Rhonda Baird - Being Present for Ourselves and Others
My guest for today is Rhonda Baird, editor of Permaculture Design Magazine, and designer and educator at Sheltering Hills Design, LLC.
We talk about the social side of permaculture and what we can do, as individuals and a community, to create boundaries that lead to deeper respect for ourselves and each other. To fight for something -- rather than against -- through small and slow solutions. The power we have as minority voices to create social change. The impact that being face-to-face with others can have in engaging with and resolving the issues facing our community and the broader world. This is a conversation about sitting with things that are often uncomfortable, but necessary for transforming the world we have into the one we want to see. Find out more about Rhonda and her work at permaculturedesignmagazine.com and shelteringhills.net. You’ll find links to those, and so much more, in the resource section of the show notes.
