Preferably multiple who bring a distinct perspective. Material meant for beginners should be phrased not by experts, but by intermediate students. How can you leverage that situation before you destroy it? One way is to ask the new people to improve all of the documents/materials.Д¬opy editing is important, but the real problem is that we slip into circular definitions, circular reasoning, jargon, or dogma every chance we get.

What I can suggest is something from my professional life: the students you are trying to reach do not have the Curse of Knowledge. If you come in not knowing anything, youвЂ™re gonna have a bad time. This is not a class for learning permaculture, itвЂ™s a certification class. My main complaint about the OSU PDC, besides the workload, is probably a complaint about all PDCs.

You need to think about what sorts of quid pro quo arrangements you can expect from people of 1) limited means, 2) novice level permaculture experience and 3) geographic limitations. I'd love to talk about how we could collaborate and contribute!

We have a small but effective reach, and a decent network in the permaculture space. We also do a bit of real world seed-distribution too. I help run a permaculture-inspired non-commercial organization with a mission to help people grow more food by giving them digital access to what they need (seed swaps, design tools, plant database, growing instructions, etc). That said, I think what you're proposing could be really cool. I've never really cared to attend a PDC I don't agree with the idea of them being based on capitalistic endeavour, among a couple other issues I won't get into here. I've been a student of permaculture for over 10 years now, both large amounts of reading on all sorts of relative topics (ecology, indigenous technology, gardening, social ecology, design, earthworks, engineering, etc) and practice in the real world, including guerilla gardening, farm work, landscape design, micro-nursery production, foraging, ecology ID, seed distribution hubs, etc. So I guess that's a long way of saying: I wish you luck in this endeavor! I think you offer consulting, too, and I have that in the back of my mind if I get to a place where that makes sense (which might be soon if you do forest management plans for the Conservation Stewardship Program). You seem very knowledgeable about Permaculture, and I would trust your knowledge and experience if I was in a good place to take a PDC. I'd probably be interested in a few years when my son is a bit less dependent (he's 4 right now) and if I can manage to get a bit more organized-that is, if I can afford it.Д«ut I've seen you on this subreddit many times, and you always seem to have good advice.

Personally, unfortunately, the timing doesn't really work out for me. Maybe it's just confirmation bias talking, but I have spoken directly on here with several people from this state, and I'm sure some would be interested in a PDC at some point. I assume that you're actually planning to do this entirely online, but in case I'm mistaken, I want to add that it seems like there are quite a bit of people from Michigan on this subreddit. I'm convening a meeting to get us organized, then we can proceed on the how and what.

There is quite a bit of interest in this but it will not happen without your help! Add your intentions to the wiki above.

Feel free to add your contributions and goals! I'm not going to be able to do this all by myself.

Let's work together to add our resources and goals, see what we come up with! Could that energy be harnessed in a beneficial way? I could also see it fizzling into nothing or worse yet a waste. I've seen that demonstrated in a number of ways (for ex. I think there is something potentially powerful here in reddit. What do the people here think? If I devoted the time and effort to make this happen, would I have community support? I don't have all the resources to do it alone, I would need help to pull off something that is quality. It is my commitment to transform peoples awareness so that they can go on to make positive change in the world. I am not a rock star permaculture teacher but I have taught in many PDCs and have put on a handful myself. I feel inspired to offer a Permaculture Design Course to anyone that is interested.
