Sense-Making in a Changing World

It is my great pleasure to welcome Dr Michelle Maloney to Sense-Making in A Changing World. I've known and worked Michelle for years and deeply respect her clarity and  commitment to the earth. Michelle is widely known as an Earth Laws (Peaceful) Warrior . She is an extraordinary connector of changemakers and host of  wide-reaching networks and challenging conversations. At the core of her work, Michelle advocates for systems change, in order to shift industrialised societies from a human-centred, to an Earth centred governance system.

We talk here about her work and the intersections with permaculture. I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation.

More about Michelle
Dr Michelle Maloney is a lawyer and advocate for Earth centred law and governance.  She is Co-Founder and National Convenor of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance (AELA), Adjunct Senior Fellow, Law Futures Centre, Griffith University; and Director of the New Economy Network Australia (NENA) and Future Dreaming Australia – an organisation created by Indigenous and non-indigenous leaders to promote cross cultural sharing of governance and ecological knowledge in Australia.  Michelle is on the Steering Group for the International Ecological Law and Governance Association (ELGA), and was on the Executive Committee of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN) from 2012-2020.  Michelle has 30 years’ experience designing and managing climate change, sustainability and environmental justice projects in Australia, the United Kingdom, Indonesia and the USA, and this includes ten years working with First Nations colleagues in Central Queensland on a range of community development, sustainability and cultural heritage projects.  Michelle met and fell in love with Earth jurisprudence and Earth laws in 2009 and since 2011 has been working to promote the understanding and practical implementation of Earth centred governance and systems change – with a focus on law, economics, ethics, education and the arts - through her work with AELA.

I am a possibilitarian and I believe in HumanKINDness.

In this podcast my guests and I explore How are we to live? Really live, as nature ourselves, tending the conditions where life can thrive. We ask How do we become the kind of humans this moment is asking us to be?

This podcast is one of my acts of myceliation. Each conversation is a thread in a vast network of people speaking up for life with love and care. 

This podcast beams out from my hand-built solar-powered studio in the midst of a permaculture food forest in a permaculture ecovillage on Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi country.

If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.

I am so happy to introduce you to Sarah Queblatin - the co-founder of Green Releaf in the Phillipines in this episode of Sense-making in a Changing World.  Sarah and I met as part of Re-Alliance - a global permaculture humanitarian initiative, we are both permaculture teachers, Global Ecovillage Network Ambassadors and members of Permaculture for Refugees.   

We also have a connection because she is one of the key leaders of a brand new program for youth run by the Global Ecovillage Network Oceania and Asia - which my daughter, Permayouth co-founder, took part in just recently called ReGEN Nations. This is the kind of enabling collaborative ecosystem she designs - others include Re:Source Regeneration Labs with Green Releaf, and the 4 Returns Labs with Commonland.

We also share our activism roots in peace and both work towards whole systems change through education.

Sarah is passionate about transforming the narrative of Disaster Risk Reduction or DRR, into that of Designing for Resilience and Regeneration for communities affected by disasters, displacement, and unsustainable development.  

Her passion project, Living Story Landscapes, weaves traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and permaculture using the arts and culture in designing places of remembrance, resilience, and regeneration in climate and conflict vulnerable communities. Sarah is also an artist, using creativity as a pathway for personal and collective transformation. You can learn more about her work via www.soilsoulstory.com

In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, it is my pleasure to welcome culture designer, Joe Brewer who describes his work as being in service to humanity and the planet. Joe and I have know of each other for some time, but this is the first time we meet and talk. We both live bioregionally-embedded permaculture lives and focus on regenerative design and education globally. Thank you for join us here in conversation.

I see Joe as one of the most interesting and brilliant ecological thinkers of my generation and I just loved the chance to explore so many ideas with him. We talked about what it means to live regeneratively, how change happens and what he sees are the seeds of regenerative culture.

Joe created the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution  and the Design Institute for Regenerating Earth  which holds "the vision to see entire communities gain the ability to guide their own evolutionary processes to become more healthy and resilient in our rapidly changing world."

His book The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth is available through the gift economy. You can access it free via this link, and also offer a gift via his patreon account.  You can also join the Earth Regenerators study group that meets weekly to explore how we might collaborate to regenerate the Earth.

Learn more about Joe's work here more by perusing these articles:

In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, we take a dive into the kind of education the planet (and humanity) needs us to share with the young people in our lives ... of all ages. My guest is author, educator, activist and cultural creative - Lucy Legan. Lucy has recently launched her latest book, Planet Schooling . She is also co-founder of the most substantial permaculture/regenerative education centre in Latin America, Ecocentro IPEC which she started about 25 years ago in Brazil with her partner, Andre Soares that has hosted thousands of learners and visitors. Lucy like me lives and breathes a permaculture life and I am so inspired by the work that she has done around the world following her passion for earth care, people care and fair share. She has implemented permaculture and ecoliteracy education programs (planet schooling) in so many contexts - from schools to festivals around the world.

I invite you to join us in this conversation about the many dimensions of planet schooling. It's a brilliant concept - a platform for schools and homeschoolers alike. Particularly as education has been turned on it's head this past year, and we need to reconceptualise what education is for,  what is at the core of what we teach,  how we share it and where it happens.

LUCY'S NEW BOOK
Planet Schooling - How to create a permaculture living laboratory in your backyard
Lucy explores how very garden has the potential to equip the young people in our lives with the skills to create their future. She has included more than 150 activities for all ages of children from K-12. Essentially this book is a creative and fun practical guide to constructing a living laboratory in your own backyard (or front yard, balcony, verge, school ....).

If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.

In this episode I am speaking with my friend and colleague, Maddy Harland from England. Maddy is the cofounder of both Permanent Publications and the Permaculture Magazine with her husband Tim. Their publishing company has released over 100 permaculture books (including two of her own) since 1992 and she has created over 100 issues of the magazine.

Maddy has made an incredible contribution to permaculture through publishing and she is an educator, speaker, author and global regeneration activist as an advisor to the Cloudburst Foundation, and founder of the Sustainability Centre in East Meon.

Maddy talks candidly about how she's found balance during the lockdowns. walking ancient Celtic trails, gardening and beekeeping. She also talks about how she rapidly redesigned her permaculture publishing business using permaculture principles in 2020  to meet the new conditions -  Brexit and the pandemic - and come out with greater strength and focus. She says with everything that has happened, the popularity of permaculture has just sky-rocketed. Her new books are selling out before they've been released!

In the conversation we talked about: 

• Grounded: A Gardeners' Journey to Abundance and Self-Reliance by Liz Zorab, 
• Cultural Emergence: A Toolkit forTransforming Ourselves and the World  by Looby Macnamara. See my interview with Looby a few weeks back here.  
• & get Looby's ebook: 7 Ways to Think Differently here

Welcome to Episode 30 of Sense-Making in the Changing World (watch here on youtube) with  Cate McQuillen - the creative powerhouse behind EMMY Award winning Dirt Girl World, Get Grubby TV that are screened on ABC TV and other amazing children's programming. I see it as brilliant permaculture education - offered in the most FUN way for kids (and their families) everywhere. For over a decade Cate has been breathing life and heart into this wondrous world for children to inhabit and explore with profound impacts personally and culturally - for the kids, for the families and communities.

From her home in the Northern Rivers area of NSW, Australia - Cate's Dirt Girl World has reached 126 countries and millions of people each week. Her team include partner, Hewey Eustace - writer of all the amazing Dirt Girl World songs, Dirt Girl herself, Scrap Boy and of course, Costa the Garden Gnome  - otherwise known as the Logie-winning ABC Gardening Australia host.

Rippling out from Dirt Girl, Cate has created early childhood curriculum,  dirt girl maths, supported community programs in indigenous communities and the reef.

Cate is a change maker who wears her heart and her values on her sleeve, and has created a whole new world with her visual storytelling. Even with the recognition that the task of creating a climate-safe world that likes ahead of us is profoundly huge, Cate maintains and accessible, inviting and hugely engaging way to create the conditions where lasting behaviour change can happen.

This week she is launching her new campaign throughout 2021 Declare to Care  - listen in to hear all about this and how to get involved and make your own Declaration.

Cate is an extraordinary creative force for positive change and encourages us all to have the courage to step up too.

This conversation recorded over zoom is really part 2 - a follow up now that her 4th book has been released by Permanent Publications who also produce the Permaculture Magazine

Looby is a thought leader and innovator in the social permaculture space and has been teaching permaculture for nearly 20 years. Her first book was the first to focus on the people care ethic People & Permaculture. Looby is also author of 7 Ways to Think Differently and Strands of Infinity.

As well as running the Applewood Permaculture Centre with her partner Chris Evans and 2 daughters, she is also one of the partners of the European Mother Nature project and is an active member of the UK permaculture community.

This week you are in for a treat on Sense-making in a Changing World Podcast.

Come with me on a walk and talk through the iconic Findhorn community in Scotland with Findhorn College permaculture teacher, Maria Cooper, exploring how permaculture is applied - and discover a beautiful permaculture garden and life philosophy at the home of Craig Gibsone - an elder of the Findhorn community. Permaculture here is love in action.

Both Maria and Craig share deep insights about living a permaculture life and ways of growing abundance in a cool climate - having fresh food year round.

Originally from Australia, Craig has been a central figure in the development of permaculture and ecovillage education at Findhorn and has lived at Findhorn for 50 years. 

Maria moved more recently to Findhorn. She is deeply involved in the transition and permaculture movements locally and internationally,  and runs the Permaculture Design Courses and Ecovillage Design Education programs.

What a pleasure to share this conversation with you today on Sense-Making in a Changing World with my wonderfully talented friend, Jane Milburn.

Jane is a Slow Clothing champion and 2019 Churchill Fellow. She presents a compelling case for why we need to change the way we dress. She is also the founder and creative force of Textile Beat - inspired by her growing understanding of the impacts of our clothes on people and planet, and our own personal health.

Jane published Slow Clothing: Finding meaning in what we wear in 2017 and throughout it presents a new narrative about clothing that is regenerative. Slow clothing is more than just wearing natural clothes . Jane has a whole slow clothing philosophy which she shares through her slow clothing manifesto: think, natural, quality, local, few, care, make, revive, adapt, salvage.

Jane offers a beautiful everyday practical philosophy that is accessible to everyone everywhere, that brings us to wholeness through living more simply, creatively and fairly .

I hope you love this conversation just as much as I did, and see how it's the little things we do that can actually make the world the of difference. 

Since Jane wasn't able to travel this year with her Churchill Scholarship due to COVID, she held a 'virtual Churchill' - zooming with her guests. Check out her interviews on Textile Beat. To make the most of her time, she did her permaculture design course and immediately saw the parallels and calls slow clothing.

For this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World Podcast , I am in Lammas Ecovillage, Wales with the founder, Tao Wimbush.  I loved visiting this community and was so warmly welcomed by Tao. I hope you enjoy this conversation - full of so many practical tips for one planet living.

Lammas is an off-grid permaculture village with a community of 50 adults and many children, with interesting natural homes and is the first One Planet Development Ecovillage in the UK. Tao tells me how it is possible to buy land and build a home like his for around 20,000 UK Pounds. That's incredible! There is a lot of potential for young people to create land-based communities like Lammas in the Welsh countryside very affordably. We tour his house - it's beautiful and hand-crafted from local resources.

Tao and I talk about the ideas behind One planet Development,  how the village works and why people come there. He helps others make a shift to this way of life through education and consulting and is an expert in One Planet Development.

Tao is the author of 'Birth of an Ecovillage' and presented an internet TV series 'Living in the Future'. His background is in architecture and carpentry, and he's lived in a wide range of alternative communities, and dwelled in tipis, yurts and roundhouses.

I recorded this conversation pre-covid when I was in Wales last year, and will release the extended version with tours of the landscape and common spaces soon.

Lammas was featured on Kevin McLeod's Grand Designs.
