With:
Muzammal Hussain (LINE)
Following completion of an intensive two-week Earth Activist Training (EAT) course within Land Matters eco-community in Devon, Muzammal will share his experiences learning about social organising, *permaculture and earth-based spirituality. As well as a personal account of his experience, he will also initiate dialogue around some of the following questions: What can Muslims learn from 'non-hierarchical' forms of social organising? How can patterns and principles in nature support an intention for sustainable living? What are the qualities of a sustainable community?
Also within the forum, we will hear feedback from recent and upcoming ecological activities, and there will be a slot for Resource Cycle .
No charge and open to all. Donations welcome.
* Permaculture: is about "creating sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns". It has also been described as "revolution disguised as organic gardening".. !
