The Permaculture Design Course is a life-affirming and transformative experience. A curriculum designed to create a shift in the participants, a watershed moment before and after in their lives. The changes needed to face up to the future scenarios before us are profound. Where can that energy, insight and drive come from? It has to be from within us.
In a build-up to our up and upcoming PDC, this discussion highlights how influencing one's inner world (Zone Zero) can have profound effects on external circumstances and the wider world, exemplified by Nelson Mandela's enduring ideas despite imprisonment.
The text also connects Zone Zero with Zone Five (wilderness/nature), suggesting that external inspiration and learning from nature directly impact one's internal state. Ultimately, the speaker advocates for a strategic approach to permaculture, beginning with personal empowerment before extending efforts outwards into other zones of influence.
We are currently planning a Full PDC, based at Treflach Farm, Oswestry, Shropshire. A partnership of head, hands and heart, connecting deep inner convictions with powerful and effective action. The link below provides more information.
