Introduction

We created this group to facilitate Permaculture events in the NYC region. Please request organizer privileges if you would like to promote your own events.

What kind of invisible structure ideas do you favor?

See JeffVail.net for information about the rhizome network concept. I also put a couple articles in the files section regarding "Appreciative Inquiry" and another regarding how to organize using both hierarchy and heterarchy. This group serves as a communication strategy for anyone into Permaculture within the NYC region.

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

Yes (Geoff Lawton @ Epworth '07)

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

Following the Hudson Valley Ecovillage and NW NJ Ecovillage Yahoo groups. I'll be happy to forward links if anyone can't find them.

Do you have a place to apply permaculture designs?

Inwood (Northern Manhattan)

Would you be interested in taking a PDC course?

I'm promoting Toby Hemenway's PDC in the Catskills: http://green-phoenix.org/08-08-pdc.html

What Sean is saying about this Meetup Group

Share in a movement towards living in harmony with the natural world; a return to the garden of eden.

Sean,
Hi, it's Sue. I have your replacement copy of The Natural Way of Farming. Where do I mail it so you can get it? It's been on my shelf for about 2 years now!!!! But the content is timeless. Sue

Sean...thanks for joining and for your wonderful ideas. I was planning to incorporate rotation of food storage in one of my meetups in the future and am somewhat of an expert in that area...:) My sister even has a cookbook about that very subject.....one of the most informative ones on the market I think. It is called "Made Simple".....I think the group will benefit alot from your input in the future. I look forward to seeing you at events.
