The Heart of Permaculture

Greetings All. It’s Bill Wilson here.

It is almost 2025 and there is a new training I am ready to begin sharing this year. For those of you who know me, this is the training I have been thinking and talking about for several years now. In the Permaculture Design Course (PDC) I spend an hour talking about the Heart of Permaculture and it is a favorite part of the course for many of us because we talk about the deeper urges or feelings many of us think about at 3am as we navigate our way through life. The big questions? How do I integrate my inner life with my outer life? How do I live a life of greater meaning and greater joy?

So, What Will the Heart of Permaculture Training be About?

In Permaculture we simply asks two fundamental questions:

– What is?
&
– How do things really work?

There are no sacred cows or beliefs in permaculture.
What we are attempting to do is to look honestly at life to figure out ways to provide security and abundance for ourselves while also caring for others, for life on the planet and for future generations. In reality, it is just about honoring creation itself.

I have found it to be a very satisfying and even spiritual journey.

One of key things our students learn when going through the Permaculture Design Course is that even though the challenges before us in the world seem increasingly complex, the actual solutions to these problems remain EMBARRASINGLY simple. Not necessarily easy, but they are simple.

The Spiritual Journey is Actually Quite Simple Too

So too have I found, that the spiritual journey (or shall we say the path to clarity, joy, peace and inner abundance) often was presented to be complex or even elusive in our culture and over the long-known history of humankind.

But through my life’s journey and experiences, and by going deep into permaculture, I have found that the spiritual journey is really EMBARRASINGLY simple as well.

I am not sure yet what form this new training will take but I do know that I want to share it with those interested in what I have found to be the simple truths and pathways to greater understanding, joy and love.

I have been on this journey for almost 50-years now and there was a lot of ‘unlearning’ that needed to be done.

But it was around year 30, after studying and thinking about what life really is and how it works, that I unexpectedly rounded a corner and poked my head out of the midst for the first time. With that greater clarity came the experience of an inner peace and knowing that I had not felt before and it has not left me sense.

I Will Share Every Detail About This Journey
