PermaTree

The VISION in a nutshell is, to live a sustainable life in harmony with nature as self-sufficient as possible. With permaculture as a practical tool for self-supporting ecosystems to build and to promote biodiversity and biodiversity. To understand the processes of nature and to act upon them. A community where you can come, share, learn and be inspired for a better sustainable life. We set impulses for future generations by researching sustainable lifestyles.

TIME – We are all visitors just passing by
The only constant in flow of life is change. Like the process of crawling baby caterpillar that evolves into a wonderful butterfly in spring and lives a summer long. So is our visit, as a guest on the planet earth, limited in time. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love…and then we return home.” (Australian Aboriginal proverb) Our modern world has mutated into a machine blindly running behind our backs. We work, buy, consume and live literally in a throwaway society. Although we live in a world of permanent time saving, there is always no time left and at the same time the pressure increases with unhealthy traits.

TRIBE – Collaborative Community
We believe that to live in balance with ecology but also in balance with our fellow human beings, is very important to us. What’s good for the tribe is good for everyone. A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. To integrate in the existing local community but also to create a site for all people to interact and share in an open way knowhow, ideas, experience and social exchanges with other people and cultures. The natural willingness to support each other in a collaborative way. A place where people come together and create mutual enrichment. We want to promote to recycle meanwhile lost knowhow through people who want to share their learned skills and collected wisdom with others people. To awaken long ago forgotten rituals. With the long term goal to gain the ability to produce ourselves within the community the essentials things for life.

HEALTH – conscious nutrition and exercise
Most people are lucky enough to be born healthy and many do not know how to appreciate the value of health. It is therefore in the interest of each individual to be aware and to eat and live healthy. This also requires a healthy environment and getting enough exercise or movement. Research shows that walking 10’000 steps a day will significantly improve your health. But modern humans is move as little as 2000 steps per day. The only working muscle left, the brain muscle, is dammed in standby mode to work only passively. Today there is almost no interaction left, what humans were initially designed for. With the Global Revolution, in which we stand today, self-sustainable lifestyle and health awareness has become a growing interest for us. We figured that if we can supply ourselves with what we need to live, then we not only know exactly where and how things come from but are also more aware of what it takes to do so.

CHANGE – back to nature with permaculture
We found the principle of permaculture that aims to create permanently functioning, sustainable and natural cycles, to be the best basis for a new start As to our lifestyle, it enables us to live in independent and free from the commercial world also stop being dependent from any grids such as water, electricity, and nuclear power plants. We want to expand the idea of “less is more” even further. Self-sufficient life means for us to know where the vegetables and fruits come without chemical poison and genetic engineering.
We want to set up interconnected regenerative growing and evolving natural cycles that will go by the flow.

TRANSPARENCY – open information
More important than ever in today’s global world where, unfortunately, information is not open yet and available for everyone as it should in a perfect world. There are no absolutes. Complete transparency doesn’t serve anyone well. But we believe that appropriate, relevant and local information allows our message to be more authentic and therefore heard and believed as a result. It will also help others to make more evidence-based researches and intelligent choices for the future of us all.

FUTURE – restoring the balance
Definition of Environment – it’s the sum total of what is around us. It includes living things and natural forces. The environment of living things provides conditions for development and growth, as well as of danger and damage. Living things do not simply exist in their environment. They constantly interact with it. Organisms change in response to conditions in their environment. The environment consists of the interactions among plants, animals, soil, water, temperature, light, and other living and non-living things.

We are the first generation to experience the effects of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it. We are part of a new society that sets the first steps in a sustainable and regenerative and consistently evolving natural ecosystem in which the human species is part of. We set new paths for the future of our children and want to share unknown and forgotten principles to restore the equilibrium for the planet earth. We want our children to know the names and benefits of all the edible plants and fruits. Unlike our generation we hope them to rather now the fruit names instead of the car brand names. The global, commercial, corporate, brand, marketing, consumer focused society we are currently experiencing will be a chapter in the history of humans. It’s now time live in balance with our society, animals and the entire planet.

PROJECTS – step for step
The permaculture Farm PermaTree is currently being built step for step. Thank to our research and Vision (link) we have a clear picture of what needs to be developed to get it up and running. It will take some time until the permaculture Farm PermaTree is embedded in the natural cycles This is a lifetime / long term project. Many sub-projects will need to be developed and implemented. We have split up all the work tasks in single sub-projects which will also be available as workshops. The following topics will be held in sub-projects as a workshop
