Episode 90 - Become A Force Of Nature

Are you searching for a way out of the rat race? Are you feeling like time is running out? I’m sure you’ve seen…. EXPERTS PREDICT: Only 8 Years Left of Wild Animals Only 12 Years Left to Stop Climate Death Almost Every Industry Currently On Top WILL CRASH In the Next 10 Years That Means: SAVINGS DON”T MATTER RETIREMENT DOESN”T MATTER COLLEGE DOESN”T MATTER NONE OF THAT CAN BE REAL IF WE LOSE THE NATURAL WORLD - IT’S A LIE WE ARE TELLING OURSELVES AS THE HOUSE BURNS DOWN EVERYONE’S 10 & 20 YEAR PLANS ARE MOOT IF THEY AREN”T REGENERATIVE & RESILIENT - It doesn’t matter how secure they are now. The stability we have now will not be here soon. Take Back the Tempo - it’s time to WAKE UP & WALK OUT of the burning building. We have a CHOICE still but time is running out. The predictions are just that PREDICTIONS - inaccuracy is expected but the direction is undeniable. It’s time we say NO MORE - We no longer accept the old story. It’s time for us each in our own lives to write a New Story. Get Informed - skip the mainstream media and start studying SOLUTIONS. Now this seems Hard. It seems hard to find & vet solutions online and even in person right now because there’s a panicked scraping of the bottom of the barrel currently with those hording the remains saying whatever comes to mind to stall the realization as long as possible. The fact is the governments, politicians, industries, fossil fuel industry, mining, industrial ag, big chem, et. they all have known what they are doing is destroying the planet for a long time. George Washington held American farmers in open disgust for their farming practices. Plato and Aristotle worried too. This is NOT a new story but a 10,000 year old habit that has destroyed the world, but that’s still only 5% of the story. 95% of our existence has been regenerative - homo sapiens had a compostable culture for 190,000 years. That’s who we REALLY are. The Info iS OUT THERE: Aboriginal, Indigenous Insights, Advanced Permaculture, Educational & High Performance Psychology, New Mycology, New Biology, New Neuroscience, Quantum Physics, etc. You need a New Story: HAVE YOUR PICK!! Get Active - We need to take action NOW today this week this month NOW. We can’t wait any longer or hesitate. EVERY MOMENT OF GROWTH AND EVERY REGENERATIVE ACTION HAS EXPONENTIAL POSITIVE EFFECTS RIGHT NOW. As we have lost over 50% of ALL LIFE the past century, nurturing life is NOT happening, so every foothold nature gets is HUGE and the rebirth of what is ALREADY LOST. BUT I don’t Have Time BUT I don’t have money BUT I don’t have energy BUT I don’t have support Whatever follows BUT is your limiting belief. THat’s part of the Old Story too. If you are hearing this, you are on the internet and have the same access to resources as I do. We CAN find a community of support online, we CAN educate ourselves, we CAN QUIT, We CAN LEAVE, We CAN CHANGE, We CAN BE FORCES OF NATURE. Become a FORCE of Nature - Restore Large Landscapes Regreen Deserts Restore Local Communities & Economies Restore the Oceans & Watersheds Provide Sanctuary for Biodiversity to Regenerate Redesign cities and urban areas to be regenerative It’s ALL POSSIBLE - I KNOW PEOPLE DOING IT. They’re my mentors, colleagues, peers, and leading examples - many of them are in my course. https://matt-powers.mykajabi.com/p/the-advanced-permaculture-student-online-signup-page

How Will The Advanced Permaculture Certification Work?

Show Notes: How will the Advanced Permaculture Certification work? It won’t work like a PDC. It’s not about # of hours you watch a video or listen to lecture or if you can demonstrate learning in a backyard or homestead design on paper. All the instructors, we all want you to LIVE Permaculture inside & outside the garden. It can’t be overnight & we can’t do it ALL alone on a homestead: it has to be a community effort. Have you met folks who are 100% or nearly completely off the grid? They don’t get out much or do much other than work on their homestead. They can’t scale much because they are maintaining so many systems. Have you met the inverse? The niche regenerative entrepreneurs? These folks pick a path and master it providing their community with ethical regenerative resources. Jack of all Trades Master of None - I was able to excel in music once I focused on one instrument. Likewise in homesteading, we often stretch ourselves thin and cannot excel at or scale most of our systems. Our Adv Certification process will focus on getting you on the path to making this your life and your living: it works much like a senior project. Make a certification proposal at the end of the course. Get it approved. Present it to the class. Put it into action and report back on your progress. According to your own timelines and metrics for success, you will earn your certification. You’ll have our support, the entire community will be with you every step of the way to answers questions and bounce ideas off of. We have almost 50 teachers now so you get that diversity of point of view: Tour the Real Regenerative Niches that are in The Advanced Permaculture Student Online, learn how to partner with nature at a next level inside and outside the garden.

Why Bother Gardening? (or The Top 6 Reasons to Garden This Year)

Why Bother Gardening? Isn’t it going to be hard to even approach the cost efficiency and quality of store bought products? How can amateurs even compete? Actually, Amateurs lead in terms of growing. Those farmers have to tend acres and acres of food in most instances, so their products don’t get the same amount of individual attention and care. We can improve our soil, plants, and our products much easier because of the size of our systems and the fact that we aren’t making picture perfect foods for a store scenario. A lot of what those farmers grow never makes it to sale - most of their work gets thrown out, not even properly composted and returned to their fields. We always hear about food waste, but think about it from the farmer’s perspective: all that work just to be thrown out? It’s a hard situation and makes it harder for them to care specifically about their crops and plants like home gardeners readily do. You know what I’m talking about: how many times has a gardening friend of yours begged you to come and check out this amazing tree - you’ll never believe the fruit on it this year or you HAVE to taste this! Gardeners have more enthusiasm on average because they know why Gardening is so special. The Top 6 Reasons to Garden this Year Save $$$ on Seed & Food: Grow, Preserve, Seed Save, & Barter Best Taste - Nothing like it in stores Nutrient Density - Eat Less & Stay Full Longer for better digestive health & a longer lifespan Selection Diversity - Grow the rarest foods that stores can’t even hope to carry Light Exercise - may start out with digging but ends with daily walks with a basket Self-Reliance - Confidence, Freedom, Security, & Community Stability Make this the Year you start that Garden or take your Garden to the Next Level!
