    WELCOME!

    In the closing years of the 20th century, a singular event occurred that has the potential to enrich lives by providing access to information on demand. The internet as a form of communication is in its infancy, with many bugs to work out(such as making it easy to use for the computer moron, and the matter of speed and capacity.) It's potential to enrich lives and to actually bring people together by creating communities is evidenced by e-mail, newsgroups and chat. It is possible for people to develop talents and express themselves-differently, but effectively through web publishing. This web page is an attempt to facilitate the expression of some of my own creativity. It is also to provide a forum for discussion of some important issues(in my mind!) as we go into the 21st century.

    Because I don't want to spend my time learning fancy programming, you won't find here another cute web page with fancy graphics and embedded java applets. Doing so will lose the message. Technology needs to remain humanistic and accessible, otherwise we are lost. This web page hopefully will reflect an optimistic but responsible portrayal of the future of homo sapiens, a successful if not weedy species on this speck of flotsam on the edge of an ordinary galaxy among billions. I hope to update it, improve it, expand it and above all, learn from it as I explore this new communication tool.


    To describe myself in a thumbnail: I'm employed as an Registered Nurse at a local hospital and live, work and play on a 36 acre farm with my spouse and two kids. We have a low key farming operation, growing our own vegetables, raising cattle, and use our own wood products for heat and building materials. We are organic, using cow manure and purchased minerals, while relying on nature to provide by using nitrogen fixing crops, and green manures. Working in the outdoors is very important to me as are walking in the woods frequently and observing spring woodland wildflowers(I seem to do less of this- regrettably- as time goes by) As you can surmise, the health of the environment is of major concern(the word health ties this into my livelihood-nursing-more later). To balance the budget as a responsibility to the next generation is a trivial act, if in the meantime we leave a toxic environment with its resources denuded, and with its inherent beauty desecrated.

    We belong to an organization, Michigan Land Trustees, from whom we bought this farm, and share many of their values. It seems that a family value that we don't hear much about, is land stewardship. Something else that people are unaware of, is that organic farming-for many crops anyway- is perfectly capable of equivalent yields to chemical farming. With either, management is key. Our backyard.

    Anyway, here are some links:

    • Living on Earth A site from the National Public Radio home page that has a wealth of information concerning environmental issues.
    • Permaculture Resources Permaculture is the conscious design and implementation of landuse which seeks to enhance the inherent productivity of natural ecosystems by selecting appropriate species and varieties and putting them together as they are adapted thereby making them productive for human use that maximizes the efficiency of inputs, be it light, water or nutrients. In this geographical area, such an arrangement may be an open three story forest, with nut and fruit trees for human and livestock use, and edible herbaceous species. It also seeks to put people in the center where intensive gardens and land use would be adjacent to homes and extensive "food forests" would be more remote. Permaculture principles can (and should) be applied by nearly everyone as an advanced form of resource use (remember: reduce, reuse, and recycle).
    • Michigan Land Conservancies and Nature Centers A listing of what's happening in Michigan with regards to conserving land and its appreciation.
    • Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy
    • Michigan Organic Growers A serious and venerable institution.
    • Michigan Land Trustees

    My employment at a local hospital provides me with an income, a lot of challenge, and a way of helping people who truly need it. Since much of today's health problems are related to lifestyle choices, many of them ill-informed choices, as health care workers, education is a major component of our work. Of course, this education should have occurred many years earlier than when they are hospitalized. The challenges we face in reducing health care costs, would be much allieved if the necessary education and good life style choices were done early in our lives. In fact, I would venture to say, there would be no healthcare crisis if this were the case.

    A few links related to nursing and medicine:


    With the Voyager missions to the outer planets, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Galileo mission in progress, you would have to have your head in the sand, not to be aware of some of the exciting discoveries in space science and astronomy. A new perspective on our place in the universe that is somewhat humbling can be appreciated by observing the runaway greenhouse effect on Venus (making that planet the nearest thing to hell that I can think of). The possible(probable?) discovery of fossil life from Mars and its implications that we cannot be unique (already 2 examples in this solar system-although a strong argument exists that life may have originated on Mars then migrated to earth via meteoric impact before it went extinct there, since conditions were probably better on Mars during the early epochs of our solar system than on earth for life to evolve). To me this enlightening perspective of our insignificance in the scheme of things makes it all the more important to conserve and protect our planet and its biosphere. The internet is a huge repository of space images including the latest Hubble pictures, where you can see for yourself, these exciting discoveries.

    Some great images:

    Some astronomy links:


    A couple of sites for news and information:

    • NPR National Public radio. This is a fairly large site full of text and real audio files for your perusal. I've been listening to NPR since its inception 20 years ago and there is nothing comparable in the broadcast medium in quality, balance and depth. With real audio streaming technology, you can listen to many past NPR programs while surfing the web(need a 28.8 modem). Their new daily talk shows can hook you!
    • CNN Interactive And then, you have the news in bites for those with short attention spans or if you are just tired.


    Well this is my corner of cyberspace! Whether you want to hurl insults or just say hi, email me tomar@cybersol.com.

    What is MLT?

    The MICHIGAN LAND TRUSTEES a non profit 401(c)3 corporation dedicated to preserving the health and vitality of the people-land interface. MLT works out of Southwest Michigan.

    What do you mean by that?

    Everywhere we see the results of wasteful land practices in the name of expedience and short term profits. MLT seeks to examine and improve connections between people and the land and thus enhance personal responsibility for environmental health.

    Examples?

    A land and capital intensive food production system that relies on short term chemical fixes that can result in the loss of small farms, meaningful employment, soil erosion, pollution of ground water and the general wasteful use of fossil fuel resources.

    Another example is forestry which as commonly practiced now, promotes short term expedient profits as a justification of even aged management and clear cutting when mixed aged management and selective cutting have been shown to be the most productive of quality wood and the other forest products that a healthy forest produces.

    So what is the MLT doing about these issues?

    MLT has a 20 year history of promoting stewardship of soil and land resources. In 1978 we acquired through donation, a 36 acre run down farm and started a living-learning homesteading program affiliated with Western Michigan University. Many men and women learned small scale organic farming and self-sufficiency skills, by actually doing it. This program existed in various forms through 1984. Then interest and energy evolved to delving into permaculture.

    Permaculture is the concious design of land and its biota in ways that mimic natural ecosystems and provide the stability, efficiency of resource use, and productivity found in healthy ecosystems. Appropriate productive species and varieties are used along with symbiotic structures that maximize both the "edge effect", and three story woody polycultures, and by assimilating animals-both domestic and wild-to exploit their additive and synergistic productivity. People function as components of this polyculture.

    What other activities has MLT been involved in?

    Many. Although MLT sold the land trust farm in 1994(It is still farmed organically with permaculture principles in mind.), the interests and activities of MLT has been diversified as is the membership and the board of directors. A newsletter is produced 2-4 times a year. The group has been involved, over the years and at present, with community gardens, a LETS program, and Moffa (Michigan Organic Food and Farm Alliance), among many others. The quarterly meetings of the board are always interesting and stimulating.

    What does membership entail?

    Five or more dollars a year depending on what you can afford. In return you receive a newsletter. Larger donations, of course, may be made to take advantage of our tax free status. Being a land trust we have a special interest in land donations which we can use to further our prime directive. Other avenues of involvement include the contribution of articles to the newsletter and contributing at the board meeting or the annual membership meetings.

    Permaculture:
    Design For Living

    an Interview with Bill Mollison, by Alan AtKisson


    Bill Mollison is a living legend. He's known as the genius of permaculture, "the David Brower of Australia," or a crusty old curmudgeon, depending on the source. But whether it's glowing admiration or sneering dismissal, reaction to Mollison is invariably strong. He is clearly one of the most interesting specimens of the human species - which he has spent years studying from a naturalist's behavioral perspective.

    He passed through Seattle recently with a film crew shooting a documentary about the far-flung successes of permaculture, a radically new (or, some have said, radically old) way of gardening, designing, and living sustainably by cooperating with nature. Ironically, we met in a downtown hotel room - filled with traffic noise - as we stalked a definition of permaculture and considered the eeriness of modern life. For a more detailed exploration, see Mollison's book Permaculture: A Designer's Manual, available for $34.95 (plus $3 shipping) from Permaculture Drylands, PO Box 27371, Tucson, AZ 85726, 602/824-3465.

    Alan: Permaculture is a slippery idea to me. But from what I read, it seems that not even those who actually do permaculture really know what it is.

    Bill: I'm certain I don't know what permaculture is. That's what I like about it - it's not dogmatic. But you've got to say it's about the only organized system of design that ever was. And that makes it extremely eerie.

    Alan: Why "eerie"?

    Bill: There's no other book about design for living. Don't you think that's eerie? I mean, how can we possibly expect to survive if we don't design what we're doing to be bearable?

    Another thing I find extremely eerie is that when people build a house, they almost exactly get it wrong. They don't just get it partly wrong, they get it dead wrong. For example, if you let people loose in a landscape and tell them to choose a house site, half of them will go sit on the ridges where they'll die in the next fire, or where you can't get water to them. Or they'll sit in all the dam sites. Or they'll sit in all the places that will perish in the next big wind.

    But then, at least half of every city is wrong. From latitude 30 degrees to latitude 60, say, you've got to have the long axis of the house facing the sun. If the land is cut up into squares, that makes half of all houses wrong if they face the road. Even houses way in the country, and way off the road, face the bloody road. And from there, you just go wronger all the way.

    One of the great rules of design is do something basic right. Then everything gets much more right of itself. But if you do something basic wrong - if you make what I call a Type 1 Error - you can get nothing else right.

    Alan: When you say "we," do you mean humans in general, or Western humans especially?

    Bill: Human beings in general. There are a few societies that show signs of having been very rational about the physics of construction and the physics of real life. Some of the old middle-Eastern societies had downdraft systems over whole cities, and passive, rapid-evaporation ice-making systems. They were rational people using good physical principles to make themselves comfortable without additional sources of energy.

    But most modern homes are simply uninhabitable without electricity - you couldn't flush the toilet without it. It's a huge dependency situation. A house should look after itself - as the weather heats up the house cools down, as the weather cools down the house heats up. It's simple stuff, you know? We've known how to do it for a long time.

    Alan: And it's eerie that we don't do it.

    Bill: And that we don't design the garden to assist the house is much more eerie. That we don't design agriculture to be sustainable is totally eerie. We design it to be a disaster, and of course, we get a disaster.

    Alan: There's an old Chinese expression: "If we don't change our direction, we'll wind up where we are headed."

    Bill: Exactly so. I think we probably have a racial death wish. We don't understand anything about where we live, and we don't want to. We're happy to power on to the end - like Mr. Bush. He could have saved more oil than he needed from Iraq, but he preferred to go and "kick ass" - kill people - and use more oil in the process.

    America is an eerie society. It seems to want to live on a dust bowl. But as one of your own Indians said, "If you shit in bed, you'll surely smother in it."

    Alan: Let's get back to permaculture. What's your current best definition of it?

    Bill: You could say it's a rational man's approach to not shitting in his bed.

    But if you're an optimist, you could say it's an attempt to actually create a Garden of Eden. Or, if you're a scientist, you could liken it to a miraculous wardrobe in which you can hang garments of any science or any art and find they're always harmonious with, and in relation to, that which is already hanging there. It's a framework that never ceases to move, but that will accept information from anywhere.

    It's hard to get your mind around it - I can't. I guess I would know more about permaculture than most people, and I can't define it. It's multi-dimensional - chaos theory was inevitably involved in it from the beginning.

    You see, if you're dealing with an assembly of biological systems, you can bring the things together, but you can't connect them. We don't have any power of creation - we have only the power of assembly. So you just stand there and watch things connect to each other, in some amazement actually. You start by doing something right, and you watch it get more right than you thought possible.

    Alan: This reminds me of John Todd and his work with artificial ecosystem assembly [IC #25].

    Bill: There are lots of words for it these days. But the day I brought out my first book, Permaculture One, there was no word for it, though that's what it means: artificial ecosystem assembly. I would agree with anyone who said that if Permaculture had to be written, I wasn't the person to write it. I'm sure the John Todds and Hunter Lovinses of this world would have done a far better job than I. But it had to be written by somebody sooner or later, and historically it was just bad luck that it was me.

    Alan: How did you come up with the idea of permaculture? What led up to it?

    Bill: I'd come into town from the bush - after 28 years of field work in natural systems - and become an academic. So I turned my attention to humans, much as I had to possums in the forests. Humans were my study animal now - I set up night watches on them, and I made phonograms of the noises they make. I studied their cries, and their contact calls, and their alarm signals. I never listened to what they were saying - I watched what they were doing, which is really the exact opposite of the Freuds and Jungs and Adlers.

    I soon got to know my animal fairly well - and I found out that it didn't matter what they were saying. What they were doing was very interesting, but it had no relation whatsoever to either what they were saying, or what questions they could answer about what they were doing. No relationship. Anyone who ever studied mankind by listening to them was self-deluded. The first thing they should have done was to answer the question, "Can they report to you correctly on their behavior?" And the answer is, "No, the poor bastards cannot."

    Then I sort of pulled out for a while in 1972 - I cut a hole in the bush, built a barn and a house and planted a garden - gave up on humanity. I was disgusted with the stupidity of the University, the research institutions, the whole thing.

    When the idea of permaculture came to me, it was like a shift in the brain, and suddenly I couldn't write it down fast enough. Once you've said to yourself, "But I'm not using my physics in my house," or "I'm not using my ecology in my garden, I've never applied it to what I do," it's like something physical moves inside your brain. Suddenly you say, "If I did apply what I know to how I live, that would be miraculous!" Then the whole thing unrolls like one great carpet. Undo one knot, and the whole thing just rolls downhill.

    Alan: At this point, permaculture is not just a way of designing things - it's a movement. What have you started?

    Bill: Well, anything that's any good is self-perpetuating. I've started something I can no longer understand - it's out of control from the word go. People do things which I find quite amazing - things I would never have done and can't understand very well.

    For example, one of the people I had trained in 1983, Janet McKinsey, disappeared with a friend into the bush - two women with children. They decided they could cut down their needs a lot, and they made a very scientific study of how to do that in their own houses. They've now started something called "Home Options for Preservation of the Environment" - HOPE.

    They point out, for example, that there are only four things in all cleaners - whether it's shampoo, laundry detergent, whatever.You buy them in bulk and you mix them up properly, and they all work. It doesn't matter if they call the stuff ecologically friendly or have dolphins diving around on the label - it still has these damn four things in it. Anything else is just unnecessary additions to make it smell good or color it blue when it goes down the toilet.

    Alan: So would you call what they're doing permaculture as well?

    Bill: Oh, I don't know what you call it. But they got there after a permaculture course. When they first came to town - Benala, in Australia - and lectured, all the women of the town said, "Oh this is marvelous, we'll all do it!" The women started to order these bulk canisters - so then the shops in the town had to change, because they couldn't sell them that other crap anymore. Then the Council had to change, to institute recycling.

    So the women - and women spend the money of society on its goods - examined every item they bought in relation to its energy use and its necessity, and just eliminated those that were energy expensive and unnecessary. Simply by women learning exactly what to buy and how to buy, the whole thing can be brought back to sanity. That's spreading like mad - like every good idea does.

    So my students are constantly amazing me. Here's another story: I gave one permaculture course in Botswana, and now my students are out in the bloody desert in Namibia teaching Bushmen - whose language nobody can speak - to be very good permaculture people.

    Alan: What can they teach the Bushmen that the Bushmen wouldn't already know?

    Bill: Gardening. Because the Bushmen can no longer go with the game, and the game have been killed by the fences put up by the European Commission to grow beef. Just like the Australian Aborigine, 63% of what they used to live off is extinct, and the rest is rare now. You can't live like a Bushman or an Aborigine anymore, so they've got to rethink the whole basis of how they're going to live. Permaculture helps you do that easily.

    Alan: So permaculture seems to be as much a change in perception as anything else - a change in where one begins to look at things from.

    Bill: I think that's right. For me, having suffered through a Western education, it was a shift from passive learning - you know, "this is how books say things are" - to something active. It's saying (and this is a horrifying thought for university people) that instead of physicists teaching physics, physicists should go home and see what physics applies to their home.

    Now, they may teach sophisticated physics at the university. But they go home to a domestic environment which can only be described as demented in its use of energy. They can't see that, and that blindness is appalling.

    Why is it that we don't build human settlements that will feed themselves, and fuel themselves, and catch their own water, when any human settlement could do that easily? When it's a trivial thing to do?

    Alan: Perhaps because we're so wealthy that we believe we don't have to.

    Bill: Well, I don't call that wealth. You want a definition of wealth from Eskimos, the Inuit? Wealth is a deep understanding of the natural world. I think Americans are so poor it's pitiful, because you don't understand the natural world at all.

    Alan: If you want to do permaculture, and there isn't a teacher around, where do you start?

    Bill: Just start right where you are.

    Alan: I read somewhere that you've said, "You start with your nose, then your hands ..."

    Bill: "... your back door, your doorstep" - you get all that right, then everything is right. If all that's wrong, nothing can ever be right. Say you're working for a big overseas aid organization. You can't leave home in a Mercedes Benz, travel 80 kilometers to work in a great concrete structure where there are diesel engines thundering in the basement just to keep it cool enough for you to work in, and plan mud huts for Africa! You can't get the mud huts right if you haven't got things right where you are. You've got to get things right, working for you, and then go and say what that is.

    Alan: Doing permaculture seems to be the opposite of abstraction.

    Bill: Oh, I put it another way. I can easily teach people to be gardeners, and from them, once they know how to garden, you'll get a philosopher. But I could never teach people to be philosophers - and if I did, you could never make a gardener out of them.

    When you get deep ecologists who are philosophers, and they drive cars and take newspapers and don't grow their own vegetables, in fact they're not deep ecologists - they're my enemies.

    But if you get someone who looks after himself and those around him - like Scott Nearing, or Masanobu Fukuoka - that's a deep ecologist. He can talk philosophy that I understand. People like that don't poison things, they don't ruin things, they don't lose soils, they don't build things they can't sustain.

    Alan: Everything you've done suggests that turning around and going another direction is really not that hard.

    Bill: I think mine is a very rich life. I probably lead a very spoiled life, because I travel from people interested in permaculture to people interested in permaculture. Some of them are tribal, and some of them are urban, and so on. I believe humanity is a pretty interesting lot, and they're all really busy doing and thinking interesting things.

    Alan: Permaculture involves tampering with nature, but how far do you think we should go? Should we be doing genetic engineering, creating hybrids, etc.?

    Bill: The important thing is not to do any agriculture whatsoever, and particularly to make the modern agricultural sciences a forbidden area - they're worse than witchcraft, really. The agriculture taught at colleges between 1930 and 1980 has caused more damage on the face of the Earth than any other factor. "Should we tamper with nature?" is no longer a question - we've tampered with nature on the whole face of the Earth.

    If you let the world roll on the way it's rolling, you're voting for death. I'm not voting for death. The extinction rate is so huge now, we're to the stage where we've got to set up recombinant ecologies. There are no longer enough species left, anywhere, to hold the system together. We have to let nature put what's left together, and see what it can come up with to save our ass.

    At the same time, anything that's left that's remotely like wilderness should be left strictly alone. We have no business there any more. It's not going to save you to go in and cut the last old-stand forests. You should never have gotten to the stage where you could see the last ancient forests! Just get out of there right now, because the lessons you need to learn are there. That's the last place you'll find those lessons readable.

    Alan: How has permaculture been received? What do reviewers say about your books, for example?

    Bill: The first time I saw a review of one of my permaculture books was three years after I first started writing on it. The review started with, "Permaculture Two is a seditious book." And I said, "At last someone understands what permaculture's about." We have to rethink how we're going to live on this earth - stop talking about the fact that we've got to have agriculture, we've got to have exports, because all that is the death of us. Permaculture challenges what we're doing and thinking - and to that extent it's sedition.

    People question me coming through the American frontier these days. They ask, "What's your occupation?" I say, "I'm just a simple gardener." And that is deeply seditious. If you're a simple person today, and want to live simply, that is awfully seditious. And to advise people to live simply is more seditious still.

    You see, the worst thing about permaculture is that it's extremely successful, but it has no center, and no hierarchy.

    Alan: So that's worst from whose perspective?

    Bill: Anybody that wants to extinguish it. It's something with a million heads. It's a way of thinking which is already loose, and you can't put a way of thinking back in the box.

    Alan: Is it an anarchist movement?

    Bill: No, anarchy would suggest you're not cooperating. Permaculture is urging complete cooperation between each other and every other thing, animate and inanimate. You can't cooperate by knocking something about or bossing it or forcing it to do things. You won't get cooperation out of a hierarchical system. You get enforced directions from the top, and nothing I know of can run like that. I think the world would function extremely well with millions of little cooperative groups, all in relation to each other.

    Alan: Given all the study you've done of our behavior and your work in spreading permaculture, do you have reason to hope we'll make it as a species?

    Bill: I think it's pointless asking questions like "Will humanity survive?" It's purely up to people - if they want to, they can, if they don't want to, they won't.

    I would say, use all the skills you have in relation to others - and that way we can do anything. But if you lend your skills to other systems that you don't really believe in, then you might as well never have lived. You haven't expressed yourself.

    If people want some guidance, I say, just look at what people really do. Don't listen to them that much. And choose your friends from people who you like what they do - even though you mightn't like what they say.

    It's us chickens that are doing it. There's no need for anyone else - we are sufficient to do everything possible to heal this Earth. We don't have to suppose we need oil, or governments, or anything. We can do it.


    A Nursery For Inventions

    The Swedish Institute for Social Inventions (abbreviated to SISU in Swedish) is a private foundation for the promotion of good social inventions. One of our important emerging areas of activity is a "nursery" where a few social inventions are given shelter until they can be "planted out" as independent organizations.

    The first plant was, appropriately, permaculture. Member Peter Norrthon had heard and read a lot about permaculture, and he wanted help to introduce it in Sweden. A SISU group has worked to this end for about two years now. It has organized a number of courses and meetings and has published information about permaculture and ecological living.

    The roots of permaculture are now well established in Sweden, and soon it should be time for planting out. SISU has also contributed to introducing permaculture in Poland, and currently has a permaculture project beginning in Israel.

    SISU is linked to another not-for-profit association, called SUS, with members in all parts of Sweden plus a few in other countries. SISU publishes a magazine for SUS, bladSUSet, which appears about five times a year. Each issue also appears in summary in English.

    For more information about our "nursery," our "Inventors' Day" celebrations, or our publications, write to us at Peter Myndes Backe 12:5, S-118 46 Stockholm, Sweden, or contact us at tel. (46) 8772 4587; fax (46) 8642 2641; or by electronic mail through Peacenet (pns:mmehlmann). A membership/subscription for twelve months is 150 Sw kronor.

    Permaculture: A Language for Gardeners
    by Peter Bane

    The Hawaiian people have a phrase in their language which expresses deep understanding of their place on the earth, "ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono." It translates into English as, "the life of the land is preserved in righteousness." This feeling of deep gardening is the sensibility we must invoke to describe Permaculture or "permanent culture."

    Permaculture is a nation without borders and with no government. It can be found on every inhabited continent among peoples as diverse as Tswana herders in Southern Africa, apartment dwellers in London and Sydney, desert ranchers in Arizona, jungle settlers in Colombia, communitarians in northern Germany, and subsistence villagers in Nepal. More than a form of organic gardening, permaculture is a whole system of design for the creation of sustainable human habitats. It is about culture; the use of tools in our adaptation to the world around us, and what that means in the post-industrial era.

    Traditional peoples around the earth have known the limits and the languages of their places. But along with biological diversity, these unique human adaptations are being rapidly lost at the frontier of economic globalization. Human beings everywhere on earth are becoming increasingly dependent upon and subject to centralized systems of production and control. The consequences of this colonizing process are pollution, desertification, poverty, famine, tyranny, and genocide. To move beyond the destructiveness of our present culture, which is based on continuing war and industrial capitalism, we must recover and propagate knowledge and ecological linkages that sustain living systems: air, water, and soil. We must reclaim the lands we inhabit as we learn again to feed, clothe, house, heal, and educate ourselves and our children.

    Permaculture is an ethical approach to land use and economics based on:
    - Care for the Earth, its air, water, forests, soils, plants, and animals;
    - Care for people, who need not only the things of the earth, but each other; and
    - Care for Community, through limiting our own consumption and population, and the distribution of that which is surplus to our own needs.

    In the words of Australian ecologist Bill Mollison, co-author (with David Holmgren) of the permaculture concept, "Permaculture is the design of sustainable human habitats. It is the design of cultivated ecosystems where we work with, not against nature. It uses the naturally inherent qualities of plants and animals, including humans, combined with the natural characteristics of landscape to create sustainable, low-maintenance, and productive agricultures for both city and country using the smallest practical area." Permaculture empowers us to recreate living systems out of the devastation of modern life.

    How do we do it?

    By observing patterns in nature and in traditional farming and building systems we derive the principles which guide permaculture design. To these principles we add the insights of modern science, concoct a set of stories which convey these essential understandings and begin repeating them to our friends. You do the same. The effect is inspiring and contagious.

    Because everything is connected to everything else and everything must go somewhere, you cannot just do one thing and there is no free lunch. Remember that everything gardens and "Nature knows best." With that introduction to ecology, you are now ready to learn permaculture.

    A rough dozen principles can help us to design sustainable systems:

    1. Relative beneficial location. Put elements of the system near other things with which they can have beneficial relationships. Link rain barrels to roofs, and kitchens to gardens by bringing them close together. If carrots love tomatoes, plant them together; let the beans climb on (and fertilize) the corn.

    2. Multi-functional elements. Make sure that everything in the system has at least three functions. In this way space and cost is saved while yields are increased.

    3. Redundancy. Make sure every important function (like water, warmth, food, and income) is supported by multiple elements.

    4. Energy-efficient planning. Place elements in zones of decreasing access and intensity of use radiating outward from the center of activity (the home). Analyze outside influences (sun, wind, weather, pollution, wildlife, views) on a site by sectors, and let that guide your placement of elements also. Take account of gravity by allowing elements to flow through the landscape from high elevation to low.

    5. Biological resources. Choose elements which are self-propagating, self-healing, and which can be disposed of without toxic residues. Living systems build real wealth. Prefer wood to steel, bamboo to aluminum, worms to rototillers, legumes to chemical fertilizer, trees to air-conditioners, and chickens to bug spray.

    6. Energy cycling and recycling. Energy flows and materials cycle in ecosystems. Keep nutrients, water, heat, genetic material, money, and other valuable resources in close circulation. Harvest your own garden seed and begin to adapt plants for the microclimate of your back yard. Water coming in as rain can be collected, rather than drained away. If filtered, drunk or washed with, it then flows out as greywater and urine from the household. Instead of dumping it into sewers or septic tanks where it can pollute, clean it on site with plants, harvest mulch material from the artifical wetland, use the cleaned water for fish habitat, and then irrigate crops with the pondwater.

    7. Revalue appropriate traditional technology. Plants were our first medicines; they are still our best health insurance. Grow herbs in your garden and learn to use them in tinctures, teas, poultices, and salves. The corn straw broom is still superior to any plastic whatyamacallit ever made. Masonry stoves are the best way to use wood for heating. Unglazed clay pots (called ollas in Spanish) sunk into the ground and filled with water are the most efficient way to irrigate gardens in drylands. Mud (earth) is a healthy, low-cost building material available almost everywhere.

    8. Stack yields in both time and space. All ecosystems evolve toward greater complexity over time. Lawnmowers waste energy and cause pollution trying to prevent this from happening. Go with the flow instead. Plant perennial crops with different maturities and different heights all at once. The forest yields at crown, mid-level, near the ground, and under the ground. The 7-layered, 4-dimensional polyculture garden can do the same. Annual vegetables succeed to berries to tree fruits and nuts as the garden matures.

    9. Maximize edge in cultivated systems. Use all the in-between spaces. Edge is where the action is; where nutrients accumulate and life grows fat. Our internal organs are small in size but have huge surface areas for exchange of gasses and fluids. Gardens can be designed on the same principles. They can remain compact but gain enormous capacity.

    10. Observe and replicate natural patterns. In permaculture, observation is vitally important. If forests are the dominant ecosystem in your area, it's because they are the most thermodynamically efficient response to that kind of climate. Streams meander, birds flock, cattle herds graze heavily in one area then move on, not to return for many months. Model nature, it's been around longer than humans.

    11. Increase diversity. Natural systems become richer by increasing the number of species and interactions between them in a given area, not by adding more of the same. Adding diverse elements into your system is a way to increase the sum of yields, while enhancing stability.

    12. Scale. Start at your back door and work outward on a controlled front. Get your own life and your back yard in good shape before you go anywhere else. A small, intensively cultivated system will have surplus form which to expand or create other systems. A large, spread-out system is an energy sink, always requiring more energy to maintain than it produces.

    Working on the edge. Permaculture has five principal strategies which give it an "edge" over both traditional and scientific agricultures. These are:

    1. The use of recombinant ecologies and worldwide species resources to achieve nutritionally and energetically superior niches for humans in small areas.
    2. Modelling the best of nature for highest energy yields, eg. aquaculture and agroforestry model the most productive ecosystems: marshlands and forests.
    3. Managing time by pushing succession: stacking space and time. We consciously acknowledge and participate in the evolution of living systems.
    4. Recognizing the information content of systems. Gardening is a highly interactive or cybernetic practice which places humans in the landscape and ensures continual re-adjustment. It consistently outyields any other form of agriculture.
    5. Use of the historical opportunity of cheap energy. Permaculture seeks to establish sustainable systems by using the temporarily available supply of fossil fuel and machine technology to micro-engineer landscapes for long-term natural productivity. This transformation of embedded energy in the form of industrially derived knowledge, tools, and infrastructure into ecological, humanly productive systems which can endure indefinitely into the future is the paramount challenge of our age.

    In addition, permaculture spreads itself. It is inspiring and empowering, and it promotes cooperation, furthering and fostering environments in which it can thrive.

    Origins and disseminations
    In the early 70s, after a decade in "the bush" working as a field biologist, Bill Mollison, then a lecturer at the University of Tasmania, in conversation with his student David Holmgren, gave shape to the permaculture ideas which were first published in 1978 as Permaculture I. From about 1979, Bill began teaching in Australia and soon after in America and Europe as well. From this beginning, Permaculture has spread to more than 60 countries. Over 10,000 individuals have been trained in its practices.

    Education is built into permaculture as part of its internally sustainable logic. Knowledge of permaculture design is transferred primarily by short courses (10-15 days). Initially Bill Mollison and a small cadre of teachers carried the system to different regions. Now their second-, third-, fourth-, and even fifth-generation students are teaching their peers in many languages and most parts of the world.

    Though most of the concepts in permaculture design are not new or unique to it, their assembly into a coherent system is. Permaculture is not traditional knowledge, though it borrows from traditional systems; it is not science, though it applies scientific learning; permaculture is not a belief system, though it is based on ethical action. Permaculture is the edge between all these different approaches. It is interdisciplinary and so you will still have a hard time finding it in the university, where departments strictly separate branches of knowledge. Permaculture exists at the edge between agriculture, architecture, and forestry. It is not a thing, but a way of seeing all things.

    How can I learn more?
    The ideas in permaculture are universal, but every application is local. And since humans learn best by example and by positive reinforcement, the best way to learn to apply permaculture is to seek out those in your area who are already doing it and work with them to spread the knowledge.

    Design courses are offered by qualified instructors in most regions of the U.S., Canada, and overseas. Most events are scheduled for the warmer seasons of the year, but may be offered in southern venues during winter. Costs vary depending upon facilities and accommodations, but range from $50-$80/day in the U.S.

    The Online Homesteading and Small Farming Resource!


    Homestead.org was viewed by over 7,500 folks last month!


    Last Updated: June 25, 1997 (Still updating!= )

    "...So goodbye yellow brick road,
    Where the dogs of society howl...
    You can't plant me in your penthouse;
    I'm going back to my plough.

    Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
    Hunting the horny back toad;
    Oh I've finally decided my future lies
    Beyond the yellow brick road..."

    -- Elton John, chorus from "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"


    The Homestead.org News Bulletin!

    **** Help us identify this plant! ****<= /H2>

    FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE VISITING THIS SITE FOR THE FIRST TIME...

    Have you ever dreamed of moving to the country, building a lo= g cabin back in the woods, growing an organic garden, perhaps raising liv= estock, simplifying your life, and spending more quality time with your f= amily? If any of the above applies to you, then you are a homesteader at = heart, and you can't afford to be without the information you need to hel= p make your dream come true! The Homestead.org On-line Homesteading and S= mall Farming Resource endeavors to provide you with that information. Hom= estead.org, which is usually updated several times each month, contains a= n entire resource directory of information on homesteading, self-sufficie= ncy, small farming, agriculture, horticulture, permaculture, organic gard= ening, animal husbandry (of pets and livestock) wildlife managenent, ecol= ogy and conservation (stewardship), alternative building and construction= , practical crafts, skills and hobbies, renewable energy, home finance an= d business, food preparation, cooking and preserving, traditional home an= d family living, land and real estate acquisition, natural health and fit= ness, alternative = transportation methods, wild resources and survival, and many other topic= s related to living a more natural, sustainable, and wholesome life...In = other words, a lot of stuff! (A tiny bit of which is still unsorted.) =

    Various resource pointers are used for the site,= including links to other sites on the Internet, mailing addresses and te= lephone numbers. Homestead.org also contains information in the form of a= developing on-line "magazine", with articles, pictures, hints and tips, = whereas maps and chat areas will be included eventually. It will be like = a magazine and yellow pages directory rolled into one, and it will hopefu= lly be a general meeting place for rural folk on the Internet, where they= can help each other with problems, tell each other about their experienc= es, or just talk. Located in Ft. Worth, Texas (near Dallas), the Homestea= d.org site officially went on-line in the summer of 1995 and has the larg= est and most comprehensive resource directory pertainng to homesteading t= hat we've found on the Internet. (We challenge our readers to disprove th= is; if there's a bigger directory, we want to know about it!). We do ackn= owledge that there are too few articles and pictures, but it's up to you = dear readers, to send them in! To view the most recently updated informat= ion, check out the "What's New" page. To lea= rn more about homesteading in general, please read the "Homesteading FAQ". =

    PLEASE READ!: (1.) The Homestead Act of 1862 is = NO longer valid, having been repealed in the 1970's; I believe homesteadi= ng in that manner is no longer possible in the US or Alaska. (Says Steve = Waltz, an AK resident: "...There are some state land programs in AK, but = they are not 'give-aways'. Most of the land that is worth anything is eit= her too remote or there is a lot of competition in acquiring it." Likewis= e states Gene GeRue, author of Rurali= ze Your Dreams: "You are correct that the Homestead Act of 1862 has b= een abolished. No state, including Alaska, currently has a homestead act.= ") The term "homesteading" on this site has a different, more modern defi= nition (please read the FAQ for this definition= )...

    And (2.) the Homestead.org site concerns homeste= ading in the agricultural/animal husbandry sense of the word, and = NOT about getting a "Homestead (tax) Exemption" on your home, which has n= othing to do with real homesteading. Getting a "Homestead Exemption" on y= our home means that your house cannot be seized by creditors for back tax= es owed. And this applies to the structure itself ONLY. (I don't believe = it applies to land as well, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong he= re.) Thus creditors can take everything else you own...furniture, valuabl= es, even the clothes off your back...but NOT your house. For information = on getting a "homestead" exemption on your home, contact your State's tax= ing authority...(I don't personally have any other information than this = to give you, but Gene GeRue elaborates a bit further: "Many states have H= omestead Exemption laws to protect homeowners from losing their property = to unsecured creditors. Essentially, the laws do not allow creditor judge= ments to force a home sale to satisfy the judgements. The important note = here is that such laws do NOT apply to notes and mortgages secured by the= property. Default on loans secured by a deed of trust can and usually wi= ll cause the property to be sold by the trustee to satisfy the demand of = the creditor in case of default. Another confusion occurs because some st= ates have allowed a Homestead Exemption, which decreases property taxes s= lightly.") Since more people ask about these two topics more than any oth= er, we've decided to make this clear to everyone by mentioning them here = rather than include any more e-mails we've received about them on our "Letters to the Editors" Page.

    AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO VISIT US OFTEN...

    Hello again, folks! So sorry that the page was down for a = couple of days; hope we didn't inconvenience any of you! We're glad for t= he feedback we constantly receive from you all...We're also glad to hear = that we've been of some help--or at least an inspiration--to so many of y= ou! We are not able to homestead on any acreage at the present time, alth= ough we wish to do so asap--please read about our = "vision"! However, we are still homesteaders at heart (and are making= the best out of what little front yard we do have)...And even if we cann= ot fulfill our hearts' desire just yet, at least we have the privelege of= helping others get one step closer to fulfilling theirs'! =

    Important Notes: In case you didn't notice, the = "Animals and Livestock" Page has not gone away, but has simply been renam= ed as "Pets and Livestock". Also, we have add= ed a new Bookstore Page; and best of all, we've= added a new article about homesteading in fertil= e, uncrowded Bolivia for as low as $50 an acre! I'm mentioning this h= ere because this opportunity is available to folks for a limited time = only, so if this interests you, then please act now! Also, an importa= nt update on Gentle Spirit = Magazine: For those of you who were avid readers, but were understand= ably upset (or so you told us) about not recieving the back issues that y= ou ordered and paid for, and also about not getting any replies to your p= rior--and recent--e-mails, here is an apologetic note to all of you from = Cheryl herself, who is now trying to fulfill all those backorders: =

    Dear Friends--

    My, your website is lovely! What beautiful work.

    I am writing for help and to share some information. We were flooded out = of our rental home a couple of months ago. We were living just on the bor= der between MN and WI. It was pretty awful-- we had only a few hours to l= oad all our possessions and our seven kids up and move in with a friend w= ho has a small house and a large heart. We put everything in storage then= but clothes, etc. We have had only very limited access to AOL since our = move. I finally was able to sign on a few days ago and found I had a lot = of mail, most of it from folks who read your web page. I had to sign off = quickly and could not save anything. Got back on today, and AOL had alrea= dy cleaned my mailbox! Sigh. There were several letters from people who h= ad been waiting quite some time for various things and I really wanted to= write to them, but now I do not have their e-mail addresses. If it is a= t all possible, it would be great if you could let people know that I can= no longer access their most recent mail? Maybe they could resend it? But= if this is a hassle, that's okay.

    I am in the process of sending out many back issues of the magazine which= I have finally been able to retrieve from storage. On top of everything,= the transmission of our van went out, so I couldn't haul the magazines t= o the home where we are staying until recently. However, I *do* want to s= end out as many issues as I can from here to avoid lugging all the boxes = of magazines back to WA. We leave for home next Monday. =

    Sorry to trouble you with all of this and thank you so much for your time= =2E It is much appreciated. I especially thank you for your comments abou= t Gentle Spirit and for sending past subscribers our way. This has been v= ery helpful to us. We still hope to get new magazine issues on the web pa= ge, but of course, until we're home, we won't be able to do that. In the= meantime, I'm hoping we can at least attend to the letters which we have= received since your kind mention of us!

    Thank you for your kindness--
    Peace in Christ--
    Cheryl Seelhoff
    clseelhoff@aol.com

    (BTW, for those of you "Christians" who have no forgiveness or fon= dness in your hearts for Cheryl (as if you yourselves are all "perfect an= d sinless") we don't want to keep hearing about it! The above post= from her will remain right where it is until we say otherwise! So there!= )

    NOTICE! As of Feb. 1st, Classified Ads returned = to costing $10 per month. Ads will be charged for monthly, and any ads wh= ich go unpaid will be dropped; but anyone who pays 3 months in advance wi= ll receive a 5% discount; 6 months in advance, a 10% discount; or a year = in advance, a 15% discount. Any ad that gets dropped will be reinstated--= at the next update--upon our reception of payment. (So please, folks, don= 't send in any more unpaid ads and expect us to post them as Classifieds.= =2E.Either pay for them or simply resubmit them as basic name/address/URL= entries, and then we can place them in the directory at NO charge. Howev= er, this will only work for companies selling products or organizations p= roviding services...NOT individuals listing want ads.)

    Many of you have asked our permission to trade l= inks with us, but please know that there is NO need to ask; if you truly = feel your link in any way relates to our site, we will add it if you simp= ly provide us the URL. We do try to check as many links as we can, but we= have so many now that we no longer have time to check them all, even to = see which ones are still active. Therefore, we ask for our viewers to con= tinue to update us on any site (or address) that has changed, or if, in t= heir opinion, is not relative to our site in any way. Thank you, those of= you who have been keeping us updated...we VERY MUCH appreciate it! =

    We're now having to regularly condense the "Letters to the Editors" Page, due to its size, an= d thus we've deleted many old entries that consisted of simple, one-sente= nce requests--such as simple link or entry updates--in order to leave spa= ce for the longer letters and homesteading-related questions. Therefore, = you may not see the entry or link you e-mailed us on the "Letters" Page; = but that does not mean that it has not been updated...Please check and se= e first before you e-mail us the info again.

    = Many of you have informed us that you would be s= ending us articles, drawings and photographs to post and display on the s= ite, but so far we've received nothing...Please, folks, without yo= ur contributions, Homestead.org will never become the full-fledged online= magazine and resource directory it was meant to be, which in turn= means that Homestead.org will be limited in the amount of help and infor= mation it can pass on you, its readers! So help us to help others by cont= ributing your articles of homesteading wisdom and expertise! Send your po= ems, drawings or articles--how-tos, stories, anecdotes, hints, tips, reci= pies, craft projects, whatever--on any homesteading-related subject you p= lease...Just e-mail them to = us as plain text files, and we'll handle the rest; or, if you only have t= hem in paper form, then simply mail us copies= =2E (As for the photos, please send ones that will apply to the various c= ategories listed to the left, but be creative! We are especailly in need = of photos pertaining to homesteading-realated health, finance, transporta= tion, land, and families, in that order.) =

    =

    IF YOU HAVE SENT US ANY E-MAIL, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!:

    Please DO continue to submit any sugg= estions, comments, or questions that you may have, and we wish to tha= nk all of you so far who have submitted...please keep them coming! We hav= e dutifully tried to implement all of the corrections and suggestions we'= ve received so far--please check and see, those of you who've sent them--= but if somehow we've forgotten one, then please remind us of it! Most of = your suggestions, comments, and questions have been posted on the "Letters to the Editors" Page...If your suggestion/c= omment/question is NOT of a private nature, then we will automatically po= st it. Likewise, if your e-mail is not private and does require our respo= nse, it will be placed on that page, so be sure to look for it there! And= be sure to read all those letters before posting any question you may ha= ve, because you may find the answer you need already listed there. Also, = if you know the answer to someone else's question, please e-mail it to th= em. (Is anyone REALLY reading them? There always seems to be an echo in t= here...and dust and cobwebs too! :) ) THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO START NEW FR= IENDSHIPS AND FIND NEW PEN PALS, FOLKS!!! Also, feel free to chat via E-m= ail with us and the homesteaders on Andrew Evan's Homestead Mailing List, and also on the Homestead-Work List= =2E (Neither of these mailing lists are hosted by Homestead.org.)

    We hope that businesses will consider being regu= lar advertisers or sponsors, with their very own "glossy" web pages on th= is site...See advertisement info on this. (You= may have noticed via the icon at the top of this page that we have our f= irst advertiser.) If anyone is interested, then please e-mail us. If, while scanning over any of thes= e pages, you notice an entry which reads "address requested", and you DO = happen to know the address, then please tell us; this also goes for Internet sites and Usenet newsgroups, if you know = of any we do not have listed that would be relevant here. Some pages may = not have any entries, but they will eventually, so please be patient...I = have indicated in parentheses which pages do have contents; however, feel= free to link to any page in case I forget to mention the ones to which I= have added new information.

    (Note: many categories have entries that are not= particularly related to homesteading, but are related--at least vaguely-= -to the categories themselves; perhaps you may find them useful none the = less. The newsgroups are a good example of this. I figured it would be be= tter to provide you with more resources than you need, rather than limit = you. If you agree with this or feel that I've simply "gone overboard", th= en please tell us either way.) Also, if you s= pot a on any = given page, know that it is to indicate our favorite entries on that page= =2E (This is not to imply that all the other entries are bad; but rather,= that we simply may not have reviewed them.)

    Thank You For Visiting and May God Bless You!

    The Huichol Page

    Copyright © 1995 Centro Cultural Huichol, A.C.


    While many native peoples in the Western hemisphere have been absorbed in= to the mainstream of the modern world, Mexico's Huichol people have maint= ained their traditional culture, language and spiritual way of life for c= enturies. The rugged and remote terrain of the mountainous Huichol homela= nd (in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit in Mexico) has provided a pocket= of isolation where an estimated 7,000 remaining descendants of the Aztec= s have ingeniously adapted to the demands of their harsh environment. In = doing so, the Wixalika (the name the Huichols use in their language to re= fer to themselves, meaning "prophets" or "healers") have nurtured a value= system and way of life that hold many lessons for the modern world.

    Today the Huichol culture survives as a window to the past revealing a le= gacy of indigenous ways which have become, for most part, long extinct in= the Americas. The Huichol homeland is a refreshing reminder of how the w= orld used to be when entire communities worked together as caretakers of = reciprocity between people and the planet.

    Living in harmony in healthy communities that could serve as models in a = troubled world, their cooperative lifestyle is rooted in a native spiritu= ality that is reflected in their inspiring colorful dress, diverse art fo= rms, ancient shamanic practices, and mythical ceremonial traditions.

    The Huichols believe themselves to be "mirrors of the gods" and= try to reflect this sacred vision of the world in the thoughtfulness and= the highly disciplined actions they display towards their numerous creat= or and nature deities.

    =

    Their ritual practices invite the reciprocity of the deities, who teach t= heir Huichol "steward a variety of esoteric skills that are used by = the shamans to insure equilibrium in their communities. These shamanic te= chniques have worked for centuries to empower the religious practitioners= with the knowledge to maintain nature's delicate balance between opposit= es such as sickness and health, scarci and abundance, life and death. It = all worked quite well for the Huichol people, until recently.

    In some areas of the Huichol homeland the traditions are still strong. In= other areas, the voice of the wind and the teachings of the deer have be= come echoes of the past.

    The Huichol culture is in the throes of a difficult transitional period f= rom a flourishing tribe in a once remote location to an accessible, and v= ulnerable, ethnic group nakedly exp= osed to a global audience. In no uncertain terms, the Huichols have b= een invaded by modern "conquistadores" descending upon the Huic= hols via recently built roads and airstrips, standing in line to divide t= he "spoils." Social ills such as alcoholism, cultural alienatio= n, suicide and other consequences of extreme poverty and disorientation a= re taking root. Instead of entering into the limelight of the 21st centur= y as one of Mexico's most beautiful conserved native cultures, many of th= e Huichol people are lamentedly making the debut as displaced and debilit= ated beggars in the streets. As this pre-Columbian culture is teetering o= n the edge of cultural extinction, the whole world is about to lose a dir= ect link to humanity's ancient past.

    There is so much to be learned from the healthy communities and balanced = way of life that characterize the few remaining traditional cultures like= the Huichol who have miraculosly survived against all odds into the mode= rn age. Our immense challenge is to use contemporary cultural and technol= ogical capabilities to insure the smooth transition of these people into = the 21st century, with their valuable troves of knowledge intact.

    It is precisely for this reason that the Huichol Center for Cultural Surv= ival and Traditional Arts, a U.S. non-profit corporation (known in Mexico= as the "Centro Cultural Huichol") has been working for the pas= t 13 years to empower the Huichols with the strategic thinking they need = in order to understand what is happening in the world around them, and ho= w to be successful within it, without compromising the integrity of their= core belief system.

    =

    The premise of the Huichol Center is that it is entirely possible to prov= ide the Huichols with the opportunities, technical skills, and problem so= lving abilities they need in order to interface with the world around the= m while at the same time protecting their traditional culture and way of = life.

    The Huichol Center logo stresses the importance of "sustaining cultu= ral identity through trade and tribal wisdom" Center projects have b= rought together a network of tribal leaders, religious practitioners, hea= lers, artists, naturalists and others who have joined in a concerted effo= rt to solve problems with creative solutions generated from within the Hu= ichol belief system. The focus is on creating projects within three major= categories: environmentally sustainable projects that promote a self-suf= ficient economic base, educational programs that foster Huichol values, a= nd a holistic health program that integrates Western medicine with tradit= ional healing.

    For example, one of the projects dealing with environmental sustainabilit= y is the ongoing Sustainable Futures program. This cross-cultural, educat= ional project has provided an opportunity for several Huichols to come to= the U.S. to learn about ecological restoration techniques, organic garde= ning, and how to creatively utilize their numerous renewable resources. T= he program is a joint project of the Huichol Center and the Sol y Sombra = Foundation, Permaculture Drylands Institute, and the Center for the Study= of Community in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    Other Center projects which contribute to the economic and cultural stabi= lity of the Huichol homeland include the documentation of tribal wisdom, = literacy development, skill training in traditional arts, and principles = of trade and marketing. In the area of health care, the Huichol Center pr= ovides a range of services including a primary care medical clinic with t= uberculosis treatment facitlities, a birthing center, and a soup kitchen.= Huichol public awareness activities include museum exhibits and cross-cu= ltural tribal interchange with other tribes of the Americas.

    <= P> It is the Huichol Center's experience that communities which derive a sen= se of security based on group pride are the ones best prepared to make th= e hard choices the future demands of them.

    CULTURAL SURVIVAL

    There is so much to be learned from the healthy communities and balanced = way of life that characterize the few remaining traditional cultures like= the Huichol who have miraculously survived against all odds into the mod= ern age. Our immense challenge is to use contemporary cultural and techno= logical capabilities to insure the smooth transition of these people into= the 21st century, with their valuable troves of knowledge intact.

    It is precisely for this reason that the Huichol Center for Cultural Surv= ival and Traditional Arts, a U.S. non-profit corporation (known in Mexico= as the "Centro Cultural Huichol") has been working for the pas= t 13 years to empower the Huichols with the strategic thinking they need = in order to understand what is happening in the world around them, and ho= w to be successful within it, without compromising the integrity of their= core belief system.

    In 1981, The Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and Traditional Arts wa= s established to help the Huichols preserve their cultural, spiritual, an= d artistic heritage while adapting to the demands of the twentieth centur= y world. Founded and operated by Susana Eger Valadez, an American, and he= r husband Mariano Valadez, a Huichol Indian, the Huichol Center provides = shelter and nutritious food, plus medical, economic and legal aid for mig= rant Huichols working on the tobacco plantations near the small urban cen= ter of Santiago Ixcuintla, Nayarit.

    Equally important, the Huichol Center teaches the Huichols to value and u= se their artistic talents, vision, and cultural integrity as assets. By p= roviding art materials used by the Huichols at a reduced price, and by pu= rchasing finished artwork to be marketed, the Huichol Center offers a dir= ect economic alternative to the debilitating migrant work. In addition, t= he Center's Design Archive collects, records and passes on traditional Hu= ichol patterns (many of which may otherwise be lost) to the artists. It i= s hoped these projects can help the Huichols achieve economic selfsuffici= ency through sale of their arts and crafts, so that they don't have to le= ave their homeland and seek outside work.

    While teaching people to value themselves so that they can play a valuabl= e part in the world in which they live, the Huichol Center promotes an in= tegrated problem-solving strategy that combines economic development, cul= tural preservation, and a health care system. Our goal is to build a stur= dy bridge between tradition and the future - a bridge that allows traditi= onal wisdom to enter the 21st century without destroying the people who c= arry its spirit and substance.

    All Huichol Center projects are supported by the sale of Huichol art crea= ted at the Center and contributions to our non-profit corporations in Mex= ico and the U.S.

    ARCHIVE

    The Huichol Center Ethnographic Archive contains documented knowledge fro= m shamans and other individuals who have recorded this valuable wisdom be= fore it disappears. Photographs, music, artwork, and taped interviews are= contained in this comprehensive archive. In addition, the Huichol Center= Design Archive is composed of hundreds of traditional patterns that have= been documented and are used as teaching tools for apprentice Huichol ar= tists.

    HEALTH CARE

    The health of the Huichols working in the tobacco fields has been serious= ly damaged by the effects of insecticide poisoning, malnutrition, parasit= ic diseases, and infectious diseases (i.e., measles, tuberculosis, and wh= ooping cough). Medical attention at the Huichol Center is provided by tra= ditional shamans and medical doctors, working together. Services provided= include:

    • Emergency medical care
    • Rural health maintenance care
    • Pre-natal care
    • Birthing
    • Nutritional counseling
    • Alcohol counseling

    HUNGER PROGRAM

    The Huichol Center feeds and shelters hundreds of Huichols each year who = find themselves in an urban environment without adequate resources. The C= enter's organic garden provides vegetables and fruits for nutritious meal= s. It provides an opportunity for Huichols to learn valuable skills and s= ustainable agriculture.


    ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY

    The Huichol Center Art School creates jobs that are attractive alternativ= es to the destructive conditions of the tobacco fields. The skills the ar= tisans learn, including marketing, enable them to generate income in thei= r own communities rather than seeking employment elsewhere.

    Welcome to Mushroompeople's on-line catalog for 1997.

    Mushroompeople is North America's oldest mail order supply firm for specialty mushroom growers.


    Mushroompeople guarantees its mushroom spawn to be
    healthy and vigorous or your money back.


    We became interested in mushrooms out of our concern for the global environment, and particularly the need for more forests to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and reverse global warming. But mushrooms also have a wide range of health and nutritional benefits.

    In the Orient, they are also valued as an aphrodisiac.

    Our 21st Year!

    It is our goal to provide consistently high-yielding mushroom spawn, good advice, and reliable overnight service. While we have focused primarily on farmers who grow Lentinula (shiitake), we also offer:

    • Spawn for Maitake, King Stropharia, Oysters, Hericium, Morels and Reishi;

    • Instructional videos for sale and rent-by-mail;

    • More than 300 book titles; and

    • Supplies for cultivating all mushrooms.
    We take VISA and MasterCard, and ship most items free of charge within 24 hours.
    Overnight delivery is also available.

    To request a printed a copy of our full catalog, or place an order, you can contact us at:

    Hey, gimme one of those kits...?!?

    A lot of people get started with a kit that comes in a plastic bag and consists of a pre-inoculated sawdust log or patch. We don't sell those. We don't think they are worth your time or money. You'd be better off buying mushrooms in the grocery store, usually for about half the price.

    The shiitake starter kits we sell are pre-inoculated oak dowels that a grower hammers into hardwood logs. Consider the relative value. A typical kit from the Brand X catalog costs $20 to $30 and produces 1 pound of mushrooms in 2-3 weeks. That is $20 to 30 per pound. In most places gourmet organic mushrooms will be cheaper at the store.

    A Mushroompeople starter kit costs $19 (we pay shipping!) and will inoculate 10 logs and produce its first crop in 4 to 6 months. Over 4 years, it will produce from 100 to 300 pounds of mushrooms. Less than $5 per pound!

    How To Order

    GUARANTEE: We guarantee our spawn is healthy and vigorous, capable of producing the strain you specified under the proper growing conditions. Since mushroom production from spawn depends on many factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee crop production. In the event of problems with any of our products, defective on receipt, we will gladly replace them, however, replacements must be authorized by us.

    WHEN TO ORDER SHIITAKE SPAWN: To assure a full selection and timely delivery, it is best to order the shiitake spawn 3 to 4 months in advance of use. Small orders will usually be filled within 24 hours, as long as stocks last.

    TELEPHONE ORDERS: Charges to MasterCard and VISA accounts are welcome. COD may be available, except on spawn, specialty soils or orders outside the continental U.S. Phone or Fax (1-800) FUNGI-96 (1-800-386-4496). Maybe you'd like to use our ORDER FORM.

    CUSTOMER SERVICE: Inquiries regarding orders, shipping, or billing should be directed to (615) 964-2200 between 10 AM and 5 PM weekdays. Please give your invoice number or date of sale when making inquiries.

    SHIPMENT: We attempt to turn around all orders within 24 hours. We ship parcels by UPS whenever possible. Parcels may go Priority Mail to ensure fast delivery. Please provide both your street address and your post office box number (if you have one), and your telephone number. Shipping and handling is paid (unless price quoted is FOB Summertown) in continental U.S. only. Hawaii, Alaska, and foreign orders estimate 40% shipping and handling fee. There may be additional charges for heavy or foreign packages, depending on actual shipping costs. Freight is charged on all COD orders.

    AVAILABILITY: Inventories are planned several months in advance to be more than adequate. Nonetheless because of the nature of producing live cultures, circumstances can and do change. With your permission, we will substitute a comparable strain, if available.

    RETURNS: Merchandise (except for spawn) may be returned for credit only, less shipping and handling. No cash refunds.

    RE-ISOLATION: Our products are sold for the purpose of producing mushrooms. Re-isolation or further propagation of any of our strains is prohibited without the express written consent of Mushroompeople.

    PAYMENT: Remittance in the form of money order, credit card information (MasterCard and VISA accepted), or check should accompany all orders. As we are a cash business, credit card accounts will be charged when the order is placed, not when the goods are shipped. Personal checks may take 14 working days to clear. Foreign checks may take 60 days. Prices are subject to change without notice. All sales are final.

    DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATIONS: Except as otherwise stated herein, Mushroompeople makes no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, by operation of law or otherwise, and hereby expressly disclaims any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty of any kind, including any implied warranty through course of dealing or usage. The sole and exclusive remedy against Mushroompeople shall be for replacement of defective product. All warranty terms and remedy limitations are embodied in this writing, irrespective of representations to the customer contained elsewhere. This writing constitutes the final expression of the parties agreement and is a complete statement of the terms of that agreement.

    SALES TAX: All orders shipped to a Tennessee address carry the Tennessee Sales Tax of 8.0%.

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND HAPPY MUSHROOMING!

    Welcome to the Intentional Communities Web site.

    New the week of July 7 - 14, 1997:
    Our list of intentional communities on the Web is continually updated -- we've added over 15 in the last month. Check it out.

    Intentional Community is an inclusive term for ecovillages, cohousing, residential land trusts, communes, student co-ops, urban housing cooperatives and other related projects and dreams...

    This Web site serves the growing communities movement. We provide important information and access to crucial resources for seekers of community, existing and forming communities, and other friends of community.

    What is intentional community, you ask? First you may want to see What's True About Intentional Communities: Dispelling the Myths . Then perhaps a bit of historical context with Geoph Kozeny's, Intentional Communities: Lifestyles Based on Ideals. Followed finally with Who We Are: An Exploration of What "Intentional Community" Means , by Dan Questenberry. Further questions? Contact the FIC at fic@ic.org.

    Explore our site! The navigation bar will help keep you oriented. Feel free to use the Feedback link on any page to let us know what you think.

    			shipping charges
    
    1-buy a wading pool or build a flow tray out of 2X4's and line with plastic 
      & use garbage pails or an iron pipe stand with hardboard on top or a table 
      to support your tray
    2-buy a 12V bilge pump which can then be connected to a car battery charger 
      or other 12V power supply (or sump or fountain or fish pump) 
    3-buy a bilge-pump thru-hull fitting and connect to your pump which is now 
      in your garbage pail or other reservoir
    4-fill the res. with water and leave the pump on full blast to see if it is 
      going to overflow your tray, if it does, drill a couple of holes in the 
      hose which will reduce the flow, or use plastic insert `T' fittings,
      or add an overflow fitting, make sure that your pump doesn't run dry
    5-fill the tray to 4-8 inches with Perlite & soilless mix (I haven't tried
      compost yet myself) at 10:1, I know it will float at first, so leave your 
      reservoir empty and top fill to moisten, it will stop floating in a 
      while, or use pea gravel or river stone, make sure to add some 
      dolomitic limestone to balance pH, ,also use plastic patio door 
      screen on your fill/drain fitting
    6-mix a complete soluble fertilizer according to the instrucions on the 
      label,(I didn't say non-organic), also add a super-concentrated soluble 
      Kelp tablet to your reservoir to ensure all trace elements & minerals 
      (Zinc,Silicon,Selenium,etc.etc.) are present and grow away, add a 400 
      or 1000 Watt MH or HPS light on a mover  & supplemental CO2 for best 
      results
