After spending more than a year and a half balancing family; a day job; and the work of permaculture education, I’m returning to teaching and producing The Permaculture Podcast full-time as of the release of this episode. With this announcement comes a number of updates on what’s happening with the show and behind the scenes.

I’m planning to release an additional 20 or so new interviews in the months ahead. Though I have a long list of potential guests, due to scheduling issues, we can’t always work something out. If you have any suggestions for someone to appear on the show, leave a comment or send an email to The Permaculture Podcast.

Intermixed with the singular episodes featuring particular guests, I’m also looking at series that examine a particular topic in-depth across multiple episodes. Some currently in development include Biodynamic Agriculture and Decolonizing Permaculture. If you have any thoughts on something to cover, let me know.

Additionally, as you know, I love helping people share their stories as guests on the show. I am now taking this a step further by offering two courses in the months ahead.

The first is Storytelling for Personal Transformation. We’ll spend a year in this mentored program, starting on the upcoming Summer Solstice, to explore your values, goals, and desires, as well as who you are, who you were, and the story you tell yourself. In the end, you’ll emerge with the personal knowledge and skills to master your inner and outer worlds, empowered to tell a new story.

Registration for this course is open, but closes soon, on June 17th. If you are interested, check out the complete details at thepermaculturepodcast.com/storytelling and register today.

The second is a class on podcasting that starts on September 1st and will take you from developing the idea for your own show to releasing your first complete episode within 8 weeks. Using my more-than-a-decade in radio and podcasting, I’ll show you how to inexpensively record, edit, produce, and release your ideas to the world, even if you don’t have a website or background in broadcasting.

Registration for this class is open, but spaces are limited. Find out more at thepermaculturepodcast.com/podcasting and enroll now.

I’ve also been receiving a number of calls from listeners lately. To make communicating with each other easier, I’ve set up an account with Calendly where you can choose the best day and time for us to talk.

Even with amazing partners, listener support remains important for this show to thrive and grow. You can become an ongoing member of the Patreon community at patreon.com/permaculturepodcast, make a one-time donation at paypal.me/permaculturepodcast

Finally, thank you for the many years we’ve spent together, exploring the edges of what it means to practice permaculture. This October marks 10 years since graduating from my Permaculture Design Course and starting this show. It’s been a pleasure and an honor to share so many voices with you as each of us works in our own ways to take care of Earth, ourselves, and each other.
