An online forum for artists, creatives and cultural workers that meets four times a year to explore ideas around arts, imagination, creativity and Permaculture, and the way that these things can be used to develop regenerative cultures.
The group meets on the 15th of every third month at 7pm (British Time) and each session is inspired by some aspect Permaculture Design or regenerative culture as a starting point to explore our creative practice. Each session is convened by a member of our course community which is made up for over 300 artists, creatives and cultural workers from all over the world who are working in a wide range of ways to explore regnerative practices in their work, and lives.
| 15th January | 9 Ways of Observing – Starhawk – a pracitcal hour to explore how we can use this tool to ground creative practice and / or projects. Liz Postlethwaite |
| 15th April | Dreaming Oursleves into the Future – inspired by Vanessa Andreotti and Dani d’Emilia this creative hour will use Holmgren’s Permaculture Design Principles as a starting point to dream about how a regenerative future may feel and be. Liz Postlethwaite |
| 15th July | The Permaculture Ethics – a heldspace for a conversation around how can we use more deeply the three ethics to support creative practice in a way that is nurturing and regenerative within the existing (limiting) systems. Lorenza Casini |

Please note: the group is aimed at people with an active creative practice (either formal or informal) and with some prior knowledge / experience of Permaculture Design. This could be through participation in a course, or through self-led learning. If you are unsure if the group is for you please get in contact.
Structure:
Each session is a maximum of one hour long. We begin with a simple grounding activity, then spend time in structured conversation about the inspiration for the session. If the group is larger this may include some time in break out spaces. The time together is participatory and everybody is encouraged to take part if they feel comfortable to do so.
