Permaculture principles are most often seen applied in the external parts of our lives, in gardens and food systems. Does permaculture offer wisdom for our inner world? What if we applied permaculture to our personal lives, like our health, intellectual and emotional life, career, relationships, and more?

Join permaculturist Jen Andreani as she shares her journey of applying permaculture philosophy to every area of her life. In 2020 Jen found herself in lockdown in the middle of a global pandemic, physically cut off from the many community and social connections she had built for mutual aid. She realized she had focused on the resilience of her garden, social networks, and external world to meet her needs, but suddenly without them, she found herself stressed, anxious, and depressed. She paused to envision and completely redesign her life inside and out using permaculture and within a couple of months she went from burned out to flourishing. She'll introduce the framework she used to increase her inner resilience and ability to quickly bounce back and become strong, healthy, and successful no matter what comes her way.

BIO: Jen Andreani is on a mission to help people and the planet flourish.

Jen is a certified permaculture designer, Lifebook Leader, resilience coach, yoga teacher, and lifelong learner. Using an intuitive, whole-systems thinking approach, Jen helps people apply intentional, holistic design philosophy to their lives and organizations. She has several years of experience as a transformational facilitator in business, nonprofit, and community settings.

With strengths such as innovation, creativity, and the ability to relate new ideas in unique ways, Jen helps her clients come up with personalized, effective, and integrative strategies to reach their goals and live their ideal life. She empowers people with the tools to be strong and resilient in all areas of life, not just one or two.

Jen is grateful to have been featured in the 2021 award-winning film, "Coming Home: Natural Living in a Modern World" at the Sunshine City Film Festival. Watch at www.jenandreani.com/about-me

The foundations for building true wealth are outlined in the major permaculture texts, but we don't pay nearly enough attention to them. Let's take a deeper dive together and explore the tools outlined in permaculture that can help us cultivate true wealth and financial resilience. Live Q and A after the presentation.

Laura Oldanie is a green living and wealth coach, who blogs at RichAndResilientLiving.com, where she explores money and lifestyle choices for a regenerative future.

Resiliency means that you have choices. You are able to survive well even when things are changing around you. How can we all be more resilient in pandemics, in the face of changing weather, changing economic conditions and other changes? We’ll discuss some simple things to keep in mind that can help. Live Q and A after the presentation.

Potluck at our farm! As farmers, we're very conscious of the seasons; they're very much a part of our lives. Winter solstice is a time when plants are drawing in and going dormant, but will soon start coming to life again. We use this time to harvest and enjoy our fall and winter crops, but also to plan, celebrate, and deepen relationships in the community.

So if you would like to celebrate regenerative, ecologically friendly living with us, come on down. We'll share some exciting developments for growers and farmers in the area, give you a short tour of our farm (which will be in winter mode), share a meal and get to know each other around a fire.

4 PM for tour and short briefing, 5 PM celebration starts

Bring a dish! Bring something locally grown or with locally grown ingredients if you can! We're looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Bring a drum or instrument if you wish.

We are launching the first in a series of Earthskills gatherings at Our Permaculture Farm in Brooksville, Florida.

We will spend the weekend sharing skills from tracking to canning to wild edibles to caring for animals, growing food ecologically, and many other skills. All activities will be outdoors.

Our goal is to create a community setting whereby people with earthskills can meet each other and share their skills with others of like mind, learn from each other, get to know each other, and create stronger communities in our bioregions.

This event is open to everybody, but we expect it mostly to be attended by people in West Central Florida.

Because we want to keep this as accessible as possible, we are asking for donations and suggest a sliding scale amount. Suggested donations range from $25-50, which help us to cover costs of preparing the site, organizing and hosting the event.

To keep our costs low, we will ask that you bring your own food and eating utensils to this event. We will have facilities to warm it. We will have some camping spots available. Please let us know ahead of time if you intend to camp. Outdoor toilets and shower facilities available.

Sat - 10 AM to 5 PM, with evening activities and fire
Sun - 9 AM to 2 PM

Our Permaculture Farm
11251 Salina St, Brooksville, FL 34614
