Back to Nemenhah Perma-Village Model
Project: Nemenhah Perma-Village Model
Posted by Chief Phillip 'Cloudpiler' Landis over 13 years ago
Among the Nemenhah we have a moto, "It is good for us to be here!"
We say this when things get tough. When we respond to challenges with a positive affirmation, miracles really do take place. But, one guy standing in a garden crying, "it is good for us to be here!" just doesn't have the same impact as twenty or twenty thousand. A lonely cry of faith is enlarged to become a Community shouting for joy!
Nemenhah Permavilage has spread out to seven clones of itself in the U.S. and one beginning in Uganda. Each of these is committed to take the message to the surrounding communities. At the Headquarters here in Missouri, we now have projects beginning on six locations away from the main property. We are expanding outward so that many demonstrations will be available for a walking tour when they are all popping. Each of our Permavillage Projects will do the same.
Our PDC in Bowling Green immediately spread to Toledo. Our PDC in Franklin immediately spread to Nashville. In Columbus, our PDC has become several projects, a Farmer's Market, a CSA, and even the possiblity of a full-scale Permaculture Training Center and Retreat.
Through Permaculture, we have not only the ability to eat well and live well, but, as Geoff Lawton puts it, we can secure our supply lines. As we spread out, we can unite all the elements of whole bioregions. We are seeing it happen in our own County, and in many Counties around the Country. It is not so great a stretch to envision the same for regions and nations. If you think that Permaculture is just a dandy gardening system, you are kinda missing the whole point of it. Many hands make light work. No Permaculturist is an Island!

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
