Nature Connection & Observation for Permaculturalists

Permaculture design invites us to observe deeply before we interact. By learning to read the language and story told in the weather, bird calls, animal tracks, trees, plants, and waters, we begin to understand how all these elements weave together into a living ecological story, one that we are part of. When we slow down and reconnect with this deeper awareness, we step into our role as conscious participants in the unfolding story of the land. This kind of observation transforms how we design our gardens, farms, homes, communities, and villages—and empowers the way we walk through the world, foraging our unique paths and visions.

Join permaculture and nature mentor Chris Gilmour (from Chris Outdoors ) for an evening of inspiration, learning, and exploration of lifeways that connect us deeply with the story of the land, and how this awareness can inform and transform our design practices.
