In Episode 20 of Sense-Making in a Changing World Podcast, I am delighted to chat with internationally recognised thought leader, Looby Macnamara.Looby is a permaculture teacher, social permaculture facilitator & cofounder of Applewood Permaculture Centre in Herefordshire, England, with her partner Chris Evans (co-founder of the Himalayan Permaculture Centre).Looby has authored 3 permaculture books:Cultural Emergence: A toolkit for transforming ourselves and the world (2020)People and Permaculture: Designing personal, collective and planetary wellbeing (2012)7 Ways to Think Differently: Embrace Potential, respond to life, discover abundance (2014) In this conversation, Looby & I talk about her work with cultural emergence & ways to create real livelihoods with permaculture. The late, Polly Higgins, who wrote the forward to People and Permaculture, said 'permaculture is the biggest job creation scheme in the world'! Cultural Emergence is framework & toolkit that Looby is offering to enable us to design the world we want to live in - informed by indigenous wisdom, permaculture design and systems thinking.  Looby launched her book just this month at the National Permaculture Convergence, UK & it will be available in November 2020. I was excited to sit down in Looby's garden with her in pre-covid times. Unfortunately my voice left me that day so please excuse the huskiness and listen instead to Looby who's voice is clear, like her clear leadership in the social dimensions in the world of permaculture education.________________________________Download this list of 10 of Morag's favourite books Morag's 4 part introduction to permaculture video series.________________________________I'd love to hear from you.
