Hi Lawrence and everyone interested...

I asked  if she was 
the originator of the perma-psychology list and could she  please 
announce it to this list in the hopes of gaining new people to  discuss
important topics and that this particular thread would be a good  topic 
to pick apart, ethics in permaculture also.
In whatever spirit this suggestion was intended, I am happy to give  
information about the Perma-Psychology ListServ discussion group which I started  
some time ago with Craig Chalquist.  It's at Google Groups and is called  
"perma-psychology."  If you're interested, go to google groups and just  sign 
yourself up for it. You can control how much email you receive (every  
email, once a day, once a week or no email and you can just read and post  
online).
 
The list invites people to explore the application of permaculture  
principles, ethics, concepts and practices to various aspects of People Care,  
including individual and group psychology, communication and social  issues.
 
Dr. Craig Chalquist and I have just written an article exploring this  
topic, which will be posted at our website _www.ecotherapyheals.com_ 
(http://www.ecotherapyheals.com)  in the next  week or so. Craig is an ecopsychology 
professor, Core Faculty at John F Kennedy  University in the San Francisco Bay 
Area and a Master Gardener active in  his community garden. We co-edited 
"Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind,"  published by Sierra Club Books in 
2009 and have both taken the PDC. And as I  think most of you know, my 
husband Larry and I tend a PmC urban backyard food  forest with over 100 fruit 
and nut trees etc.
 
And while I warmly invite you to join us on the perma-psychology list serv, 
 I believe it may also be important to discuss People Care issues from time 
to  time on this list as well. People Care is critical to the success of 
any  permaculture design or project, large or small, and I would guess that 
more PmC  projects fail for lack of good interpersonal communication than any 
other cause,  which is why I'm so interested in applying our wonderful 
principles and ethics  to this arena as well as land care.
