Permaculture Design Companion with Jasmine Dale and Morag Gamble

In this episode of Sense-making in a Changing World  I am delighted to be speaking with Jasmine Dale - permaculture author, designer and educator as part of our special permaculture writers series.Jasmine's book is the Permaculture Design Companion: A practical workbook for integrating people and places  -  a step by step guide to applying permaculture in your own life, in any context. It combines creative and analytical activities with self reflection and observation. Published by Permanent Publications.Here's a link to one of Jasmine's articles - Developing Personal Resilience with Permaculture (Issue 107: pg 69) in Permaculture Magazine available until  June 18th 2023 Here's a link to another of Jasmine's articles - Permaculture Design in Practice in times of crisis. (Here is access to the whole Magazine issue free courtesy of Permaculture Magazine until June 18th 2023 - her article is on pages 45-46)In our conversation, Jasmine shares a wonderful story about how she discovered permaculture and about how doing a permaculture design course transformed her life. She also shares insights about being part of the founding group of Lammas - an off-grid ecovillage in wales -  where she cut her teeth as a permaculture educator - and this is where, with her husband, she build the famous hobbit house (which sadly burnt down a few years back).  Jasmine talks about her way of teaching, designing and applying permaculture thinking. Right now she mentors community groups with a focus on nature connection and basic skills for resilience.  Throughout the conversation, Jasmine shares such wonderful tips about writing and what you’ll find in her book the Permaculture Design Companion -  a step by step guide to applying permaculture in your own life . When I asked her about the kinds of permaculture books she things we need more of, her observation is that there is a great need for more books that cultivate greater levels of ecoliteracy, earth psychology and bigger picture thinking. Permaculture, she says, has also been something that keeps her sane and grounded, and is something she can offer to help others deepen their connection with nature, and for kindness to the planet. Enjoy!I'd love to hear from you.

Each conversation is a thread in a vast network of people speaking up for life with love and care. This podcast beams out from my hand-built solar-powered studio in the midst of a permaculture food forest in a permaculture ecovillage on Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi country.If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.
