Shikigami, located on the Izu peninsula, was established by Dion Workman and Asako Kitaori in February 2011. At Shikigami Workman and Kitaori are establishing a forest garden influenced by the philosophies of natural farming and deep ecology and the permaculture design system.

Simple in means, rich in ends, life at Shikigami focuses on the manifestation of abundance with minimal energy or external inputs. Traditional knowledge of wild foods, medicinal plants and forest crafts is researched and practiced. Appropriate traditional technologies are being revived and combined with new insights and understanding.

In this presentation Dion Workman will show photographs of Shikigami’s first year and talk about the intentions, techniques, and experiences to date. The challenges and rewards of the couple’s back-to-basics lifestyle will be discussed along with their vision for the future.

二人がShikigamiと呼ぶ彼らの里山に囲まれた暮らしの場は、伊豆半島にあります。2011年2月からDionとアサコさんがここに暮らし始めて１年が経ちました。２人はこの場所で、自然農、ディープエコロジー、パーマカルチャーの思想から影響を受けながら、フォレスト・ガーデンを実現化していっています。

よりシンプルな手段で、より豊かな結果をえる。Shikigamiでの暮らしは、必要最小限のエネルギーと必要最小限の外部からの資材の投入で、より豊かな収穫を得ることを目指しています。里山での暮らしで二人は、食べられる野草や薬草、森の暮らしでの工芸などの先人の知恵を学び、実践しています。新たな見方と理解を持って、この先人の知恵が再び見直されてきています。

今回のプレゼンテーションでは、Dion自身がShikigamiのこの一年の様子を、写真を踏まえて、目指していることやそのためのテクニック、経験を語ってくれます。原点回帰の暮らしを始めてぶつかった課題や、逆にこの暮らしだからこそ得ることのできた恵みを、これからのShikigamiのヴィジョンとともにお話しします。

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
