Game of Thrones ended this week, but a far greater story that has spread around the world and inspired individuals and communities everywhere is the story of Permaculture. It's a story that shows us how we're an integral part of the natural world, and offers ethics and principles to apply to all our decision making moving forward. It's theoretical and practical and provides us with the tools to transform gardens, farms, landscapes, communities and social systems, to create a more resilient future for us all, and for all life.
Lis Bastian, from the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute and The Big Fix will be sharing this life-changing story with an Introduction to Permaculture at Rahamim Ecology Centre in Bathurst on Saturday and Sunday 29 & 30 June, 2019.
