How to teach permaculture?
This is a very special episode - my way of celebrating the late Graham Bell - a tribute to a permaculture elder, pioneer, forest gardener, teacher, mentor, author, father, husband, friend. Graham died in early March 2023 after a brief illness.
I join the permaculture community around the world in acknowledging his enormous contribution to the field of permaculture, and to teaching permaculture teachers. I send my deepest condolences to his family.
Our focus here at the Permaculture Education Institute is about teaching permaculture teachers, and Graham has been teaching for decades too - one of the early pioneers of the movement. I was keen to talk with him about his insights and experience as an educator. And oh my, what richness is within. I hope you thoroughly enjoy listing to Graham’s story spanning decades and the globe, and his wisdom shared.
I actually recorded this episode late 2022 and had been trying to work out how to edit it - Graham and I talked for almost 2 hours. I thought I needed to edit it to about an hour, but I could simply not work out which stories to leave out. In the end, I have decided to simply share the whole conversation with you.
You can watch this over in our Sense-Making in a Changing World Youtube channel here.

I am a possibilitarian and I believe 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 Gubbi Gubbi country.
If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.
