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. 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! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This podcast is an initiative of the Permaculture Education Institute.
Our way of sharing our love for this planet and for life, is by teaching permaculture teachers who are locally adapting this around the world - finding ways to apply the planet care ethics of earth care, people care and fair share. We host global conversations and learning communities on 6 continents.
We teach permaculture teachers, host permaculture courses, host Our Permaculture Life YouTube, and offer free monthly film club and masterclass.
We broadcast from a solar powered studio in the midst of a permaculture ecovillage food forest on beautiful Gubbi Gubbi country. I acknowledge this is and always will be Aboriginal land, pay my respects to elders past and present, and extend my respect to indigenous cultures and knowledge systems across the planet.
