While the new year is still fresh, I took some time to look back. At the European Permaculture Network (EuPN), we track site visits via Matomo. Matomo is a privacy-focuse open-source alternative to Google Analytics. Since we also host the EuPN on our own server, we have access to the raw server log files as well.
In a world where climate headlines can often overwhelm us, it can be easy to forget the power of small, local actions. For us—four women living in different parts of Europe, coming together around a shared design experiment reminded us just how much difference we can make when we act, reflect, and learn together.
January has a strange reputation with the pressure of new intentions, resolutions and heroic plans that usually don't survive February. It is a fun subject at the christmas-dinner table though. What will you leave behind in the new year? What will you pick up or give more attention?
A permaculture approachwould be to observe (energy, time, land, relationships, body) and ask what wants to grow this year.
Permaculture Design Toolbox is available!
For very many hours in the past year, people from six different countries have been working together in the Nordic Permaculture Academy to jointly release the first batch of learning materials. First up is the Permaculture Design Toolbox in six Nordic/Baltic languages and English! The toolbox contains in the first round 44 different design tools for those who want to learn more about or deep dive into permaculture design.
At the beginning of each year, the European Permaculture Network (EuPN) hosts the PermaTalks – a lecture and discussion series running every Thursday at 18:30 CET, from 15 January to 5 March.
We’re currently looking for one additional discussion guest for two upcoming PermaTalks:
• Permaculture Courses – share your experience in teaching, structuring, or improving courses.
• Permaculture Project Implementation – bring your perspective from real-life design and implementation work.
On the 14th of October 2025 I gave a presentation / talk about Digital Permaculture for members of the Permaculture Association Britain
I used up all the taking time - over 1 hour, hence there was no time for discussions at the end. I promised to answer any questions by mail.
