I had such fun with this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World. I am joined by my great friend Suzie Cahn, a leader from the Irish permaculture world and active in permaculture education globally. She is an adventurous teacher who's worked with communities from Mongolia to Belize.
Back in 2008, Suzie and her husband Mike established Carraig Dúlra - social enterprise, community education, nature connection and permaculture hub in County Wicklow and is exploring her Irish indigeneity through this lens.
Suzie and I met at a climate change conference in Findhorn Scotland a few years back and just clicked. She coordinates a Climate Justice Centre in Ireland piloting community-led approaches to Climate Action and is active in ECOLISE (the European network for community-led initiatives on climate change and sustainability). She deeply involved in the transition and permaculture movements
You can hear her speak about her many threads of interest in her own podcast Cailleach (you'll hear this episode there too - we did the beautiful multi-functional permaculture thing and interviewed each other!)
You can also catch the youtube version of this conversation here.

The world needs more permaculture teachers everywhere sharing local ways of one planet living, regenerative design and growing, and working toward a climate-safe future. Being or becoming a local grower - on a farm or in your backyard - is critically important, as is supporting local regenerative growers to supplement your food needs.
