Cultivating a Sustainable Life - ONLINE
Cultivating a Sustainable Life is a 4-week, virtual, co-ed circle in which we will explore the principles of permaculture and how we can apply those principles to our personal, intimate lives and practices. Permaculture is ecological design, patterned off of the wisdom of nature and and grounded in a commitment to ethical stewardship of the Earth and each other. It proposes alternative solutions to man-made, top-down, inorganic systems that seek to exploit and control the ecosystem, instead positioning humans as a keystone species in a web of life over which we have outsized influence - and a responsibility to protect.
