Bring positive design thinking to your business, your life and your world by empowering the genius inside all of us to make a difference!
Permaculture is an ecological design system often associated with gardening and food growing – but its principles of earth care, people care and fair shares can also be applied to ethical business, communities and organisations.
During this workshop we will use interactive and participatory activities to explore;
-
What is permaculture?
-
How can the ethics and principles of permaculture be applied to your business, livelihood, community or organisation?
-
Right livelihood – how to live by your enjoyment and create Active Community Transformation In Our Neighbourhoods!
This workshop can either be considered as a ‘stand alone’ introductory taster, or else can be a lead-in to the 12 day full Design 4 A.C.T.I.O.N. course. For more information see http://spiralseed.co.uk/design-4-action/

Details; Held at the newly set up Epicquest alternative school in Southend, this one day workshop can either be considered as a ‘stand alone’ introduction to Permaculture ethics, principles and design, or else can be a lead-in to the more in depth full 72 hour Permaculture Design Course. The day will be led by experienced permaculture teacher Graham Burnett (author and illustrator of ‘Permaculture- a Beginners Guide’ and ‘The Vegan Book of Permaculture’, former Trustee of the Permaculture Association (Britain) and holder of the Diploma in Permaculture Design). Epicquest is an exciting new educational project being set up by the One Love Foundation in order to provide alternative learning opportunities for children and adults in the Southend on Sea area. One of the outcomes of today’s workshop will be to generate design ideas for the future development of the space and its grounds.

Hi folks, I’ve spent some time today talking to Chay and Jules EpicQuest Southend about the EpicQuest education project see http://epicquest.co.uk/ They have invited me to run some Permaculture Design Skills workshops to help think about ideas for their new centre in Wallis Ave, Southend on Sea.
I’m proposing running 2 (maybe more) weekend workshops in September and October which will provide a basic grounding in Permaculture Ethics, Principles and Design Skills, facilitated by an experienced permaculture designer (me!), with a focus on creating ’emergent’ design ideas for the project by pooling our collective skills, creativity and expertise to come up with realistic and workable design proposals.
Focus will be on generating ideas for the building, as well as garden and growing areas and ‘wild’ spaces around the grounds.
Participation will be donation to help cover my time and facilitation (suggest £10 – £30 quid for each 2 days workshop depending on what you can afford/think reasonable).
No previous knowledge of Permaculture is necessary, this would however be an excellent opportunity for those who have previously done a Permaculture Course (eg, a Permaculture Introductory Course or full 72 Hour Permaculture Design Course, or working towards their Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design) to revise and brush up their design skills, or produce work for their design portfolio.
Who would be interested in participating?
Please PM me or email me via the contact page on my web site to register interest http://spiralseed.co.uk/contact/

The next ‘What if’ event will be held on Monday 16th June upstairs at The Railway Hotel from 7 – 9. Our theme this month will be the dialogue between the present, the past and the future, and will feature ‘Reels of Resilience’ presented by our special guest James Taylor. This is a film show of archival documentaries from the 1930s and 1940s, encouraging the audience to find parallels between then and now. It will be more than just a film show, encouraging the audience to both observe and interact with the material, which shows ordinary people creatively adapting and responding to change and inspiration, and how these can speak to us now with the different challenges that we face.

| Things are emerging from the What if… gatherings. Plans afoot re urban woodlands, plotters planning floral antics, and conversations happening about alternative education.
Who will you meet, and what will begin, at the next one…?
Using ideas, tools and techniques drawn from Appreciative Inquiry, Permaculture Design and other creative methods of group engagement, ‘What If?’ is a series of workshops, events and gatherings for anybody that wants to make positive change happen in their own life, their community or their world! Hosted by Graham Burnett (Spiralseed), Sherry Fuller and friends.
Join us the Railway for the next workshop and open space conversation. Sherry will be talking about the philosophical principles of Appreciative Inquiry; a way of ‘seeking that which gives life, in order to ignite the imagination of what could be’. This will be followed by the usual dialogue about the things that matter most to you.
Come along and be inspired!
Payment by donation. £5 suggested or what you can afford, would like to pay.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
Hang around for a pint afterwards in Southend’s best pub and live music venue. 🙂

Having established the pink oyster mushroom using coffee grounds, attention turns to the Golden Oyster, the more striking and flavourful cousin of the good old oyster.
I grew mine using a mycobox, which helps to grow a successful starter culture.
Lightly fried, the golden oyster has a deeper flavour than the pink or grey oyster, which makes it worth the effort.
