Hola!
My name is Marie and I have been subscribed to the permaculture mailing
list for one year. Last year I lived in Detroit, Michigan, supporting
the urban farming movement by helping the local farms in the city of
Detroit- in the garden and buying local produce. I was enrolled in two
permaculture courses taught and hosted by Killian O' Brian, Larry
Santoyo and Keith Johnson. I also assisted in the construction of roof
thatching with harvested phragmites reeds at Deanne Bednar's Strawbale
Studio. The year I lived in Detroit, I fell in love with the
Permaculture vision, learning and integrating the concepts into my
everyday habits.
Since November 2011, I said goodbye to America to tour Latin America by
way of riding my bicycle. My plan is to ride as far as Patagonia. I
crossed the border of Nogales, Mexico and rode though Mexico 4,000
kilometers. Currently, I am in San Cristobal de las Casas, weeks away
from entering Guatemala. I just began to travel with my partner, Piem,
who is expert in music signal processing and is involved in the Debian
project. He is equipped with high definition video cameras and we will
be filming more, creating small videos about what we are doing.
My inquiry is: would anyone recommend me Central American (even South
American) permaculture recourses? I would be interested to visit
projects supporting indigenous cultures, environment protection,
natural construction, and organic farming- anything and everything to do
with permaculture. More so, I want to share these experiences and
learning opportunities with my blog followers and facebook friends. I
try to take every opportunity to share these holistic concepts with
everyone, in hopes that others will be inspired, as I have been.
I want to add that I am not looking to enroll in a PDC. But if you have
information related to this, I am open to it.
