MODULE 1 : INTRODUCTIONS

deep in the heart of the elphinstone rainforest 
in the mythic and beautiful land of dreamberry farms 
i was blessed to begin mid february the first module of 13 (each 2 days) 
in a collaborative permaculture design certification course 
with delvin and poxin 

this course is being designed as a dynamic process 
being both based on an existing structure 
and also co:created and designed by all of us now 
as a template for an evolutionary future model 
which will take shape as an online course and beyond 

the structure of this introductory first module was open and free 
both allowing us to cover many topics about permaculture ethics and definitions 
to plan the structure and scheduling of our future classes together 
and also opening the space for any level of personal work we might have 
as we enjoy each other's company and the beauty of the land 

we shared our deep personal histories and discussed the course material 
while walking and sitting and standing on various parts of this beautiful property 

 

 

 

 

poxin is the resident photographer and visionary designer 

 

delvin is our facilitator

i am lunaya : newly landed in elphinstone to live 
dreamberry farms is where i will be living for the next couple of months 
so this was also a bonding with my future home 

 


we started with a 15 minute drop each on the entire story of our lives, as it has led us to this point... delvin began :

our walk with molly the dog was ultimately beautiful, and afforded poxin a lot of great photos

our laptops in "the keep" were all set up and ready for many levels of interactive and personal work 

 

i am truly honoured to be participating in this wonderful course 
i love how the permaculture principles that we are learning 
are so fully modelled in the way that the course is set up 
such a dynamic and beautiful process 
that i cannot wait to watch unfold
