The permi-culture course made so much sense, practical and easier than 
conventional gardening that i could see a way forward in the dreams i had 
for my life . and it really inspired the rest of the group from 
Aberdeenshire as well, we re now doing project days once a fortnight were 
we spent a whole day doing some thing ( grey water , irirrigationnd rain 
water collection,  composting , renewables. gardening , low impact 
dwellings &I have never been so inspired before, and not just inspired but 
really doing it.  Life really is one big learning curve. Eileen (Student at 
the Earth Activist Training course, Scotland.)

Permaculture now seems to be a buzz word flowing through almost the entire 
activist scene in the UK, and ideas for making our ways of living the real 
protest are coming alive.  Rob (Student at the Earth Activist Training 
course, Scotland.)

A month has passed since the G8 protests in Scotland, and our frenzy of 
collecting tat, building compost toilets and greywater systems for the 
eco-village encampment, and then tatting down .  I ve had some time to rest 
up, relax, and begin to digest the whole experience.  I ve been to an 
inspiring workshop with David Holmgren, one of the founders of 
permaculture, who sees it as the strategy and tools needed to face a future 
of energy decline and growing ecological stress.  There s a deeper way that 
permaculture, magic, and political organizing come together, beyond 
lockdowns in gardens and compost toilets for actions.  And that s in the 
deep cultural shift we need to make in our ways of thinking, from a 
fixation with things to an understanding of patterns and systems and 
connections.

I m more than ever committed to teaching and sharing the skills I have in 
making that shift.  We re gearing up for our September Earth Activist 
Training in northern California, and as always we need help to make it 
available to those who most need it.  If you ve appreciated the updates and 
would like to support the work, a donation to the EAT scholarship fund will 
help us support the youth, the activists, and the older people in 
transition who want this training but can t afford it.
