If there's no Accessibility, It's Not Permaculture
If there's no Accessibility, It's Not Permaculture
Permaculture’s core ethic of "fair share" means access-centered spaces and classes, full stop.
Let's let go of an obsession with so-called "grit" or "DIY" as a body-based value in permaculture, which is often used to justify practices- on the land and in the classroom- that are inaccessible to many bodies and brains.
This is a creative, radical design-thinking framework for creating better worlds for place and people.
Not only should it be inclusive and access-centered - us disabled and sick folks have been doing exactly that kind of radical design-thinking to create worlds we can survive in for generations.
When our designs are at the center, the next world gets a whole lot better.
For EVERYONE.

Join me for a Permaculture Weekend!
Saturday, September 30, & Sunday, October 1
10 am - 5 pm
Hosted by Rancho Compasión in Nicasio, CA and taught by me, Rachel Economy, this fun weekend deep-dive is for anyone who wants to learn ecological design skills for creating beyond-sustainable gardens, landscapes, and communities. You'll leave with a design for your own garden or space! No experience required, beginners welcome! Those with some experience in gardening or sustainability will also get new and deeper tools and frameworks from this workshop. Liberation centered in content and teaching practices <3
Sliding scale, Solidarity & Redistribution rates available and encouraged.
