My own opinion is that the reason why New Agers tend to dominate permaculture groups is because wealthy hippie types seem to outnumber other types. Wealthy hippies tend to have self-assuring beliefs which make them feel good, and help assuage any guilt they have for being so privileged in a very messed up world. I personally despise New Age religion and find a lot of it in direct contradiction to permaculture principles. A New Ager recently told me that the black Darfurians were being attacked because they had rape and murder obsessed minds.
