I am seeking ways to help Community Spaces, a UK lottery funded open grants scheme to assist local groups create or improve open spaces to improve the quality of life in their neighbourhood. Community groups have been invited to apply for funding and support and Community Spaces will provide a network of trained facilitators to help them turn ideas into reality, advising them on issues like biodiversity and other specialist knowledge. To evaluate applications from these community groups, I would appreciate your advice from a permaculture perspective as to what measures local community projects might take to improve open space (e.g play areas, community gardens, parks, wildlife areas, ponds, courts and village greens) as well as to reclaim derelict land. Your Living Mandala web site suggests there is a fruitful collaboration of permaculture activists in California whose ideas would be appreciated here in the UK.Iechyd Da Pedr |

I am eternally grateful for your powerful visions and limitless optimism in cocreating the new world. Every time we connect I feel like we could talk forever about all of the amazing projects actualizing in our fields, and I am excited to be clarifying how we are going to collaborate within such potency! You are a beautiful balance of softness and strength, spirit and strategy, vision and action. May we continue to weave our web of light within sacred ritual, song, education, community building and the design and development of regenerative human culture. You are my brother, my ally and my friend. Thank you for the blessing that you are in my life and to the world.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you... while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
