 An online discussion through Zoom, then the creation of a zine. A project by Kt Shepherd & Kate Dickinson. This is timed to connect with the Edges of both the Festival Of Permaculture and My Green Community events from the Permaculture Association in September 2022 Take part in a permaculture project documenting and sharing about how permaculture principles can enable people affected by disability and/or chronic illness/long term health issues (CI/LTHI), to thrive. This project is aimed at both people living with disabilities and/or CI/LTHI and/or people supporting others living with disabilities and/or CI/LTHI We will be hosting 2 x 1 hour Zoom sessions over the weekend of 17/18th September. The Saturday 17th September session is at 10-11am The Sunday 18th September session is at 3-4pm Both sessions are at BST (British Summer Time) timings You are welcome to attend either or both sessions  We are inviting participants to share experiences they have had or ideas about, using the Holmgren Permaculture Principles in managing their disabilities and/or CI/LTHI and/or supporting someone else with disabilities and/or CI/LTHI  The Holmgren Permaculture Principles This link features more information about each of the 12 principles Permacultureprinciples.com Ways of sharing these experiences and ideas with others in the session might include - Talking Sharing an image (photo, doodle, illustration, mind map) Written/typed so that Kate or Kt can share on your behalf Participants will also be encouraged to discuss these experiences and ideas in the sessions. There is no pressure to either share or discuss in the sessions. People who want to attend the sessions and just listen in are very welcomed The Zoom sessions will be recorded and then the content shared about experiences and ideas will be collated and used to create a zine which will be available to others as a resource. The zine will be available in both electronic and paper versions. The zine content can be anonymous or participants can be named and attributed to their experiences and ideas - either preference is great. In the week after the Zoom sessions you will be asked to complete a short evaluation tool so that we can learn from the experiences of participants and plan future events accordingly. We will be sharing information about this project on social media, on Kt’s blog and via the Permaculture Association’s website events notice board Please email Kt if you would like to take part in this project - remember it’s totally fine and very welcomed to just listen in to the ideas sharing and discussion. Also, feel free to email me with any questions you may have. [email protected]

Hello, I would love an invitation to your two Zoom sessions in September please. I have a long term chronic disability and a small patch of concrete where I garden in containers

I have long term health issues and support my neurologically diverse son with his learning challenges. We are able to contribute to different groups working to reduce catastrophic challenges of the Climate, Biodiversity and Social Justice Crises in our own unique ways. I would value discussing with others what more can be done and sharing my thoughts and wisdom. Perhaps I might be invited. Thank you for all you are doing. Leave a Reply. |
