This month we’ll have two Permaculture stars from around the world:
.
Permangola is an exchange bringing together permaculturists and capoeristas. The idea is Cobra Mansa’s, a Capoeria Master based in Brazil, and he will be here to talk about the solidarity and spirit of Capoeria and the hope he sees in bringing together this with the ethics and practical disciplines of permaculture in our current day quest for survival. If we’re lucky we may also get to see this beautiful art form, and hear its music !
.
Jillian Hovey is an experienced international permaculture teacher and a facilitator of regenerative whole systems design. In 1999, she founded the Sustainable Living Network in Toronto and serves as its Executive Director. Jillian has taught and been involved with a wide range of projects across Canada, in the United States, Central America, the UK, Europe, and the Middle East.

Design thinking is what unites the forces of the Individual with those of the Earth and the Community. On these four workshops we will explore the dimensions of holistic design, integrating the social, ecological, economic and worldview aspects to build bridges between these disciplines and relate them back to the concept of sustainability and the vision of a permanent culture. We will explore participatory tools that empower us to take local action within our own communities and workplaces to contribute towards building global resilience.
