I'm excited to share here the beginnings of a (Carol Sanford inspired) framework in my second conversation with perma-powerhouse Meg McGowan (the first was here). It is a framework I feel is going to inform much of Making Permaculture Stronger's evolution moving forward. Here is a preliminary sketch laying it out as a starting point to crash test and improve together (or download as pdf file here). Huge thanks to Meg for taking the time to help me share and start developing it. Oh yes in this episode I also share my brand new project Designing for Life that will be developing in conversation with Making Permaculture Stronger moving forward. Exciting times my friends, exciting times!Visit Meg's blog here, the interview on the other podcast she mentioned here (episode three), her pyramid of wisdom here (note: compare with this). You can also go listen to the mentioned chats with Carol Sanford and Joel Glanzberg and Bill Reed by clicking on their names (where you'll find further links to their sites and work). Finally, if you would consider supporting Making Permaculture Stronger financially, then visit our support page and mega-thanks in advance for what you are making possible in terms of supporting and fast-tracking the evolution of permaculture's wildly exciting potential in the world.

Exploring a Framework for Thinking about Permaculture Design in conversation with Meg McGowan (E24)

Meg McGowanIn this episode I inquire into Australian permaculturalist Meg McGowan's design process. It is a rich chat in which Meg shares many brilliant insights after working as a permaculture design process facilitator / coach for many years.Meg out there taking it to the people...I met Meg at the 14th Australiasian Permaculture Convergence in April 2018 and was struck by her passion and clarity. While I didn't manage to get a selfie with Meg at the event this character did...David Holmgren and Meg McGowanMeg's (active!) blog is here, her and her partner's Permacoaching facebook page is here, and among so many other things she happens to be a permaculture design cartoonist! Check these out and there are a bunch more here.One Permaculture Design ProcessPlanet PermacultureHUGE gratitude to the wonderful Ben Mallinson for creating the new intro and outro music - a massive improvement (no offence to my mate Nath who created the old one on his phone in about three minutes). Ben has been volunteering his time to help out with several of my projects as we explore ways of getting him involved in my professional consultancy work - and I have very much appreciated his assistance.Now I should confess that Meg and I recorded this chat way back in September 2018. It took this long to get the thing edited and released. I guess that's a good sign in that this project is a hobby and when push comes to shove, and non-hobby parts of life call, it waits a while :-). Still, I sense that things will be warming up from here and I envisage releasing at least one podcast episode per month for a while (and the next one will come out in about two weeks).Thanks again Meg and I'm delighted to have you as a friend and colleague and look forward to our next yarn :-).Let's wrap up with Meg's take on a condensed set of permaculture principles:

A fascinating and informative chat, co-host Rich Bowden talks to Meg on a wide range of issues, all loosely based on permaculture ethics and principles. Meg talks on everything from applying permaculture in the home and your life, to the rise of independent candidates in Australian politics, to how to talk to people who disagree with you (hint: it's all about the tenth permaculture principle!)
