This is an atypical episode of the show as you can probably tell from the title. In this conversation, I sit down with Joshua Hughes of VerdEnergia Pacifica and Blacksheep Regenerative Resource Management to talk about the intersection of permaculture and politics to engage, get involved, and change the system to create the world we want to live in.

My guest for this episode is Peter Michael Bauer, who returns to share with us his thoughts on the distinction between human versus conservation rewilding, and a critique of what they get right and what they get wrong as we develop the understanding and language to discuss these broad, far reaching views on how to undo domestication of people and of the land.

Help Scott Save His Liver (and Heart) Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

A few days before my 44th birthday, I received the news managing my Celiac Disease and family history of diabetes had damaged my liver and made my non-alcoholic liver issues worse. So much so, that I am at a significant risk of liver failure in my lifetime. In a follow-up with my doctor about that news, I was also diagnosed with High Blood Pressure (Hypertension 2). To manage these health issues, I need to step away from the show, indefinitely, in the near future.
To ensure that the podcast website, archives, and email address remain available, and the lights stay on for the show through these ups and downs without having to worry about where the money will come from, I've created a GoFundMe campaign to cover the show's expenses for the next 15 months while my team of doctors, specialists, and I work on creating and implementing a treatment plan that is manageable and will get me back to good health.
Donate to the Crowdfunding Campaign: bit.ly/liver2024

Until the next time, spend each day caring for your self, so that you can keep caring for Earth and each other.

Inclusion in Permaculture - Rosemary Morrow Aug 27, 2023

Show notes

When sitting down with a storyteller like Rosemary Morrow for a series of open conversations about her life and work that spans decades, and results in more than 10 hours of recordings, it's never clear what will emerge. Today's episode is a great example of that, as in a few moments while we discussed other things, Rowe mentioned working with the folks at Perma Queer and shared her thoughts on how to use one’s position, role, and respect within a community to make space for marginalized voices, and the importance of inclusion in permaculture as part of the teachings.
