🐍Serpent law🐍
A few choice words pulled from Tyson Yunkaporta in his talk with us on "Permaculture is Political".
What do serpents teach us in relationship to flow, systems, relationality and purity?
How do we move and adapt like snakes in a colonial system that prioritises homogenisation, "purity" and rigidity? What does it mean to weave that into our lives, our communities and our land management systems?

2 Days to Go!!!
There were so many incredible moments from this learning community. The importance of expansive brave spaces & relationship building in communities & organisations building better futures is so critical.
We were so lucky to hear from so many different contexts about how these were created.
We look forward to discussing these & cross-pollinating more community knowledge!

Starhawk has been organising for a long time and as such she speaks with the self-possessed honesty of someone who is simply allergic to inauthenticity. In our "Permaculture is Political" series she spoke about ecology as a political practice, not a hobby craft designed to pass the time and make a small patch for the family in the Summer months.
Another excellent quote from our session with Starhawk was: “If you avoid politics, someone else will decide your future for you.”

In our Permaculture is Political series, Aoife brought a queer lens to food systems that we rarely get to hear reflected back. They spoke about kitchens, care, migration, grief, and the way queer people feed each other when systems don’t. “Food is how we keep each other alive when the world forgets us.”

#permaculture #decolonisingpermaculture
In a booming 82 million dollar "native foods" industry less than 1% goes towards the First Nations people in Australia. The need to shift our food systems towards more native foods is never more clear when we consider food sovereignty and food security in the face of an increasingly unstable climate. We also cannot shift these systems in meaningful ways without decolonising these systems which means that they must be led by First Nations people and benefit them in fair and just ways.
We're so grateful for Zena Cumptson for sharing some of her wisdom with us on these matters in our "Permaculture is Political" web-series. To watch the full talk where these quotes come from follow the link in our bio.
