Project Summary

This is just me trying to find a sustainable way of life and teach others along the way. I especially want to help the poor have access to better information and options especially concerning food, energy, and housing.

Project Description

I consider 7-2-12 the start date for this project because that was the closing date on the land. Since then I have been working to transform it, my life, and hopefully the lives of others. So far I have been working alone for the most part, but that is starting to change as different neighbors drop in to see who the lady in the woods that their kids keep talking about is. Please take a look at the blog or look for revivalnatural on facebook, twitter, and youtube to see what's already been happening. I am new to tweets, blogs, and making videos so please be kind :)

As of right now I am getting plans together (with local architect and natural builder, April Magil) for a natural timberframed cordwood and cob off grid cottage. I am also getting everything in order to go non-profit and start raising money to help hold workshops and then go to the people's homes and help them build their own gardens, food forests, solar arrays, chicken coops, etc. I also want to introduce a barter system so people with more time than money can get fresh produce or massages (I'm a massage therapist) in exchange for time spent helping in the garden with the goal of growing it into a community wide bartering program involving both individuals and local businesses.

The image I choose was taken early the morning of 7-14-12 after I looked up while climbing out of a tarp shelter I had spent the night in and noticed the tiny clearing I had created the night before while building my shelter.

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.
