Long Term Goals

Be the most help to the greatest number of beings over the longest time with the least amount of effort. Continually refine my ethics and skillfully incorporate them into my decision making process. Incorporate permaculture ethics and principles into all aspects of my life. Be the most effective catalyst for regenerative action I am capable of being. Increase the capacity for permaculture aid world wide. Increase the capacity, availability and credibility of permaculture education.

Personal Vision

I envision a world of abundance, genuine love and deep compassion. I see permaculture, spiritual practice and nature emersion, as a path toward that vision. The Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design is one of the first steps along that path. Using the accreditation pathway to develop a cooperative organization that increases the capacity, availability and credibility of permaculture education allows my efforts to be shared and expanded upon, thereby benefiting the whole as well as the individual and sharing the surplus.
