Patrick, Blackwood (Woody), and back in the
day, Zephyr. We live in Daylesford, Australia
on a quarter-acre permaculture plot, home to
our School of Applied Neopeasantry at Tree
Elbow University on Djaara peoples' country .
We base our creative practice on our concept
of permapoesis, which simply means
permanent making or regenerative living – an
antidote to disposable culture. We practice
an art that participates in what it represents;
an art of social warming in an era of global
warming. Food ethics and politics are central
to our practice. Generating food that brings
human and ecological health and global
justice is our creative call to arms, within the
sphere of the local. We teach a unique skill
set of radical neopeasant homemaking,
community economy making and other
accountable living skills to volunteers called
SWAPs (Social Warming Artists and
Permaculturists) and teach Permaculture
Living Courses (PLCs). We are bloggers,
fermentors, writers, public speakers, poets,
artists, video makers who also make music,
but mostly we're a family who belong to a
bloody great community and therefore we're
much more than the sum of our parts.
