I know there is cooperation regionally in more established areas and didn't
mean to suggest otherwise. I think there could be more of it between regions
and that could happen with or without a National Convergence. I appreciate
Loren making the suggestion and reaching out. 

I'm in Florida which is definitely pioneer territory, but we are starting to
get more effective cooperation going with our first statewide convergence in
January. I did PR and marketing in my previous to permaculture life and
remain interested in exploring cross pollination type collaborations with the
purpose of amping up exposure to permaculture and penetration of quality
information about permaculture values, principles and design techniques more
deeply and broadly into the culture. A permaculture principle is using the
energies in the system, and my energy has value if it is recognized and
utilized.

Koreen

Totally agreed about the cooperation, including marketing cooperation, and
about your comment  "we might learn more from one another and become more
effective as teachers."

Sorry, but I don't know what part of the US you are in and about the level of
cooperation between permaculture teachers there. 

But I would like to point out that there already exists a lot of cooperation
between permaculture teachers in many regions of the US. The area I am most
familiar with is my home region of the Pacific Northwest.  There has been
lots of collaboration and cooperation and exchange bettween pc teachers in
our area over the decades.  Lots happens at our annual Pacific Northwest
Permaculture Convergence.  A lot is coming together right now in our regional
association of pc teachers, Cascadian Permaculture Institute. It aims for
high standards of teaching and for collaboration between CPI members.  CPI is
just now coming together formally, but we have many years of informal working
together. 

i know that there is lots of intra-regional cooperation in many other parts
of the US as well. California, Southwest, Colorado, Northeast, Southeast,
upper Midwest, etc.

Of course there is a long ways to go and much more to do, but I didn't want
any new reader to get the impression there is no cooperation among
permaculture teachers. 

At some point we will have a North American Permaculture Convergence to
further this process on a national level.  Until then every permaculture
teacher should be doing their due diligence to connect with and cooperate
with other permaculture teachers in their region.

Permacordially,

I think we can learn from successful marketing techniques no matter who is
doing them. I have ethical problems with some things he does, like start
"social" Facebook pages and hide who he is on them and then use them to
market his products. 

I would like to see more cooperation between permaculture teachers. I think
it would be easier if we pooled marketing and made more effort to get to know
one another and our strengths. I think that if we worked together more and
used some (ethical) marketing strategy, we would all have more than enough
students, and we might learn more from one another and become more effective
as teachers.

It looks like the campaign is going good, despite some obvious concerns
regarding the content/teacher/ethics.  (I have never met this person, so I
cannot vouch either way for their credibility).

Maybe there is something to learn from this?  Cooperation not competition...? 
I agree with the concept personally, I think the more people are exposed to
PC the better.  But now again we are back to the issue of
curriculum/accreditation/consistency- what are they learning and is it
similar to what we all "should" be teaching.  (Obviously the hard part with
an online course is for students to have hands-on experience.)

Anyone can object to the campaign if you believe it is using "prohibited
content" here:

I monitored it last year, and it is a very thorough, in-depth look at
permaculture design. 20 week course with demanding course work and lots of
information provided. The students provided detailed and in depth designs. I
don't have sufficient data about the other courses to comment.

Thank you Koreen,

You are totally right.  I may have sounded a little cantankerous in my last
email.  There is tremendous room for further cooperation and promoting of
permaculture in the USA and you are right that it doesn't need a national
convergence to do so. There is at least one move afoot to set up a national
registrar of certified/qualified teachers. This dicussion has been ongoing
over the years and is always fraught with controversy.  Hopefully we can
increase collaboration at the national level.  To this end, I have been
promoting a national convergence for some time, including on this list serve.
Most anyone with any real gumption already has their hands full.

There are a number of national portals for permaculture
information/websites/organizations/sites on the internet. I usually start at
the Permaculture Activist, PRI/USA, the PermaculturePortal and there are many
others.  Who has got the most definitive list at this point?

Looking forward to watching the developments on the national scene. Your pr
and marketing skills are certainly needed.

I know there is cooperation regionally in more established areas and didn't
mean to suggest otherwise. I think there could be more of it between regions
and that could happen with or without a National Convergence. I appreciate
Loren making the suggestion and reaching out. 

I'm in Florida which is definitely pioneer territory, but we are starting to
get more effective cooperation going with our first statewide convergence in
January. I did PR and marketing in my previous to permaculture life and
remain interested in exploring cross pollination type collaborations with the
purpose of amping up exposure to permaculture and penetration of quality
information about permaculture values, principles and design techniques more
deeply and broadly into the culture. A permaculture principle is using the
energies in the system, and my energy has value if it is recognized and
utilized.

Koreen

Totally agreed about the cooperation, including marketing cooperation, and
about your comment  "we might learn more from one another and become more
effective as teachers."

Sorry, but I don't know what part of the US you are in and about the level of
cooperation between permaculture teachers there. 

But I would like to point out that there already exists a lot of cooperation
between permaculture teachers in many regions of the US. The area I am most
familiar with is my home region of the Pacific Northwest.  There has been
lots of collaboration and cooperation and exchange bettween pc teachers in
our area over the decades.  Lots happens at our annual Pacific Northwest
Permaculture Convergence.  A lot is coming together right now in our regional
association of pc teachers, Cascadian Permaculture Institute. It aims for
high standards of teaching and for collaboration between CPI members.  CPI is
just now coming together formally, but we have many years of informal working
together. 

i know that there is lots of intra-regional cooperation in many other parts
of the US as well. California, Southwest, Colorado, Northeast, Southeast,
upper Midwest, etc.

Of course there is a long ways to go and much more to do, but I didn't want
any new reader to get the impression there is no cooperation among
permaculture teachers. 

At some point we will have a North American Permaculture Convergence to
further this process on a national level.  Until then every permaculture
teacher should be doing their due diligence to connect with and cooperate
with other permaculture teachers in their region.

Permacordially,

Michael Pilarski

I think we can learn from successful marketing techniques no matter who is
doing them. I have ethical problems with some things he does, like start
"social" Facebook pages and hide who he is on them and then use them to
market his products. 

I would like to see more cooperation between permaculture teachers. I think
it would be easier if we pooled marketing and made more effort to get to know
one another and our strengths. I think that if we worked together more and
used some (ethical) marketing strategy, we would all have more than enough
students, and we might learn more from one another and become more effective
as teachers.

It looks like the campaign is going good, despite some obvious concerns
regarding the content/teacher/ethics.  (I have never met this person, so I
cannot vouch either way for their credibility).

Maybe there is something to learn from this?  Cooperation not competition...? 
I agree with the concept personally, I think the more people are exposed to
PC the better.  But now again we are back to the issue of
curriculum/accreditation/consistency- what are they learning and is it
similar to what we all "should" be teaching.  (Obviously the hard part with
an online course is for students to have hands-on experience.)

Anyone can object to the campaign if you believe it is using "prohibited
content" here:

La Familia...another great debate that brings up many issues that need to
be discussed openly and positively constructively as has been developing
here. These types of issues will continue to expose themselves and have
been for some time in other networks across the globe. Scott Pittman and
myself along with a small team of others have already mentioned the need to
consider how to evolve global systems and structures that connect and
relate to all, being inclusive and not exclusive but being able to develop
open communication to satisfy the growing need of Permaculture and all
those that join the family at whatever level from whatever trait or
characteristic.

We have talked also about continental and national conferences to recognise
such entities that then support greater regional conferences , like the
Pacific NW and the smaller bioregions that these are then made up of and
the many individual institutes other bodies business entities and
individuals operating at all levels within. All ideally, having the honesty
and integrity to espouse and deliver strong well experienced curricula
supported by excellent models on the ground. OK there are plenty that do
not serve this and are consequently destroying the greater integrity, so
our collective challenge is to reinforce the strong and true dimensions of
Permaculture but also recognise those that are weak and falling short, then
do something about it. PNW may be a good model to build from.

Once again I support Skeeta's call "At some point we will have a North
American Permaculture Convergence to further this process on a national
level.? Until then every permaculture teacher should be doing their due
diligence to connect with and cooperate with other permaculture teachers in
their region." This in my opinion will go a long way to evolving the
solutions needed in this design challenge. So Skeeta...just jump in the
deep end and call the conference. I'm sure you will be amazed at the
positive support you will get.

I'm not American but my great grandparents were and I personally still
speak loudly of the idea of having such a conference at Pine Ridge. Koreen
have you built that scenario and strategic plan yet ?

Kia ora
