Day 3: The ethics and site audits...

A quick lecture on marketing and branding by Nici Richter. Take home message..."Nothing can be sold to you that you don't want."



We then looked at how the application of the permaculture ethics of Earth Care, People Care, Surplus Share can affect the various spheres of our lives: spiritual health and well-being, culture and education, the economy, land tenure and community governance, tools and technology, land and nature stewardship.

In the afternoon we split into groups to take stock of what we have to work with for our design of the Rocklands site...our natural resources, existing site resources, water and a stakeholder analysis.
