Step 1 in building your permaculture property: With Verge permaculture
b"Let's take a look at the 1st step in the process of creating a design for building your permaculture property. \\n\\n\\n\\nIn working in regenerative design for a while and being connected with many other people who make their living this way, myself and a lot of others have begun to identify patterns in the questions and troubles that people reach out to us consultants and designers for. I haven't been in this line of work though nearly as long as the team at Verge Permaculture and so it felt really good to hear that many of the commonalities that they\\u2019ve seen from clients and students mirror my own experience. The truth is that permaculture is a very broad design philosophy that can feel overwhelming even with years of experience, especially at the beginning of a project when you\\u2019re still gathering information about your ecology and context and when you see so much potential in front of you. For this reason it can be extremely helpful to have a guide that outlines a process that can illuminate and simplify the options available to you and cut through the overwhelm.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nThroughout this season I\\u2019ll be teaming up with the members of Verge Permaculture to show you the process that they\\u2019ve outlined in their new book, Building your Permaculture Property.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nIn five clear steps, their process can guide you through the minefield of choices and pitfalls while designing your project and then implementing the design.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nStep 0 inspect your paradigm\\n\\n\\n\\nStep 1 Clarify your vision, values, and resources\\n\\n\\n\\nStep 2 Diagnose your resources for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats\\n\\n\\n\\nStep 3 Design your resources to meet your vision and values\\n\\n\\n\\nStep 4 Implement the Right Design That Will Most Improve Your Weakest Resource\\n\\n\\n\\nStep 5 Monitor Your Resources for Indicators of Well-being or Suffering\\n\\n\\n\\nIn today\\u2019s episode I\\u2019ll be speaking with Takota Coen of Coen Farm in Alberta Canada about Step 0 and Step 1 to start you on the process of design and implementation.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nFor those of you who want to get ahead of the game and learn from more than 15 of the biggest names in Permaculture on how to transform your property, the authors Takota, Rob, and Michelle will be hosting their online summit for the release of the book from April 23-25th. The summit is completely free and you can register at mypermacultureproperty.com\\n\\n\\n\\nSo let\\u2019s get started at the beginning. Takota began our discussion by explaining the 5 common problems that he and the team at Verge repeatedly hear about which lead to the 5 step process in the book.\\n\\n\\n\\nGet the resource packet for this episode!\\n\\n\\n\\nJoin the discord discussion channel to answer the weekly questions and learn new skills with the whole community\\n\\n\\n\\nLinks:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://vergepermaculture.ca/building-your-permaculture-property-summit\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://vergepermaculture.ca/\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://www.coenfarm.ca/\\n\\n\\n\\nWant to learn more about permaculture and regenerative design?
