David Holmgren in Sydney

Project: Milkwood

Posted by Kirsten Bradley over 13 years ago

We’re bringing David Holmgren to Sydney shortly as a guest teacher on our Winter Part-time PDC. So we thought we’d offer up a dinner while he’s here. Would you like to come?

Dinner with David Holmgren

Saturday 21st May
Peasant’s Feast Organic Restaurant, Sydney
$45 per head – bookings essential

We’d like to invite our current and future friends, readers, students and comrades to a chance to sit down and eat delicious organic food together. Please join us for an evening of good food & great conversation, with a talk by David between courses.

David Holmgren is an ecologist, ecological design engineer and writer. He is perhaps most well known as co-originator of the permaculture concept with Bill Mollison. Through the spread of permaculture around the world, his environmental principles have exerted a global influence.

Other Sydney Holmgren events…

While we’ve got you here, we’d like to mention that Permaculture Sydney North are running a couple of events with David in the week following this dinner:

>> Weeds or Wild Nature?

Forum, Wed 25th May, 7 – 9.30pm
Macquarie University, Sydney

Hear David and other distinguished guests talk on this important topic, followed by a Q & A style panel. Perspectives on weeds and their place in nature, biodiversity, animal health, bush regeneration, soil health, and human health will all be presented by the panel, and other invited guests. A little background on this topic can be found here.

>> Bushfire Stategies Forum

2 day seminar, Sat 27th & Sun 28th May
Berowra, Sydney

David and his partner Su Dennett will lead Day One which focuses on their extensive work leading bushfire resilient landscapes and communities policy and practices in Hepburn Shire Victoria.

And if you cannot make any of these events, you can be sure we will be regaling you with Holmgren-related information in due course, so have a cup of tea and read a useful book instead.

Legend of Badges

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.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With 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.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
