ONLINE Permaculture Topics: An Eco-Localism That Works

Chris Smaje, a small farmer and writer in England, wrote 'Finding Lights in a Dark Age: Sharing Land, Work and Craft,' which envisions a world that is largely rural, decentralized, and grounded in local ecosystems and self-reliance. His work is neither a doomer nor survivalist tract, but rather an intelligent, speculative inquiry into models of collective organization, bottom-up governance, and ethical belief that will shape "local livelihood communities." He joins David Bollier on Frontiers of Commoning, a monthly conversation with creative activists pioneering new forms of commoning.

To clarify - for these discussions, we watch/listen to/read material ahead of time and then discuss it. The authors or speakers are not joining us - we are talking about their work ourselves.

In our Permaculture Topics Discussions & Book Studies, we aim to expand our knowledge of topics related to permaculture and to have an ongoing series where members can connect to build our community. This series has a particular focus on "social/societal permaculture." Since Spring 2020, we've been especially engaging with topics such as: people care, story, right relationships, new economics, community resilience, honoring indigenous knowledge, strength in diversity, and forests & gardens as teachers.
