CELL is a non-profit organisation that provides an experimental space for thinking, researching, disseminating and practising lifestyles with a low impact on the environment, and learning the skills for creating resilient post-carbon communities.
CELL is a non-profit organisation that provides an experimental space for thinking, researching, disseminating and practising lifestyles with a low impact on the environment, and learning the skills for creating resilient post-carbon communities.
CELL is inspired by the work of the Transition Towns and Permaculture movements, and aims to relocalise culture and economy and, in that creative process, improve resilience to the consequences of peak oil and climate change. Further to setting up a Transition group, CELL does education and research in the area of sustainable living.
The baseline of CELL could be summarised as aiming to
1. live sustainably and endorsing holistic thinking and action
2. foster a culture of solidarity and collaboration
3. skill up for living well in a post-carbon economy
CELL is also contributing to regional research on sustainability, energy autonomy and descent, and the post-carbon economy. If you are a holistically-minded researcher interested in working with us, and share our ethics and goals, do get in touch.
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.

PRI TeacherWith 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. |
