For this month’s movie screening, we’re going to view an independent film by Paul Krafel called “The Upward Spiral.” This film presents some interesting perspectives on influencing change in your environment, whether socially or environmentally. It’s an unusual film, but has some great lessons related to pattern recognition, Permaculture, and designing for resilience.

The film is based on the book, “Seeing Nature: Deliberate Encounters with the Visible World” by Paul Krafel. Here’s a TEDx talk from Paul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjy5s2_fyXs

Bring some food to share if you’d like. Bring your own plates and utencils, and let’s try to make this a no-waste event! We’ll have plenty of time for a discussion about the film, or about whatever else is happening in Philly related to Permaculture and regenerative living!

Where: Repair the World 4029 Market Street Philadelphia
When: 7PM – 9PM, Wednesday March 30th

One of my favorite podcasts to listen to is the Permaculture Podcast with Scott Mann.  A bunch of the recent episodes have focused on Philadelphia-area Permaculturists.  It’s great seeing people getting exposure on a global platform like this podcast.  Philly has some amazing work being done.  Check them out below!

Episode 1608: Jewish Traditions with Nati Passow, Part 1 (Faith and Earth Care)

Episode 1609: An introduction to Philadelphia Orchard Project

Episode 1611: Permanent Multi-Culture with Robyn Mello

Episode 1613: Philly Round Table, Part 1

Episode 1619: Philly Roundtable Q&A

Both of these episodes are “part one’s.”  When the follow-up episodes are released, you can find them at ThePermaculturePodcast.com, but I’ll also share them here!  I’m also looking forward to the release of the Philly Round-Table Discussion podcast episode.  It was a great event, and I can’t wait to re-listen to the discussion!
