Introduction to permaculture and Sector39

This lecture is my contribution to an MA on Ecology and Spirituality here in UK, it is a summary of recent S39 work and a taster of what permaculture has to offer.

Not part of the PDC offical, but more a general talk on the work of S39 top set a context for the course

PDC trailer - learning from patterns in nature

This is a little taster from the up coming PDC, see if you find it interesting and the content comes over clearly. Do let us know how you get on.

Is this course for me? What is permaculture all about, is this going to be useful for our community?

Hopefully this video will give you a clearer idea.

Lecture 1: Ethics, values and entry to permaculture

Permaculture has a value system central to its workings, usually refered to as permaculture ethics. The intention here is to build a consensus around commonly held values and to find a way of expressing these in a clear an unambiguous way.

This lecture goes live on January 3rd 2023
