In the run-up to us running four different <\/span><\/i>Permaculture courses here<\/span><\/i><\/a> at LaB this October, our Freya tells the story of how she ended up doing her first Permaculture course.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

By <\/span>Freya Rawlins<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

I have no land of my own, and yet I was drawn to the Permaculture Design Course (PDC), why?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I first began my own \u201ceco-journey\u201d my focus was on plastic and going vegan. It didn\u2019t take long for that to change and evolve, and it was on this journey I came across this term \u201cpermaculture\u201d. But wherever I looked I couldn\u2019t quite find what it really meant, I just understood that it was a way of growing food in a regenerative, earth-friendly way. It was on Instagram where I was following various activists and learning the many nuances of this movement in fighting the climate crisis, from our clothes and the many aspects of fast fashion, to how and where our food is grown, that I came across <\/span>Poppy Okotcha<\/span><\/a>. An ecological home-grower who had moved from her barge boat to a new home, she was sharing the permaculture way of starting in a new space.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I moved to Spain, I got in touch with Mike at La Bruguera and asked if I could WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) to learn more about the permaculture homestead here. Mike shared so much with me, and I came to understand that permaculture isn\u2019t just a way of growing food, it\u2019s a way of life. The three ethics of permaculture speak to this; Earth care, People Care, and the Return and Sharing of Surplus to the earth and to people. In the upcoming days and weeks we are running a series of posts on Instagram about the 3 ethics, and 12+ principles of Permaculture. Find more on the more on the ethics here:<\/span><\/p>\n
