Intro to Permaculture & Taking Action Locally
with Ryan Rising of Permaculture Action Network

Permaculture lays out a path for how we can approach our world under the current socio-political and economic climate to re-integrate ourselves into the ecological web of life and cultivate relationships of mutual aid and reciprocity with one another. Sometimes the most direct way to challenge and alter the dominant systems that shape our lives is to directly approach how we create what we need and how we take care of one another.

Through the ways we grow our food, access water, build shelter, tend to ecology, craft medicines and make decisions together we can reclaim our lives and translate personal healing into collective healing. We’ll start with an introduction to permaculture design methods for reweaving ourselves into the natural world symbiotically, and move toward conversations on how we can take action locally. Learn to embrace a hands-on approach to taking action for a more just and regenerative world and more agency over our lives.

About the Facilitator
Ryan Rising is a community organizer and permaculture educator based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. After organizing Pushing Through the Pavement: a Permaculture Action Tour with The Polish Ambassador in the Fall of 2014, Ryan co-founded the Permaculture Action Network and has worked with festivals and artists like Burning Man and Rising Appalachia to mobilize concert-goers and festival attendees to install permaculture systems and create community spaces that move us further on the transition to a just and regenerative world.

Permaculture Action Days have brought out hundreds of people at a time after concerts and before music festivals to plant public food forests, build urban farms and community gardens, install rainwater catchment systems, and construct greenhouses and earthen buildings. Having organized more than 62 Permaculture Action Days across the continent, Ryan works at the edge of culture and ecological justice to catalyze the growth of a broad and diverse network taking action to build a better world.
