What's wrong with permaculture?

Permaculture has been around for 50 years. It offers inspiring ethics, principles and approaches for creating a better world. Yet its impact seems limited compared to its potential, and there are plenty of things within the movement itself that deserve a closer look.

So let's talk about it!

What frustrates you about permaculture? What hasn't worked? Where do you see contradictions between our ethics and our actions? Why haven't we reached more people? And what are the things we rarely dare to discuss openly?

This session is an invitation to an honest, open and respectful conversation about permaculture, its community and its future. A space to share experiences, frustrations, doubts and questions, to listen to different perspectives and perhaps discover that we're not alone in some of our darker thoughts.

We're not here to defend permaculture, blame anyone or fix everything or anything in an hour. We will not tolerate bullying or gossiping about any persons (present or not), or putting anyone's views down. We'll gather here to listen to each other, share thoughts and experiences without the need to "think positively", clear the air and explore what might need to change.

Come as you are, with your love for permaculture, your frustrations, your questions and your hopes. Everyone is welcome.
