11. may kl19:00with Alfred Decker
Permaculture is a holistic design system that works on social as well as the ecological structures. It is like a pair of glasses that allow you to see previously unseen possibilities: that rubble-filled urban lot as a food forest; your neighbourhood as a vibrant and resilient community; and yourself as part of a hugely complex web of life and the natural patterns which form the world around you.
We are living in an unprecedented time of crisis: climate chaos, economic recession, ecological collapse, the rise of far-right populism, and more. However, the Chinese symbol for crisis is a combination of the symbols danger and opportunity: despite the risks, there are now opportunities to build the world we want to live in, right here, right now, within the shell of the old world that is collapsing all around us. Permaculture is Solutionary and well-suited to engage with this time of danger and opportunity.
