Today on Sense-Making in a Changing World ([ Ссылка ]), I am thrilled to welcome Rosemary Morrow - a respected teacher of permaculture teachers around the world, an elder in the Permaculture movement and author of the permaculture classics:
Earth Users Guide to Permaculture ([ Ссылка ]), Earth Users Guide to Teaching Permaculture ([ Ссылка ]) and Permaculture Teaching Matters ([ Ссылка ]). Rosemary is also the co-founder of Permaculture for Refugees ([ Ссылка ]).
I would call much of what Rosemary does permaculture service work - offering permaculture education in some of the most challenging regions of the world - because that is where it is needed most. She has worked in places like Cambodia, Bangladesh Timor Leste, Kashmir, Uganda, Afghanistan and the Middle East and she only goes where she is invited. This is the 2/3 world - the 'edgey' places of society where permaculture is so valued for surviving and thriving with little. Permaculture on the edge is the theme of her most recent writings to be released as new chapters in the updated version of her book.
In our conversation Rowe and I explore permaculture education from so many angles. She sees its potential is profound and its application universal. Now, more than ever, she says we need to be teaching permaculture everywhere, and she encourages us to explore how to keep our permaculture thinking alive as we face an ever-changing world with cascading disasters like fire, COVID-19, climate change and economic collapse.
I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Rowe as much as I did and are inspired to deepen your permaculture knowledge and widen your permaculture teaching reach, and support new permaculture teaching communities to grow everywhere.
