Alleviating the world’s environmental and social problems isn’t as difficult or complex as it sounds. It’s as simple as initiating a single action. You just have to know where to start. I took that initial step by attending the most recent Permaculture Design Course (PDC) hosted by VerdEnergia, a reforestation project and farm located in the mountainous jungles […]
Many people, when picturing the future of technology, may imagine a dystopia of chips implanted in brains and credit cards embedded in forearms. However, there are alternative models. NuMundo is one of them. Networks like NuMundo promote peace at multiple levels. Permaculture principles engender food security, community empowerment, and nature connection.

It is a place of incredible resilience amidst terrifying history. Established in 1889 by white colonialists as a Prisoner-of-War camp for Native Americans, South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation is now the second largest Native American Indian Reservation in the United States. Building a permaculture education centre and language school here, in one of the most […]
Mentorship may be one of the biggest opportunities for growth in our fledgling permaculture movement.

A spine-chilling yet breathtaking drive through serpentine mountain roads with peaks of almost 5,000 meters. Majestic valleys, mountain lakes, and […]
Near the Badlands of South Dakota, down a long dirt road and under the Great Plains sky, lies the residence of Bryan Deans. This is Pine Ridge Reservation, sovereign nation of the Oglala Lakota people. His residence stands out against the manufactured housing projects that dot the rolling plains with an unusual sight – a […]
I sit quietly; the noises of the jungle are constant in the background. The hum of cicadas reaches its crescendo at dusk, it’s almost deafening. The tropical birds sing their songs, there’s the tranquil sound of the creek I’m camping next to washing over the rocks, passing by me. I’m drawing to the end of […]
Developing the physical infrastructure at Rancho Mastatal gets me up every morning. I don’t need coffee nor an alarm clock; I’m just excited to keep building. Building the orchards and earthworks, furniture for my home, a better feeder for our chickens; these are the projects that rev my permaculture engine. They are concrete, you can see the […]
Every year, inspired individuals leave the common culture of our modern age.
