As a mother of 5, I am grateful to have had each one and wouldn't take it back. My children have grown up or are growing up in pemraculture. They understand and follow the ethics and principles. If I didn't birth them at home, raise them to be regenerative, or support them emotionally to be self confident, then maybe they would part of the problem. To me its far more important to have children that are raised in the culture of permaculture than to not have children. I have dedicate my life to Regenerative Parenting. To me that is the answer. Otherwise we could end up either in a distopian dictatorship where our reproductive rights are oppressed or we have Idiocracy, where the smart people stop having children and those who don't care or are dumb keep having lots and lots of children.

Ok. I did it. I am starting off with an Online Introduction Class. I would love to hear your feedback.

I feel y'all. I definitely prefer in person. But seems i the world wants everything online. I have been resistant to offering online classes. Maybe I just need to surrender.

How about a hybrid style? Seems like the best of both worlds.

Now that we are living in the future and you can learn from the comfort of your own couch. But how much do you learn? Or is it more enriching to be living in a active model where we can experience the lifestyle?


Which one is best for Permaculture and people?

Update:
There is still 2 apprenticeship opportunity available.
 
 * Social Systems Design and Management
                   and
 * Permaculture Design.

Email me if interested.
We now have a fully functioning Farm and Forest School happening onsite. I am also actively doing permaculture design work again too. You would be working with me directly.

Here is my bio:
Alana Bliss has been exploring, studying, and practicing holistic sustainable solutions for many years. She received her Permaculture Design Certification in 2005. Permaculture is a design science that merges all aspects of culture to create systems that increase carrying capacity of land while regenerating ecosystems. Alana has worked as a community builder, entrepreneur, and project manager with a focus on regenerative systems. 

Alana co-founded the Fruition Center for Holistic Ecology in Costa Rica after she and her family converted a diesel school bus RV to run on used veggie oil and drove to Costa Rica from Minnesota. There she facilitated volunteers, interns, and students in a hands on exploration of a regenerative lifestyle. Alana places special attention on social systems to support people in connecting with each other and their environment. 

Alana returned to Minneapolis where she and her husband started an Ecological Design and installation business. They used Permaculture ethics, principles, and design practices to transform urban spaces into sanctuaries for people and wildlife. Alana also worked with a nonprofit to distribute free organic food to people throughout the Twin Cities. 

Most recently, Alana has co-facilitated the establishment of a community farmstead in eastern Tennessee. She currently lives there with 4 of her 5 children, her husband, other families, and lots of animals.  She is also working on a village scale community that has a core set of guiding principles focused on health freedom, respect, and thrivability

Hi fellow Permies.

I am curious if y'all have any thoughts or advice about where to market my design work. I have just about 20 years of experience in Permaculture design and education, and when it comes to the work, I am solid. Marketing, on the other hand, is not so easy for me. My husband and I had a business in Minneapolis doing design and installation work, but that was very localized and I am looking to expand to national or even international audiences.

Is there a topic here for that? I am better at reading land than websites. lol

Thanks,
Alana Bliss

Definitely into the future to learn from my grandchildren. Having an adult son who grew up with a permaculture mindset and holistic parenting, I am amazed at the quality of human he is. I can only imagine how amazing his kids will be, not to mention the kids of all my other children who haven't grown up yet. In my family we have a "do better every generation" mentality. My parents always told me that it was my job to be better than them.

I think if these children create the world that they dream of and I can leave the legacy that I dream of for them, then the world will be an amazing and epic place that I would LOVE to see.

I have a lot of hope for the future, just outside of the smart cities.
