Nomads & Renters

A colloquium on
living sustainably without owning land

How do we live sustainably in an era where land ownership is out of reach? This is not a rhetorical question or one for intellectual contemplation. This is a very real question and has many equally real answers. This monthly conversation will bring together folks who have struggled with and found practical solutions to living sustainably as nomads and renters.

When and how to attend

  • Attend a live Zoom session the 2nd Monday of each month.
  • Watch the recorded event in our virtual community space
  • Listen to the conversation as a podcast

“If permaculture isn’t a solution for the poor and urban areas then it is not a solution for the future.”      -Delyla Wilson

About The Course

Living on a small permaculture homestead is a beautiful dream, but not one that fits everyone.  Not everyone is capable of owning land (or even wants to). Some people lack personal or generational wealth to afford land, others don’t believe in land ownership, or come from a culture where there is no “ownership.”

This is a community conversation exploring various issues around living landless. Each week, we will have a different guest join us and share their wisdom, followed by time for community conversation.  This colloquium is solution-focused with a goal of sharing the practical skills needed to make land-centric living without ownership possible.
