When sitting down with a storyteller like Rosemary Morrow for a series of open conversations about her life and work that spans decades, and results in more than 10 hours of recordings, it's never clear what will emerge. Today's episode is a great example of that, as in a few moments while we discussed other things, Rowe mentioned working with the folks at Perma Queer and shared her thoughts on how to use one’s position, role, and respect within a community to make space for marginalized voices, and the importance of inclusion in permaculture as part of the teachings.

What Holds You Back? Is it: An issue of education, such as taking a permaculture design course, a bachelor’s degree, or returning to school as a non-traditional student? An issue of information, such as the right book or resources that helps make sense of an issue you’re stuck on? A matter of access to land, whether a garden plot, backyard, homestead, or farm, and trying to find land where you live?  A financial problem, such as having the income to support your work or project while it grows, to rent, lease, or buy land, or acquiring the tools you need to work it? A technical issue, such as setting up the right business structure for your work, or an on-the-ground problem an expert could help you solve? A community problem, where you don’t have the folks around you or the right social groups to help you overcome your obstacles? Let me know by sending me a direct message using the contact form.
