Geoff Lawton’s New Permaculture Masterclass and PDC

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

In many ways Geoff Lawton has shaped TSP far more then just by taking his valuable time to serve on our expert council and come on the show many times for interviews.  It was Geoff that turned me onto permaculture.  About 4 months after I started TSP someone sent me his first little video called Greening the Desert. It wasn’t that well produced but it changed forever the way I saw the world and what could be done.  I soon discovered Geoff’s mentor and founder of Permaculture Bill Mollison, I consumed all of his videos especially the Global Gardner Series.  … Continue reading →

It is always and extreme pleasure to have Geoff Lawton on the show. Geoff is who I received my PDC certification from, he is also my biggest mentor. It is my firm belief that like attracts like. The common bond Geoff and I share isn’t really permaculture it is a fundamental desire to help others and to do so mostly by teaching. Today I had planned to discuss a lot of technical questions with Geoff, how do you ____ etc.  But quickly we moved into a much more high level discussion. How would Geoff design a solution for the entire … Continue reading →

Today we have the great pleasure of having Geoff Lawton on to discuss many of his new upcoming free videos, his coming online PDC and how he feels Permaculture is changing the world. There is a lot going on in the Permaculture world, even some in fighting, I always love the way Geoff stays above this type of thing but I do give him the opportunity to talk about what qualifies one to “teach permaculture” and what a PDC is really supposed to be about today.  We then turn to some other topics such as, making a living with permaculture, … Continue reading →

Geoff Lawton Just Did Something Amazingly Cool

Geoff Lawton’s Next Video – Permaculture in Micro Spaces

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

One common trap that I see play out over and over and over again with people new to permaculture is what I call an monocular view.   Or a one dimensional view.  They see a desert project and so permacultureis for deserts, or they see a project in the tropics and feel it is only for where bananas can be grown. In the case of Geoff’s recent videos two views like this came to a head from this audience, they seem to be. 1.  Permaculture and Geoff’s designs are only for large properties 2.  All permaculture designs are based on large swales … Continue reading →
