Listen Later

In this episode we chat with incredible permaculture teacher, psychologist, Ayurveda expert, and barefoot yogi Ian Trew, exploring the physical, psychological and spiritual world that is permaculture. Our Mahasoma teacher Laura Poole completed her permaculture PDC course with Ian at Noosa Forest Retreat and fell in love with the way he spoke about ecology and nature, weaving in psychology, the Vedic worldview, indigenous wisdom, and personal development. It was an inspiring and very intense few weeks training, and we knew we had to share the inspiration with everyone.

What we talk about in this episode:

  • Ian’s inspiring life story that took him from the country, to the military, to permaculture
  • What permaculture actually is
  • How we currently grow food and what needs to change
  • Holistic habitat design – rethinking and redesigning how we live
  • Cradle to grave design
  • The psychological, emotional and sociological aspects of permaculture
  • The differences between organic, biodynamic, agroforestry and syntropic farming
  • The need for embodied ecological role models
  • Accessing the flow state and becoming an everyday super hero
  • The 1 thing you start doing right now to flow with Nature
