Permaculture and its Potential in Earth-Based Spirituality
With Dana O’Driscoll, Grand Archdruid and Druid Adept, Ancient Order of Druids in America; Certified Permaculture Designer and Permaculture Teacher
How can permaculture be a tool for changing the world—and helping us build deeper connections to the living earth? What is the potential of permaculture as a tool for exploring paganism and earth-based spiritual traditions? How can permaculture’s ethics and design principles offer us a roadmap for sacred actions in the world? In this talk, Dana O’Driscoll will offer some insights and answers to these questions by exploring permaculture’s ethics and design principles through the lens of paganism. Permaculture’s ethics: people care, earth care, fair share—and her addition—spirit aware— can help offer us a clear method of interacting with all beings, physical or metaphysical. Permaculture’s principles for design can help us bring about a better future for all life on this planet. By sharing examples of permaculture in action, participants will have a set of useful tools through which to explore and expand their nature-based spiritual practices into their daily lives.
