Live-in learning/sharing opportunity

Posted by JJ Farmer about 9 years ago

Would you like to live in a permaculture sanctuary?

In exchange for a large and beautiful room in a big house right on the beach at Bungan (between Newport and Mona Vale), you would help out in the garden four or five mornings (or afternoons) a week, learning while you work. You would also have some small tasks to do on a daily basis, like feeding the fish or locking up the chickens.

We have big permaculture gardens set over 3 blocks, a seed raising greenhouse, chooks, an extensive aquaponics set up (in a converted swimming pool), 2 native bee hives, 2 European bee hives, worm farms, maggot breeders and heaps of other fun stuff.

The ideal person would be female, a keen learner, with some permaculture or gardening training or experience, very reliable (you would be relied on to feed fish, take care of chooks etc), easy to get along with and take directions well.

You would be sharing the house with myself and my partner, one other housemate and (usually) 2 wwoofers! We have a friendly and dynamic house, which is well set up so you can enjoy company when you want it or your own space. We generally share the cooking and meals/food can be included in your stay if you are willing to share in the food preparation tasks (this are pretty broad as we make our own jun, kefir, bone broth, preserves, ferments, nut butters etc).

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.
