Summary: <a href="https://www.permiekids.com"></a> Permaculture has the opportunity to become more than what it is. However, if the framework of permaculture is going to become an opportunity to really impact the future, we must re-think, re-design and re-frame it to address the causes of the challenges we face. This means it is more than a mechanism to address the environmental issue driving the media of today. It also means it needs to be more than a way for people to connect with people. All is Related.<br> What does All in Relation mean and look like in the learning landscape? It means questions, educational relationships, subjects, skills, ways of learning, previous knowledge, personal interests and reflection are patterned into a sturdy, integrated framework much like snapping together Legos. When we honor “All in Relation” as not just a principle, but as an ethic we use the edges and value the marginal in the learning landscape we ignite an intrinsic desire to reciprocate, extend and add to the “edges” of learning and life.<br> <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Zoo-v3.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3102"></a>Integrating the ethic All in Relation draws us into the action of creating relationships and connections as the start of and connecting thread that will continue throughout the process of transformation. In emergent design there is, as Dr. David Blumenkrantz calls it, an “Initiatory Constellation” which includes the individual, family, community, ancestors, spirit, nature and Universe. Talk about “edges” – wow!<br> We are in relationship, a reciprocal relationship, with all things. Valuing and ethically using natural resources is not enough. We must use whole systems thinking to honor and design based on natural relationships.<br> By understanding how things are interconnected we can more fully live in relationship with the wonders of the world around us. Natural relationships are the threads that connect us to our past, help us live more mindfully in the present and will help shape the world for our children and our children’s children for generations to come.<br> In this show we cover:<br> <br> <br> * All in Relation<br> * Using the Edges and Valuing the Marginal<br> * Being in Relation with the Edge<br> * Elongating Edges<br> <br> <br> If you enjoy this podcast and think to yourself, “Yeah, I’d be interested in buying Jen a cup of coffee while hanging out talking about issues like this,” <a href="https://www.permiekids.com/membership/" target="_blank">join our community</a>.
