Samenvatting:

An in-depth look at the permaculture components Earthshare, Fairshare and Peoplecare with, for the first time ever, a specific emphasis on the spiritual aspects of Permaculture design.



Permaculture design as a divine creative activity. Permaculture is about designing sustainable human settlements. It is a philosophical, spiritual and practical approach to land-use integrating microclimate, functional plants, animals, soils, water management and human needs into intricately connected, highly productive systems. Permaculture looks for the patterns embedded in our natural world as inspirations for designing solutions to the many challenges we are presented with today. Observation is a basic component of Permaculture design in practice; this includes spiritual self-observation. The authors look at the components Earthshare, Fairshare and Peoplecare, with a specific emphasis on the spiritual aspects of Permaculture. The Findhorn Foundation Ecovillage and other ecovillages around the world are used as examples.
