Principles to Regenerate the Land and Enrich Our Groups

Date: Sat Oct 25th 2014
Venue: The Mill, 7-11 Coppermill Lane, Walthamstow, London, E17 7HA.
Time: 10.45am-5pm

Limited Places. Advance Booking ONLY.

For anyone involved with sustainability or ecology and involved with people – such as members of a Transtion Town; Climate action group; Community gardening; Co-operative; or you’re just curious about permaculture and working in groups…

Permaculture is a practical system for regenerating the earth and communities. By drawing on principles and patterns in nature, permaculture has empowered people worldwide to develop dynamic, resilient projects that work with nature, rather than against it. Whether the home and garden,  community space or one’s own life and career, permaculture can be applied to each situation.

This 1-day workshop is about ecological and social healing. It will give a taste of both permaculture and working with social diversity.  Together we will explore and open up ways to work together effectively, to recognise our differences and our common ground, and to discover how permaculture and contemporary group approaches can support our vision to co-create more conscious, real and productive relationships between one another and the land.

The exact content of the workshop is to be finalised and potential areas include:

• What is permaculture?
• Intro to permaculture ethics & principles
• Social permaculture: Nature in us
• Diversity: Feeling in our own shoes, and stepping into the shoes of the other
• Conflict: an opportunity for growth
• Strategies for collaborative decision making

Fee: £20 /£12 concessionary rate – limited number ( e.g. Full time students; On benefits, State pension etc. Waltham Forest residents only). Also two £5 places on application (see below)
