Warren Brush
from his IPC10 Conference Talk: Permaculture & Peace (17 sept 2011, Amman, Jordan)
"We have gotten really good at designing on the landscape
but .. we still need to be doing work for the people-care ethic
It's something we have to really look at in depth in these
next 30yrs of the PC movement
& it's at the root of peace-making
I've seen so many good designs on the ground, all around the world,
that were abandoned because the people could not work it out any longer
they couldn't figure out how to work with the diversities within their group
The People-Care ethic is crucial
in how are we going to move forward as a group
How do we translate the People-Care ethic into practice,
to be most effective?

8. An expanded PDC in 5 Modules: 1. People Care 2. Design Techniques 3. Earth Care 4. Energy & EcoTech 5. EcoEconomy ( 6. Transition) which we later discovered was (/ decided to name as) an "Integral PC Curriculum" (the PDC+++) Equivalent to the standard PDC An advanced PDC & action-learning course
9. AQAL = All Quadrants All Levels ... Etc. = The Integral Model (Ken Wilber) Permaculture is by DEFINITION an Integral Science .. in theory Although in PRACTICE it too often isn't PEOPLE-CARE & ECO-ECONOMY EARTH-CARE & ECO- TECH DESIGN is the beneficial association of all of these components SOCIAL People, culture , finance, commerce, etc. ABSTRACT time, Ethics, data, Models, etc. SITE Landscape, water, climate, fauna, flora, etc. ENERGY technologies, structures, connections The left or internal quadrants in AQAL The right or external quadrants in AQAL

12. individual collective internal external Current PC is BRILLIANT at designing with these domains: the concrete, physical, visible & least controversial known models. If we give up on the SCIENCE of these domains, we leave a vacuum that gets filled with lots of NewAge pseudo-spirituality Site & Energy components Invisible & Social components PEOPLE-CARE & ECO-ECONOMY EARTH-CARE & ECO- TECH 1) "we need to be doing work for the people-care ethic"
13. 8 years of Action-Learning Programmes (3-5mths) RESULTS: too few (10%) made significant shifts in their internal or external development as PC designers (compared to resources input) OBTAIN a YIELD Although they can make wonderful holidays &/or can be big wake-up calls, we didn't wish to add to an already saturated eco-experience-shopping market (a new eco-consumerism for westerners )
14. Ineffectiveness of green movement: We don't design organizations well (we're not taught how) lack of cooperation or fertile connections between movements (inside & outside of PC) not enough 'joining up the dots' happening Lack of collective intelligence means 3) Increase Collective Intelligence

16. C. (Spain): "All of this (that is happening with the course: classes, my study circle..) is a great stimulus for me to move out of my comfort zone ... in which I am still very hidden. Lucky this lasts one year!!
17. MJ (Spain): "Well, in summary: the best cash I've spent in my life! I love everything I've learned, am playing with what am learning in my immediate surroundings, I feel enriched on a personal level. I thank you for letting this be a free process for each of us & for offering us so many tools for completing the learning to the extent that each of us wants to.
18. D. (Belgium): "Module 1 was very inspiring for me, though I don't feel like I have grasped all of it yet. The integral model stuff is really brilliant, I use that a lot. Also the group exercises are neat - think/listens, vision support groups and all of that".
19. M. (USA): "I LOVED Module 1 - learned a lot and had plenty of insights along the way. Thank you Stella and Cesar for the Design Portfolio! It is starting to dawn on me the beautiful work you guys do... You are like the teachers I never had, but always wished for. The depth you go to is the depth I longed for in my teenage years... I suspect that what Stella and Cesar have done to the PeopleCare portion of Permaculture is on par with what Bill Mollison & David Holmgren did to Earthcare
20. D. (Canary Islands) made & up-loaded her ** first ever video ** to say what is so special for her of the course & especially about the Action Learning modality. You can see it on the PDC+++ page on www.EcoEscuela.net this presentation is in www.EcoEscuela.net (PDC+++ page)
