Forthcoming Events and Initiatives

Film Showing: "Permaculture: the Growing Edge" on Sunday 15th January 7.30pm at St. Mary's Church, Ealing W5 5RH

Permaculture is a sustainable system of earth care that offers solutions to many of our grave environmental problems and a hopeful, proactive vision of change. The Permaculture movement, started by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the nineteen seventies, is now a worldwide network of skilled ecological designers, teachers, food growers, natural builders, environmental activists and visionaries.

Permaculture: The Growing Edge introduces us to inspiring examples of projects, and includes a visit to the homestead of David Holmgren, one of the founders of the Permaculture movement. We also track deer with naturalist Jon Young, sheet mulch an inner-city garden with Hunters Point Family, transform an intersection into a gathering place with City Repair and join mycologist Paul Stamets as he cleans up an oil spill with mushrooms. There are interviews with some of the key figures in the Permaculture movement, including David Holmgren, Penny Livingston-Stark, James Stark, Mark Lakeman, Dr. Elaine Ingham, Maddy Harland, and others.

The film is an antidote to environmental despair, a hopeful and practical look at a path to a viable, flourishing future.

A trailer can be viewed here http://www.belili.org/permaculture/Permaculture_GrowingEdge.html.

As usual, entry is free however we will ask for donations at the end of the showing to cover the costs of showing it. The film is just under an hour long so we will be making use of the time after the film to explore future directions for Ealing Transition.
