Are you a teacher, parent or student wondering how permaculture can be related to school? Listen in to this episode, where I welcome Rebecca Leek - an educator weaving permaculture into school systems across England.

Permaculture is commonly associated with gardening, but Rebecca shows how it can help our approach to education too.

From producing no waste to valuing the marginal, the principles embedded in permaculture can really help shape our schools into places of genuine connection and emergence.

What if we looked at our education system as a garden? How can we create composting systems in our social worlds? Tune in to explore.

You can read Rebecca's article in the Guardian here.

Founder, Permaculture Education Institute

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.
