On a trip to Guatemala, a friend introduced me to a unique outdoor classroom, a learning lab of sorts, for those interested in sustainable agriculture. It's located on the shores of Lake Atitlan, a beautiful volcanic lake in the central highlands. IMAP https://imapermaculture.org/ is short for the Mesoamerican Permaculture Institute and was founded by local people to showcase the ancestral knowledge of food production in the area, which is known for a rich diversity of seeds and plants. Since the lake is situated between the tropical lowlands and the cloud forests, it is an area filled with exotic plants. Ronny Lec is one of the founders of IMAP, which started over 20 years ago. He explained that much diversity in plants and seeds has been lost to monoculture farming practices. IMAP is hoping to stem the loss by educating local farmers of the value of the biodiversity which is unique to this lakeshore region. Learn More

Envisioning a world under the principles of permaculture or ancient knowledge with Penny Livingston. She is recognized as a prominent permaculture teacher, designer, and speaker. She holds a -MS in Eco-Social Regeneration and 3 diplomas in Permaculture Design. Penny has also been studying the Hermetic Tradition of alchemy and herbal medicine making in Europe, Indonesia, and the United States. She has sat on the board of the Permaculture Institute of North America as well as, the Building Appeals Board for the County of Marin. She was also a founding board member for the Redwood Empire Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council. And a founding member of the Regenerative Design Institute.And has studied, taught with, hosted, and learned directly from Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, co-founders of Permaculture.Penny has been teaching internationally and working professionally in the land management, regenerative design, and permaculture development field for over 25 years and has extensive experience in all phases of ecologically sound design and natural construction. She specializes in site planning and the design of resource-rich landscapes integrating all its elements. She has taught hundreds of Permaculture Design Certification courses worldwide in addition to advanced courses. She has co-created many programs and their curriculums, pieces of training, colloquiums, and has been featured in several films.
Bill Mollison, the “Father of Permaculture,” has truly left the world a better place than he found it. As co-founder of the system of Permaculture with David Holmgren , he created a holistic design system that emulates systems that exist in Nature to create sustainable human settlements and food production systems which integrate harmoniously with the natural environment. Bill developed the Permaculture Institute and a formalized system for training Permaculture practitioners. His pioneering work had a broad and far-reaching global influence, directly impacted hundreds of thousands of lives, and indirectly affecting many millions more worldwide in a profound and positive way.Learn more about Bill Mollison, watch the videos and read the show notes on this episode here >This is most likely the first of many episodes to share about Bill Mollison in his amazing video series, 'Global Gardener'. Global Gardener is a documentary film series about the permaculture approach to sustainable agriculture. Bill Mollison presents the series' four episodes—"In the Tropics", "Dry Lands", "Cool Climates", and "Urban"—each of which addresses the application of permaculture principles in a different environmental context. I highly encourage you to watch all the videos, but here is the audio to learn from Bill's wisdom while in your garden or hammock - where the permaculture designer becomes a recliner ;) I will now let Bill speak for himself with a few of my favorite quotes...“The impetus for the work I do is to leave our children gardens, not deserts.” – Bill Mollison “Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos.” ― Bill Mollison, Introduction to Permaculture “The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves.” ― Bill Mollison, Permaculture: A Designers' Manual"I teach self-reliance, the world's most subversive practice. I teach people how to grow their own food, which is shockingly subversive. So, yes, it's seditious. But it's peaceful sedition."― Bill MollisonPermaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system― Bill Mollison“Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.” ― Bill MollisonLearn more about Bill Mollison, watch the videos and read the show notes on this episode here >- - -Disclaimer: This is another episode exploring different themes in Permaculture and related fields with audio clips, interviews & anything else we can find.

In this episode we speak with Isaac's permaculture teacher Darrell Frey, of Three Sister's Permaculture, and the Permaculture Institute of North America about growing up drinking out of springs, snacking on cucumber root and trout fishing in the forests of Pennsylvania, of meeting Bill Mollison and getting inspired to start his own permaculture project, building a bioshelter (and what that is.) We also talk about finding a fungus that eats thripps, aphids and whiteflies, and how he would culture it to keep the bioshelter free of pests. We talk about ecological succession, and how Goldenrod can keep a prairie in a holding pattern for decades by inhibiting the germination of tree seeds. We also talk about the amazing, ancient forest gardens of French Creek in NW PA, and about forest gardening.

This is a great conversation this week on the Seeds of Tao Podcast. We are talking with Joe Nisbett, a permaculture student of Geoff Lawton and recent graduate from grad school as he seeks to find his place between the edge culture of permaculture, and mainstream society.

This is such a great analogy. We have had many guests on the podcast, and all of them talk about their awakening to permaculture as a life-changing event. It is so life-changing, in fact, that many people will drop their previous career or lifestyle goals, and pivot to go after new dreams of homesteading regenerative farming, and eco-villages. Sometimes their permaculture epiphany will lead them to almost completely removing themselves from society... Read the full post at SeedsofTao.com
Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast My guest today is Rony Lec of the Mesoamerican Permaculture Institute (Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura – IMAP) in Guatemala. I first became aware of Rony years ago through my friends at the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute, but what I knew up until he and I sat down barely revealed the depth and breadth of his exploration and implementation permaculture. He leverages decades of experience applying permaculture to indigenous agricultural methods, and combines work, outreach, and activism into a cohesive approach to teaching and design. The conversation which follows progresses from his early days of discovering permaculture through Ali Sharif and studying with Geoff Lawton, to his current work building networks and native food products. He also shares his concerns about land access, food sovereignty, and political will in Mesoamerica. Find out more about Rony and his work at imapermaculture.org. Become a Patreon of The Permaculture Podcast Buy the show a cup of coffee Just as interviews end far too soon, it is also difficult to encapsulate the thoughts that remain after a conversation that ranges as widely as this and touches on issues bigger than our individual practices. What I enjoy, at this moment, is Rony's efforts to educate students about what permaculture is and is not. For those people in the countries he serves, to share the ways that permaculture can be applied to indigenous practices and can be viewed as something for them, not just for foreigners. For those of us who have studied permaculture, the advice to listen, slow down, and remain humble in the face of experience and the intersection with our permaculture knowledge and exuberance. But, that's just one lesson from this time together. What did you learn? Let me know by leaving a comment in the show notes or send me an email: The Permaculture Podcast.

Jerome Osentowski and Taylor Algers call-in from the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute to provide an update as to their operations during this time of pandemic. Their conversation focuses on strengthening the immune system and incorporating permaculture practices for community resiliency.
In this episode, I'm meeting with Kevin Bayuk, co-founder of the Urban Permaculture Institute San Francisco (UPISF). They strive to make permaculture design relevant and accessible to people living in cities for individual and community resilience. We're talking about how to create resilient communities in the time of climate chaos, the history and principles of permaculture, how UPISF is making permaculture more accessible to everyone, remembering ourselves as nature through promoting eco-literacy and the distorted paradox of our current food system and everything we can do to change it. Host is Elise Johanson. For updates follow Elise Vega.
I'm sure you'll enjoy this rich, deep yet lively second conversation with Jason Gerhardt (first chat was here). Jason directs the USA's Permaculture Institute and Real Earth Design. As it turns out we continue exploring the ordering framework I introduced in Episode 24. Here's the framework diagram, slightly updated thanks to a suggestion from Bill Reed. Or download as pdf here. Oh yeah I also mention this recent recreate of Making Permaculture Stronger's purpose that Joel Glanzberg helped me with and that uses the pattern I explored with Bill Reed here: MPS inspires creative exploration and dialogue around permaculture design in a way that develops our ability to think and act creatively as and with community to effect the large scale systemic change we need. Oh yeah Jason mention this amazing white paper on the four levels of Regenerative Agriculture by Ethan Roland Soloviev & Gregory Landua. I can't believe I haven't read this yet. Do check it out if you've not seen it and leave a comment telling me what you make of it. I also mentioned the Permaculture Home Garden by Linda Woodrow.

SUBSCRIBE: WWW.EARTHREPAIRRADIO.COM In this episode we explore the climatic design tools used by Dave's Permaculture design firm, Terra-Phoenix. Dave has been planning Permaculture properties all over the world and has developed methods for assessing the "climate analogue" of an area. He uses his climate analogue identification process to find other places in the world with remarkably similar conditions. This has enabled him to create plant assemblages that are productive and resilient, building designs that are appropriate and efficient, and master plans that will withstand the test of time. We discuss climate change forecasts, invasive and rampant species, and much more!

IN THIS PODCAST: Previous guest Colin Walker goes further into ecology-centered concepts and describes the key points he has developed to focus on growing better foods. He has taken years of experience, research, and study and compiled it into six key focal points that will help any gardener or farmer produce healthier, more nutrient rich foods. Don't miss an episode! Click here to sign up for weekly podcast updates Colin grew up in a rural community near Auckland, New Zealand, and learned the basics of growing by helping his grandfather maintain a small flower market garden. Initially, he went to college to study economics, however after some course changes, he turned to interests a little closer to his roots. He got involved in and has had leadership roles in several areas of natural agriculture including establishing the Permaculture Institute of New Zealand, taking on advisory and advocacy roles for seed preservation with independent & government organizations, and even served as a national coordinator of a National Organic Advisory Programme. Colin's concentrations have been on permaculture, ecology centered design, seed preservation, conservation of traditional/heirloom food plants, garden education and most recently investigating (from an ecology perspective) the essential elements needed to guarantee that the food we grow is actually nutrient-rich.

233: Colin Walker on Gardening with Ecology at its Heart Focusing on a larger picture to understand how to effectively grow a good garden. In this podcast: Part one of two with Colin Walker, a long-time gardener and educator from New Zealand, who helps explain a gardening concept that brings the world into focus while looking at the garden bed. The decades of experience and know-how are evident in this conversation about how an ecology-centered viewpoint is so important to successful gardening. Don't miss an episode! Click here to sign up for weekly podcast updates Colin grew up in a rural community near Auckland, New Zealand, learning the basics of growing by helping his grandfather maintain a small flower market garden. Much later, he helped to establish the Permaculture Institute of New Zealand. In the 1980s and 90s, he spent time in the US, Australia, Ireland, and England. Returning home, he learned about the principles of ecology-centered design from Dennis Scott, an innovative designer, landscape architect, and resource management consultant Colin's focus then turned to the conservation of traditional/heirloom food plants in New Zealand. He spent 16 years supporting local and national seed preservation initiatives by practical "growing out" hundreds of seed lines, managing research projects, running internship programmes, and taking on advisory and advocacy roles for this issue with independent & government organizations. In 2010, he returned to Northland to create a long-term home for him, his wife, and five sons. With six years of research and experimentation completed, investigating from an ecology perspective the essential elements needed (and how to practically work with them!) to guarantee that the food we grow is actually nutrient-rich, Colin's ready to share results!

Penny is a long time permaculture practitioner and teacher who operates the Regenerative Design Institute in Bolinas, California. RDI is located at the 17-acre Commonweal Garden. I've been aware of Penny and her work since I started formally studying permaculture five years ago, and she has remained one of the most suggested guests for the show, often by her former students who have themselves appeared on the podcast. I think I've talked to more people who have studied with her than of any other permaculture instructor thus far. When this interview was originally scheduled Penny and I talked about using her work in international permaculture as a focus for our discussion, but instead turned towards the idea of peacemaking. Drawing from her experiences using permaculture and ceremony for conflict resolution we discuss the need for inner landscape work in order to build community and move the practice of permaculture forward. Or, to put it another way, how we have to get right with ourselves so that we can better our use of the ethics and principles to create lasting change that cares for this planet we call home and all the inhabitants. She is clear to point out, however, that permaculture as a design system is not a metaphysical one, nor does she include those ideas in her teaching, rather that a deep exploration into natural systems invites a further examination of our connection to the world around us and the nature of life and other living beings. These ideas set the overall tone for our conversation, but we also discuss the need for experimentation and the cultivation of useful skills. This interview, though not planned as such, serves as a buffer and connection about the discussion of right livelihood embodied in the two segments of the recent round table conversation recorded at Seppi Garrett's, of which the next piece is out on June 24, 2015. My only regret is that in this recording there is a bit of noise at some points, but they do not detract from the breadth or meaning of what Penny shares with us. You can find out more about Penny Livingston-Stark, the Regenerative Design Institute, and Commonweal Garden at regenerativedesign.org and commonweal.org. If you are interested in the Permaculture Institute of North America, that website is at pina.in. Penny also wanted me to share with you that she has an upcoming Permaculture Design Course that will be taught in cooperation with The Kul Kul Farm at The Green School in Bali from August 7 - 23, 2015. So that you might learn more about The Green School site, I've included a pair of videos below including one from John Hardy, a co-founder of this organization, and one from his daughter, Elora. https://kulkulfarmbali.com/bali-permaculture-design-course/ I'm still mulling over this conversation with Penny and the round table with Ben Weiss, Dave Jacke, and Charles Eisenstein. There is a thread here that touches on some of my own challenges as a changemaker, but there is still more to hear on this before I share my thoughts about everything at the end of next week's show. Until then get in touch and let me know about your journey and where you are. or email: The Permaculture Podcast. Coming up I'll be a guest instructor at Jude Hobb's Teacher Training, in cooperation with Beyond Organic Design, the evening of Sunday June 28, 2015, at the Commons in Brooklyn. There are still spaces available for this class that runs from June 24 - 30, 2015. More information about that is at beyondorganicdesign.org. August 20 - 23 I'll be at Radicle Gathering in Bowling Green, Kentucky, running a Permaculture question and answer session on Friday afternoon, a community vision workshop on Saturday morning, and delivering the Saturday night keynote address. If you are in the area come out and join in the fun of workshops, live music, and a whole bunch of people coming together to explore how to build resilient communities. radiclegathering.org. September 12, 2015 I'll be at the Riverside Project recording a live permaculture round table. September 18 I return to the Mother Earth News Fair in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania to check out this year's event and hang out with Tradd Cotter. More details on those two as I get closer to those events. If you are an organizer who would like me to come cover or speak at your event, drop me a line through the usual means. That gonna wrap this episode. I'll join you next week to close up that round table. Until then, take care of earth, your self, and each other.
