In this third episode of my January solo series, I follow the permaculture thread into education. Not education as information, credentials, or performance, but education as a living practice that changes how we belong to place, how we listen, how we notice, and how we make decisions.

I explore how permaculture education invites our attention back into relationship with soil, water, seasons, other species, and the limits and gifts of where we live.

This episode is also about cultural repair, and the kinds of education that uplift humility, reciprocity, responsibility, and being in relationship with life.

I love Robin Wall Kimmerer’s question: “What would it be like if we understood that the land loves us back?”

In this episode we explore

•  Observation, relationship, feedback as the core learning loop
•  How questions shape the kind of human we become
•  Why hosting learning experiences matters
•  Why learning is seasonal, iterative, and supported by community
•  A three minute practice to grow capability through small experiments
