something to teach us, some particular kind of medicine.Dan shares some wonderful animal stories, including two versions of a creation story about how Turtle Island, or America, was formed.How to live with an abundance mindset, using give-aways and plantings, to create an economy based on nature.We all chose to be here now because we each have medicine to give. We are here to bring hope in this time of great transition.Daniel Wahpepah grew up immersed in American Indian Movement culture and traditional ways. His father is a spiritual leader and his uncle founded the West Coast AIM. Dan switched schools 18 times as he traveled extensively with his father, learning about the Red Road. He eventually landed on the reservation where he participated and held an officer's position in ceremony at the age of 18. He eventually moved away from the rez and now lives in Oregon on Rogue/Shasta unceded territories.Dan is a trained permaculture designer as well as an esteemed teacher, consultant, and speaker about native American ways.

Sarah is a Mother of 3, a Chemical Engineer, Homesteader, Permaculture Designer, and a Nutritional Herbalist. In her 20s, chronic pain and dis-ease started her search outside the conventional medical system. Just as she was making these changes, she was T-boned at 60mph and developed intense chronic invisible pain. No more musical instruments, no more picking up her babies, no more laughing really hard at jokes. After exploring different modalities, she began studying with an Alexander Technique teacher to learn how to move and hold her body more intentionally. Then she discovered Vitalist Herbalism and began studying to become a Master Herbalist. Sarah believes that given the right nutrition and open cleansing pathways, the body CAN and DOES heal itself. Pulling in the other healing modalities to heal the mind and heart, creating more intentional movement through life, and cleaning up one's home environment, really bring it all together.

Scott Gallant The second half of my initial conversation with Scott Gallant from Porvenir Design where Scott asks me questions about my facilitatory approach to professional design consultancy work. Enjoy and if you missed episode 41 I'd recommend checking that out first. Also a heads up that in my next chat with Scott we'll be reviewing Porvenir Design's Holistic Context you can check out in advance here.

I was delighted when Scott Gallant from Porvenir Design emailed me earlier in the year: Hi Dan,I wanted to reach out and introduce myself after having (finally!) stumbled upon the MPS project. I just wrapped up listening to the Phase 2 podcast and I am all in!A quick jot about myself, my name is Scott Gallant and I am a permaculture designer and educator based in Costa Rica. I've been deep in this field for 10 years, 8 of which were spent managing a farm and building out my curriculum at a well regarded site called Rancho Mastatal. In the last few years I've been full time in the design/install business here in Latin America with my firm, Porvenir Design. Tropical agroforestry and permaculture education are really my burgeoning areas of expertise. I've had the chance to lead or co-teach 14 PDCs and countless short courses, and have been fortunate enough to be interviewed for a number of podcasts over the last few years. I set this scene to let you know that I am all in, although I resonate deeply with your message of approaching permaculture from a skeptics background.For the last few years I've been obsessed with the pedagogy of teaching PDCs and the process of design in my client based work. Incrementally, and sometimes abruptly, I tweak these process. I've also felt quite surprised by the lack of conversations around these topics and have constantly been pulled toward constructive critiques of permaculture. Clearly, the bubble of permaculture in Central America and perhaps to some degree North America has not been invaded by the MPS project.So, first, thank you for your work. It is essential to, well, making permaculture stronger. Second, I'm interested in getting more involved. I'm slowly making my way through some past posts and will continue to do so over the weeks ahead. If you have any suggestions for involvement they are much appreciated. And third, I am quite interested in mentorship in the field of professional design and education. At the full peak age of 33, I find myself seeking mentorship in order to continue helping students and clients truly dive into the permaculture domain with confidence. In this community that you've formed, are there any obvious routes for some form of mentorhsip?Apologies for the long message. Love the work and looking forward to dipping in.Scott Gallant In his second email Scott continued: As I've been listening I am really quite curious to learn more about how folks actually implement these ideas with clients, how this changes the teaching within a PDC for inspired instructors, etc. I have a client visit in Puerto Rico soon; outcome will be a concept plan for bringing back to life the family farm and converting an old church on the property into some public facing bar/restaurant/distillery.  The outcome is far from a detailed master plan, but rather will involve a day of visioning/goal setting with stakeholders, two days on the site, and then creating a planning document that provides broad patterns for access, land use suitability, water/soil/plant systems, and recommendations on phasing, species, further resources, etc. I give you this context, because I am most interested in using this project to trial out some of these new ideas from MPS, BUT the actual action of, say, "unfolding the potential of a site's essence" or "starting from a whole" alludes me a bit. Part of me believe this deeper ability can only be brought forth through years of practice/mentorship and such. Part of me wonders if this is more or less what I already do with clients.I would love to brainstorm how to take what others and myself do now as professional designers/installers and apply these ideas to go from good to great. When I read the comments I don't see too much where others are saying, "Wow, I've been doing this upside down and need to completely change my practice." It seems like folks are on the same page theoretically, but for professional permaculture designers and educators,

Episode 153: Put down that shovel and start a no-till perennial garden! In this fun and informative interview, Permaculture Designer and Teacher Morag Gamble shares her tips about how to create an abundant and thriving organic oasis. Morag's garden in Queensland, Australia has more than 200 plants. In this episode she shares some of her favorites with us including Sweet Potato and Pumpkin. Did you know that you can eat the leaves of both? We focus on soil health and how to build fertility through feeding the soil, why multifunctional perennial plants are a good choice for any garden, how to grow living mulches, and why it's important to eat root to shoot. We delve into Morag's in situ composting methods that enliven the soil onsite and learn how to brew Comfrey Tea that is beneficial for plants and a potent soil activator. We also talk about what makes plants "Permaculture plants" and why they  are good bets for your new or existing garden. Working with the principles found in nature, you can start and maintain a beautiful and healthy organic garden that benefits not only you and your family, but also the wildlife in your yard. More about Morag: Morag Gamble is the founding director of the Permaculture Education Institute. You can watch her videos online at her YouTube Channel and read her articles at Our Permaculture Life. Morag offers many courses, including a Permaculture Gardening Course called The Incredible Edible Garden. Morag lives at Crystal Waters. You can learn more about this award-winning eco village here. Note: Our interview was recorded before the devastating fires in Australia. I spoke with Morag recently about the fires and will be posting that conversation as an episode soon. Until then, here's a link to the Ethos Foundation that will support communities in need, by offering free permaculture education once the fires settle. Through the program, participants will work on connecting with their community, creating collective projects like community gardens and focus on regenerating and rebuilding – creating resilient food gardens and wildlife gardens, creating bushfire-safe landscapes and homes with a permaculture design approach. They will also activate teams to help build gardens where needed – permablitz in bushfire communities.

This one is a bit different as it is a mash up with two former guests - Sarah and Peter discuss genetic engineering, food supplies and the future (without me being in the interview).  The two of them have different views on genetic engineering which came out in the interviews I had with each of them.  So I invited them back to interview each other and this is the result!

I’m talking with an organization that is helping with reducing our community’s dependence on fossil fuels and INCREASING LOCAL RESILIENCE TO THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE! This environmental organization is also making it really easy for PEOPLE TO LAUNCH THEIR PROJECTS. They’ve helped to establish the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, Car Stops, Eco Home Tours, solar panels on the high school’s roof, Rainbow Road Pool Allotment Garden on Salt Spring island and so much more… This organization is the Transition Salt Spring Society (which by the way is different from the Transitions House & second hand shop on the island). They’re apart of a global organization that is HELPING COMMUNITIES BRING THEIR DREAMS of a new resilient culture to the forefront! In this show we’re talking about: By SURROUNDING OURSELVES WITH PEOPLE who are inspired about the future, it rekindles our own inspiration! How shifting from hopelessness (about environmental issues) and changing how we think and act INCREASES THE POTENTIAL OF CHANGE into a flourishing future. HOW YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT can be supported into it's full realization with the help of this organization. How to CREATE THIS TYPE OF SOCIETY in your home town. Anne Parkinson is the chair of the board of directors of the Transition Salt Spring Society. She is also a Registered Professional Biologist.

My good, old (in time, not age) friend, Doug Crouch and I catch up on the world of permaculture and his new incarnation of it, along with all things pawpaw in this episode of Wander, Forage, & Wildcraft. Doug's the owner of TreeYo Permaculture and has been managing his family's land at Treasure Lake in Petersburg, Kentucky for pawpaws and spicebush for 17 years now! He'll tell us all about what he's learned over those years about propagating and nurturing spicebush for the best yield. If you don't know what a pawpaw is (the largest native North American fruit) or want to grow some of your own, or are just curious, then this is the show for you! ​Doug's Bio: Trained as both a Permaculture Designer and Fish and Wildlife Manager, Doug has extensive knowledge surrounding landscape planning and food production systems. This regenerative design and implementation work spans the globe ranging in contexts and climates, including tropical agro-forestry, Mediterranean organic gardening, and temperate suburban edible landscaping. To facilitate this work he founded TreeYo Permaculture, thus building off his other formal training in small business management. Incorporating this knowledge and experience into sustainability educational programming has now become Doug’s main focus as he continues his ecological design and holistic development primarily at Treasure Lake in Northern Kentucky and its bioregion. If you're intrigued to learn more, join Doug and me at Planting Abundance, a day long learning adventure at Treasure Lake on May 18th.

My guest today is Ben Falk. Ben is a really incredible permaculture designer with a comprehensive focus. Ben runs a planning firm called Whole Systems Design. Through this firm, he "identifies, designs, and develops human habitats - landscape and infrastructure systems - that yield perennial abundance and enduring value. These are adaptive, resilient and secure places in a future of peak oil, climate instability, and deepening economic insolvency." They also "plan, develop, and manage land-based wealth preservation and security projects for those with the forethought to invest an abundance of present day resources to reduce their familly's vulnerability to future food, energy and other supply-chain disturbances, as well as peak-oil, climatic, economic and other events." The interview covers a variety of topics, including: Ben's path from architecture to comprehensive design. How to approach personal lifestyle design from a systems mindset. How to prioritize needs and investment. How he heats his house, heats his water, cooks his food, and dries his clothes in Vermont with a very small amount of wood. How he grows 80 to 90% of his food intake. My favorite quote from the interview: "Don't fight something that's wrong. Make a new system that makes the old system obsolete." Enjoy!
