From 12–15 June, I attended one of the LINK retreats, which opened with a Work that Reconnects workshop. I didn’t quite know what to expect. During my PDC, co-teacher Dan McTiernan had mentioned the term. I later bought a book about it for my wife – which, to my regret, I never read myself.

I found the workshop deeply valuable. It helped me reconnect not only with some of my projects, but also with myself and my feelings. I would recommend such a workshop to anyone, and even suggested it be included before every PDC.

The International Permaculture CoLab is starting a community-driven effort to elevate permaculture research and spark more public discourse around permaculture as a tool for addressing today’s global challenges—climate change, food security, biodiversity loss, and social justice.

Our aim is simple:

To spotlight existing research, build dialogue between researchers and practitioners, and make permaculture research more visible and accessible.

Who we’re looking for:

The EuPN has just released all sessions from the fifth volume of our PermaTalks series (launched January 2025). Whether you missed the live talks or want to dive back into these rich, often interactive discussions, you can now watch:

We’re excited to share that all EuPN members can now publish their own blog posts on the platform!

Your blog will appear directly on your member profile – for example, you can find Nick’s blog at: permaculture-network.eu/permaculturist/1951/blog. There’s also a central blog stream where you can explore posts from all members: permaculture-network.eu/blog.

We’re happy to announce the integration of a new, searchable Funding Opportunities List on the Permaculture Network website — making it easier than ever for permaculture practitioners, projects, and educators to find relevant funding sources.
