It is my delight to share this conversation with Joel Glanzberg today on Sense-making in a Changing World.
Joel, based in New Mexico is a tracker, a regenerative design practitioner and permaculture teacher/builder/farmer/designer/thinker. He has been immersed in permaculture for over 30 years and loves what permaculture offers- particularly the way of seeing and being in the world from a pattern perspective, of bringing vitality and regeneration, and to cultivate a capacity to see the beauty of the world we are a part of - the beauty of life.
Joel first took a permaculture design course in 1986 and studied with Bill Mollison too. Through many decades of deep connection with permaculture in many contexts - with First Nations communities, with education and design - Joel shares how his understanding and perception of permaculture has changed over the years and where he sees permaculture people offering their highest potential in the context of the world today.
Joel is a founding partner of the Regenesis Group - a collective of regenerative design practitioners rethinking development - exploring regenerative development - transforming the way humans inhabit the earth. You can watch an introduction to their work here.
Regenesis founded the Regenesis Institute and offer in-depth training around the world in regenerative thinking and practice through their The Regenerative Practitoner Series
Joel was one of the founders and designers of Flowering Tree Permaculture in the high altitude desert of New Mexico and demonstrates here how it is possible to green the desert, transform arid landscapes into food forests. You can watch a short film here about it - a 30 year old example of how to reverse desertification, create conducive human habitats.
You can find Joel at Pattern Mind and as he invites during this podcast, he is open to being contacted and to offer mentoring over zoom wherever you are in the world.
