Hola permaculture people,
Hoping that everyone is well and thriving in this intense, challenging, and inspiring time of change for the world.
I wanted to first of all share the news for those of you who don’t know that I’m now a papa of two wicked cool twins, Terra and Liam. They are taking a break from working out in the gardens digging swales and hauling compost…
Aside from being a papa, I continue working to create an ecologically vibrant and socially just world.
This year my courses are focused more on social permaculture than before, including an urban and activist Permaculture Design Course (PDC) in Berlin; an Earth Activist Training (certified PDC with a grounding in spirit and a focus on organizing and activism) with Starhawk at Sieben Linden, one of Europe’s most inspiring ecovillages; Rise & Regenerate, a partially-funded training course in climate justice issues for youth workers; a Social Permaculture course at the Ulex Project; an Earth Activism & Social Permaculture course with Starhawk at the pioneering projects La Loma Viva (syntropic agriculture) and La Bolina (agro-ecology, permaculture and solidarity with refugees); and Teacher Trainings.
Thanks for helping me to share this news with your peeps and on your social media.
Here’s to building the world we want to live in, right here and now, within the shell of the old world that is collapsing around us…
Salud y permacultura,
Alfred
