ONLINE Permaculture Topics: Local Action for Systemic Healing

Helena Norberg-Hodge, bestselling author, filmmaker, and pioneer of the new economy movement, shares her experiences working with Indigenous cultures and explores how localization not only heals people and places but also addresses major issues like climate change, food security, and social fragmentation. In this September 24, 2024 Point of Relation interview, she discusses the fundamental importance of reconnecting with nature, local food systems, and community as antidotes to the damaging impacts of globalization.

To clarify - for these discussions, we watch/listen to/read material ahead of time and then discuss it. The authors or speakers are not joining us - we are talking about their work ourselves.

In our Permaculture Topics Discussions & Book Studies, we aim to expand our knowledge of topics related to permaculture and to have an ongoing series where members can connect to build our community. This series has a particular focus on "social/societal permaculture." Since Spring 2020, we've been especially engaging with topics such as: people care, story, right relationships, new economics, community resilience, honoring indigenous knowledge, strength in diversity, and forests & gardens as teachers.
