Tech got the best of me today. Trying my best to keep up with content!

If that's your thing, why not lend us a hand?

Since we always talk about Permaculture -- here's a live example of a practical application of the Principle of Disorder. This principle simply states that any system can only handle a certain amount of resources without being sent into a state of disorder. That amount being how much the system can use productively.

We wouldn't have accepted the chicks -- or we would have found new homes for them immediately -- if we didn't know that our system could handle them. We have an appropriate coop and the ability to feed and tend to them along with the rest of our flock.

How often do we even think about this before bringing new resources into our system? When we grow a garden, are we able to make use of everything we produce? Can we consume, preserve, sell, and gift what we produce? If not, the excess causes disorder in our system.

We can apply this to buying toys for children, new gadgets, shoes, clothes, cars, etc. Perhaps much of the stress people are under could be remedied by considering the Principle of Disorder!

Just saying!

Join me in creating one of the many local, resilient, regenerative communities that our world needs, one of the examples of how we can live in harmony with nature, one of the ways we start to decolonize and remember our place on this amazingly diverse planet.

Alone I can only make a small difference. Together we can change course.

Together - a global network of interconnected locally sustainable communities and initiatives all working towards a sustainable future by regenerating landscapes, reorganizing society, remembering old ways, reorienting thought processes, restructuring economies, and relearning how to be - together on this planet.

You can choose. This or That.

I choose This!!

Join me!

Swales play a key role in any permaculture landscape. Their function is to slow, soak and spread water, keeping as much water within our landscapes as possible while preventing erosion and improving soil fertility.

We have had the great fortune to learn from people more experienced than us in earthworks and to share what we’ve learned with everyone who visits us, whether as a volunteer, a tour participant, or a learner at any of our workshops and courses.

There is always more to learn and more to do to improve the land we steward. Would you like to learn more about swales? Let us know in the comments.

Los swales desempeñan un papel clave en cualquier paisaje permacultural. Su función es ralentizar, empapar y dispersar el agua, reteniendo la mayor cantidad posible de agua dentro de nuestros paisajes mientras previenen la erosión y mejoran la fertilidad del suelo.

Hemos tenido la gran fortuna de aprender de personas con más experiencia que nosotros en obras de tierra y de compartir lo aprendido con todos los que nos visitan, ya sea como voluntarios, participantes en un tour o aprendices en cualquiera de nuestros talleres y cursos.

Siempre hay más que aprender y más por hacer para mejorar la tierra que gestionamos. ¿Te gustaría aprender más sobre los swales? Cuéntanoslo en los comentarios.

We are creating a system that supports all life and are calling in volunteers & co-founding members.

We envision a diverse multi-generational, multi-cultural space where everyone works together to co-create a sustainable, regenerative & resilient model for living in harmony with Mother Earth. We are re-learning how to live sustainably, abundantly, & cooperatively on our planet in a new yet ancient way.

Giving new purpose to trash and combining it with natural building materials to create unique structures is one way we go about that. And this sounds like fun to you! You know how to build and have experience in eco, natural, and are excited to learn new techniques and work with different materials.

Ideally you envision a place where all dwellings and structures are designed purposefully to serve multiple functions and have the skills to help make it happen. You can look at an old truck, a pile of straw, and your natural surroundings and see a million possibilities.

Let us know your questions in the comments and please share!

Estamos creando un sistema que apoya toda la vida y hacemos este llamado a voluntarios y miembros cofundadores.

Imaginamos un espacio diverso, multigeneracional y multicultural donde todos trabajen juntos para co-crear un modelo sostenible, regenerativo y resiliente para vivir en armonía con la Madre Tierra. Estamos reaprendiendo a vivir de forma sostenible, abundante y cooperativa en nuestro planeta de una manera nueva pero antigua.

Dar un nuevo propósito a la basura y combinarla con materiales naturales para crear estructuras únicas es una forma de hacerlo. ¡Y esto te parece divertido! Sabes cómo construir, tienes experiencia en eco, natural y te entusiasma aprender nuevas técnicas y trabajar con diferentes materiales.

Idealmente, imaginas un lugar donde todas las viviendas y estructuras estén diseñadas con propósito para cumplir múltiples funciones y tener las habilidades necesarias para hacerlo realidad. Puedes mirar un camión viejo, un montón de paja y tu entorno natural y ver un millón de posibilidades.

Mads, his partner and their 2-year old son were with us for several weeks earlier in the year. Here he talks about the daily routine here at 8th Life Panama and how it was for them staying here with a 2-year old.

It's lovely looking back on what people have to say about their time here and remembering all of the cooperation and sharing. Our biggest hope is that everyone takes away tons of good experience and memories when they leave - well, that and that they'll come visit again.

We are re-learning how to live sustainably, abundantly, & cooperatively on our planet in a new yet ancient way.

You understand that creating this new way of being where we return to ancient but now lost ways, in connection with one another and with the earth requires us to shed baggage and relearn how to relate authentically. You have the skills, maturity and patience to help us through this.

Ideally you practice co-counseling, NVC, convergent facilitation and other modalities and are skilled in facilitating diverse groups and helping resolve conflicts. You embody care.

Entiendes que crear esta nueva forma de ser en la que volvemos a caminos antiguos, pero ahora perdidos, en conexión unos con otros y con la tierra, requiere que nos desprendamos del equipaje y reaprendamos a relacionarnos auténticamente. Tienes las habilidades, la madurez y la paciencia para ayudarnos a superar esto.

Idealmente, practicas co-escucha, NVC, facilitación convergente y otras modalidades, y tienes habilidades para facilitar grupos diversos y ayudar a resolver conflictos. Encarnas el cuidado.
