Our next Community Campfire is all about rethinking home energy, and we've got two great perspectives to bring to the conversation. 🌱

We'll be joined by Luke and Joy Justice from Hockerton Housing Project in Nottinghamshire, who will share their experience of living in a community designed around sustainable homes, renewable energy and shared infrastructure.

We'll also hear from Howard Johns, an energy engineer and long-standing community energy campaigner, who will explore what we can do in the homes we already have.

Together, they'll help us think about what's possible, what we can learn from existing examples, and where we might start in our own homes and communities.

📅 Tuesday 20 October
💻 19:00 - 20:30 (BST) · Online
🎟️ Free for members · £6 for non-members

Part of our autumn Energy Campfire series.

Come along, hear from people with experience, and bring your questions.

Have you been thinking about learning permaculture? Maybe you've been curious for a while - reading, listening, following, saving things for later, and wondering where to begin.

You don't need to know everything before you start. You just need to dive in. 🌱

Our Introduction to Permaculture with is designed to help you do exactly that, to begin exploring permaculture principles and systems thinking, learn practical design tools, and start applying what you learn to your own life.

You'll learn through four live online sessions, self-paced study and a practical design project of your own, with a year of access to the course materials.

The course starts soon - on 3 October. Places are available on a sliding scale, from £110.

If you've been waiting for the right time to start exploring permaculture, this could be it.

What if we looked at energy a little differently? 🌱

This term, we’re exploring energy through a permaculture lens... not just the energy we consume, but the energy already moving through the world around us.

Sunlight, heat, wind, gravity and living things are all part of these flows. And when we pay attention to them, we can start designing in ways that work with what’s already there.

For instance, a sunny window can warm a room. Sunlight can dry our clothes or grow food. A tree can provide food, shade, shelter and habitat.

Energy is all around us. What could we do with what we already have?

What does it mean to work with energy, rather than simply trying to use less of it?

Join permaculture educator and designer Aranya for our next Online Community Campfire on Tuesday 22 September as we begin exploring energy in permaculture.

We’ll look beyond household energy and retrofitting to explore how energy can be understood and worked with across different contexts, from gardens and farms to conservation and the built environment.

🌱 Tuesday 22 September
🕖 19:00–20:30 BST
💻 Online
🎟️ Free for members | £6 for non-members

This is the first event in our new Designing with Energy Campfire series. Book this session on its own, or come along to the series and explore the theme from different perspectives.

Where does energy belong in a permaculture design? ⚡

Energy is all around us - in our homes and buildings, our communities, our food systems and the landscapes we live in. But how often do we stop to think about the systems behind it, and how we might design them differently?

This autumn, our online Community Campfire series Designing with Energy will explore some of these questions with people putting permaculture thinking into practice in very different ways.

🌱 4 Campfires
⚡ 4 perspectives
🔥 Lots to think about

Join us online throughout the autumn. Our first Campfire with Aranya starts on Tuesday 22 September.

Free for members · £6 for non-members
