Silas from Kufunda calls for a permaculture community of practice:
1.The need for the permaculutre community is based on the need for diversity but be able to work together. In other words I would want to put the princilpes of permaculture into everyday life not just in the garden but also with the people around me. For example, in permaculture we talk about diversity as a desirable situation because there is security among the plants, for example some of the plants can act as barriers for other plants, while others can provide shelter.These plants live together hamoniously without competion. I want to transfer that to the community that I live in so that we see we can live together besides our differences.
2.The purpose is to build the community that is based on love, sharing and accept the differences that might be caused by our backgrounds just like the diversity in nature.
3.The principles that I would like to wotk with are:
-to treat each other with love and respect
-to listen from the heart and without judgement
-to have time for games and fun
