*Welcome to the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute's final newsletter
for 2016:*
*TEACHING*
As I write, *Rowe Morrow is on her way back from teaching in a monastery in
Dehradun*, in the Himalayan foothills. She's been teaching students from
Tibet, Ladakh, Taiwan and Switzerland, and has also just graduated the *first
Bhutanese permaculturalists ever! *

*CHANGING THE STORY*
After a year of extraordinary geopolitical upheaval, there's never been a
greater *need for permaculture to share its stories in mainstream
media *to help
inspire and accelerate succession to our next systems ... systems that are
restorative and humane, and that provide strategies for dealing with the
mass movement of species around the world.
At the 2015 International Permaculture Convergence in London, *Permaculture
declared itself 'refugee friendly'.* Many of us are aching to assist
refugees who have lost so much, and Permaculture offers numerous avenues
for doing this.
The Institute is offering a *range of courses early in 2017* to continue to
provide the skill development needed to create our next systems:
1. *Permaculture Teacher Training Course*: 20-26 January
2. *Permaculture in Precarious Places*: Easter 13-19 April; *Permafund
Workshop*: 20-21 April
3. *Permaculture Design Course (PDC)*: Friday evenings and Saturdays 17
March - 13 May (excluding Easter and with a weekend away in Canowindra)
