We’re proud to be sponsoring the upcoming Permaculture Association of the Northeast (PAN) Roundtable Discussion on Decolonizing Permaculture event Tuesday, December 7, 2021 – 6:30pm to 8pm (online).
PAN’s mission is to increase the resilience of the Northeast region by strengthening the regional permaculture network and increasing access to relevant education and resources. You can read more about their PAN and their organizational values here. This event is the first in their Uprooting and Unearthing Virtual Engagement Series.
The theme of Uprooting and Unearthing includes: decolonization and equity; the role of spirituality and Indigenous traditions in permaculture; the inner processes of learning, reflection, and discovery; and taking responsibility through action. As we begin to uproot the systems of thought and practice that run counter to Earth care, people care, and fair share, we remember that growing food, building soil, protecting water, regenerating healthy ecosystems, and fostering community is sacred work.“

As we started to promote this event, an important point was illuminated by our network and community: While rooted in good intentions, the word “Decolonizing” may not have been the best choice of words for titling this important event and discussion. Rather than change the name of the event, we decided to lead with this idea when we meet on Dec. 7th. Join in on the conversation or receive a recording by visiting and registering on the event page.
