Series of zoom presentations and site tours. The Convergence between Preparedness, Resilience and Permaculture. Here is  the schedule.

Here is
the link to a short essay, Preparedness, Resilience and Permaculture.


I am making good progress on my book, "A Primer For Paradigm Shift" but have taken a big tangent to write an essay and now on YouTube an illustrated essay describing this exciting convergence between the Planning Goals and Paradigm Shift. I was stunned when I read the Goals on the City website - the Primer is a perfect fit for addressing the Goals - affordable housing, sustainability, climate change, community building. This essay is about creating an unprecedented partnership between the City and the Community. 
 
Please contact me if you would like to receive updates on the book. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to contact me with questions and comments.


Here are links to articles, you tube and audio that focus on Primer material.
Paradigm Shift episodes on Spirit in Action Radio.  Here is the link

There are nine parts to the paradigm shift series on YouTube.  Here is the link
A series of paradigm shift articles at Post Carbon's on line Resilience Magazine.  Here is the link.

Learning  to  live  within
our  ecological  and  economic  boundaries,  or  failing  to, will  be  the defining product of our time. Trends in global relations, resources, economics, social well being & the environment clearly call for dramatic changes in how we define our needs & how we take care of them.


Capitalism, as we know it, is not compatible with a green & peaceful culture, economy and planet.  There are other choices to be made. The content and links found on this website describe a wide range of allies, assets and actions for creating a preferred future, from home scale to neighborhood and beyond.

The transformation to live within our economic & environmental boundaries can take place in our homes, neighborhoods, streets and communities. Paradigm shift is now. There are many allies & assets to work with, many examples to learn from & many benefits to be gained.  No permission or legislation needed.
