Great writing Steve, your stories are always eloquent and from the heart. One challenge for you - all the pioneers you list, Bill, David, Fukuoka, Robert, Arthur, Sepp - they're all men. I believe we need to challenge this pattern - find the equality & redress the imbalance. Just saying....
it is a fair point and in my lecture on this i reference several more contemporary female pioneers, but when looking back further i am scratching for names, a reflection of my own experience i guess
thanks Steve, we have shared similar journies and now I live relatively close to David Holmgren. I've been interviewing him and others about the very early days of permaculture. Ian
Happy to join you on this journey of yours that brought you to Permaculture. Eager to continue to read your words; isn’t it amazing that by observing and allowing nature to show us how, small and slow solutions can create more sustainable ways to be and exist not just for ourselves but for those around us too.
