Introduction

dreamer/designer/artist/builder uprooted and seeking my tribe and to live and build naturally to ride, flow and grow-- snow, air, water, earth and fire... to play in the warm blue green waters under the starfire where the coconuts grow pranafire

What kind of invisible structure ideas do you favor?

cymatics : ) I do have deep respect and admiration for the traditional council meeting and participatory consensus decision making process of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people of Turtle Island which greatly influenced (through Benjamin Franklin) the creation of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution http://www.ratical.org/many_worlds/6Nations/#FF I also found this interesting article to share about the Permaculture Credit Union: http://www.oly-wa.us/HerbnWisdom/PDF/InvisibleStructures.pdf

Have you completed the PDC course and been certified? Diploma?

Yes. 2008 PDC, taught by Toby Hemenway, Larry Santoyo, Dave Jacke, Andrew Faust and more... at Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch. Diploma... ??? In the process of trying to figure out whether or not I'm already qualified (I'm a Landscape Architect and have been working in the field of landscape construction for over 10 years).

Are you currently in an ecovillage, organizing one, or would you be interested to join one?

No, not currently a member of such, but definitely interested in becoming aligned with people of similar resonance, goals, dreams, desires, etc... and establishing a physical home base on land that has ample supply of pure fresh spring water rich in trace minerals and from sources uncontaminated by synthetic pollutants. Also close proximity to wilderness, intact forest & various full sun environments as well as are a definite plus.

Do you have a place to apply permaculture designs?

Apartment Balcony: though very little direct sunlight. Rooftop Terrace :(shared with other tenants) growing kitchen herbs immediate family relationships extended family relationships friendly relationships work relationships professional relationships political relationships monetary relationships sovereign relationship with Self

Would you be interested in taking a PDC course?

I'm more interested in participating in volunteering, organizing, marketing, co-teaching, etc... of upcoming PDC courses and putting what I've learned into practice through design, installation, education, hands-on demonstrations and intensives, etc... in exchange for skill sharing, certifications, membership, social bonding, money, transportation, food, herbs, land, community, tools, knowledge, childcare, books, seeds, plants, photography and film-making equipment, software, skills, etc...

Additional Information

"seeking the others.... permaculture surfing community of artists and herbalists who are athletic, adventurous and like to meditate and dance and play"

What Bryan Milne is saying about this Meetup Group

I think the meetup is great!!! I think we could use more venues for meeting, though the food at EarthMatters Cafe is AWESOME!! I'd love to see a regular event in my local community (Park Slope)

Hi Bryan,

Thank you for joining our group. I agree with you. We must weaken the ego and strengthen our soul to achieve health happiness and peace. Hope to see you at our next meetup. Are you a member of the Rockland Farm Alliance?

hi Bryan! I missed you (and meeting your fam!) at the potluck at Old Stone House - but will look forward to the next! it sounds like playing all morning in the snow and then hunkering down was a beautiful way to spend the day. :)

Thanks for your advice on landscape design, Bryan. I'm going to continue to observe the rainwater flows in my yard. Hopefully there is a low cost way to reduce the pressure of the water on the basement stairwell. A solution that turns a liability into a resource would be the Permacuture ideal!
