Auto-resilience & creativity through the permaculture keyhole

DESCRIPTION

You might have heard of permaculture before? While you usually think of ‘organic gardening’, permaculture is actually a creative design process that can be applied to many aspects of human habitation –from education to agriculture or economics. In this workshop, we invite you to explore how permaculture embodies design thinking and how it can serves as a framework that teach us to use our creativity in order to go toward regenerative societies that respect Humans as well as the Earth and all its biodiversity. We invite you to break the boundaries of what you define creativity as, to reflect on our current human societies, and to be inspired by nature. And what if creativity and its ability to help us think outside of current paradigms were holding the key to transitioning to a more sustainable future?

FACILITATOR

Zoe Rozar : Coach, social engineer, geomedical technician, permaculture teacher… While Zoë seems to have an atypical journey, her focus remains on creating a world where more people live with a smiling heart. Through research, teaching and project facilitation, her intention is to contribute to a global legacy aiming to maintain the health of air, water, soil, exponential biodiversity and access to sunlight, and remediate damages done to these. In 2015 she sets up Institut du Bon Pasteur; where, together with a cluster of doers, they engage in projects that involve the manufacture of products and services in Education and Geographic Medicine ( the ecological, artistic and technological approach of Planetary health in service of Human Population physical and mental wellbeing (aka public health ).

Victoria Fauve Desvaux : ‘Is there another way to do things? Could it be more positive for all involved? What would that look like?’’ are the questions that guided Victoria for the last few years and brought her to work, study and volunteer on quite a few seemingly-different projects. This, between other things, leads her to permaculture. Nowadays she ‘create spaces that facilitate re-connection to Nature’ through GWAWR services, believing that our disconnection from Nature, our communities and our-self is the root cause of many of the not-so-perfect situations we see in the world. GWAWR services aim to do so by creating or updating physical spaces and events to make them more eco-friendly using the lenses of permaculture and with a big focus on waste management and community building; and by creating events and workshops around environmental topics. This work is informed by her past studies and work in Community Service Work. She can also be found involved in local citizen initiatives, especially as a coordinator of the citizen platform Zero Waste Mauritius.
