Paul received a standing ovation after his permaculture velocity keynote.

The message was stop accusing and denigrating each other - support the gentle voices and people who are doing things.

Thanks Jocelyn, I googled #permavoices. Every quote would make for a great posting/ discussion on permies IMO.

"I've been involved in permaculture 30 years and this is the best event I've ever been to." --Geoff Lawton

Thanks Jocelyn ! Hope you all are having a great time and learning lots.

Will pauls speech be available for us unlucky stay at homers to watch?

A video crew taped the entire event. Diego (the awesome organizer) is currently deciding and researching how he will make that available.

Paul's speech was great and what a lot of people needed to hear. My wife and I have been having a great discussion stemming from it (I know Rachel talked to you Jocelyn for a bit about her feelings) I hope when the video is released that everyone will be able to watch it, it's definitely something that everyone who uses the internet socially could benefit from. It truly was a great conference and we're looking forward to more things like this.

Wow - I don't say this very often, but that is a way cool carpet.

I'd love to see video of these presentations! The nights here are shortening but still pretty empty and inspiration is worth its weight in compost!

Hi folks,

I wrote up a blog entry summarizing the whole PV1 conference, Can Permaculture Voices guide us through climate change? Paul's presentation title is the header for Day 3.


And also here is a link to the last day's Tweet Summary, which I labelled Generating Critical Mass http://storify.com/stephjoke/generating-mass-permaculture-voices
