What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is the redefinition of the art of living.

Its theory in practice is the process of humans connecting and reconnecting with the Earth. Perhaps it is a satisfying venture because through learning the flows and patterns of our planet (and universe), we are learning about the same patterns and rhythms that are present within ourselves. We see the patterns on the outside of ourselves, and we feel them from the inside, because we are made of those same patterns.

Defining Permaculture mirrors the nature of Permaculture (and life) itself; it is a cyclic process of discovery, learning and refining.

The first definition of Permaculture I wrote during class: "Permaculture is the intentional co-creating of culture and community to bring all that is into alignment with the laws of nature for the greater benefit, wellbeing, and fulfillment of all."
