    logo_inspirationofsedonaSedona AZ (May 27, 2017) – On Thursday, June 8th, at 6:30PM, Inspiration of Sedona will present the Sedona premiere of the award-winning documentary, Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective. This will be followed by an open, public discussion with local permaculture designer Chris Anderson.

    Everywhere you hear that we need to minimize our environmental footprint and reduce our impact. But what if we turned that kind of thinking on its head? What if, as architect and sustainability expert Bill McDonough says, instead of trying to be “less bad,” we try to be “more good.” What if our footprints became beneficial? What if we could meet human needs while increasing the health and well-being of our planet? This is the premise of Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective, a feature length documentary introducing permaculture: a design method that offers an ecological lens for solving issues related to agriculture, economics, governance, and more.

    20170527_inspirationThe film presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people, and translates the diversity of permaculture into something that can be understood by all. The film covers permaculture-in-action in rural, suburban, and urban landscapes. For those familiar with the concept, it is a call to action and a glimpse into what kind of projects and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar with it, it is an introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. For everyone, it is a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces.

    After the film, Chris Anderson, Permaculture Designer at Permaculture Education and Design in Sedona, will join us for the discussion and be available to answer questions. This is a special opportunity to become more informed and learn about permaculture and the variety of things you can do to make your environmental footprint a beneficial one.

    Chris has been practicing sustainable living since 1994, when he began working on organic farms. He later developed a market garden business and co-created a mobile environmental education program for schoolchildren in Appalachian, Ohio that served over 2,500 students in twelve schools. He earned a Permaculture Design Certificate in 2001 and became a Rainwater Catchment Systems Accredited Professional in 2008. He was the former Vice President of Eden on Earth, LLC, a local ecological landscaping company specializing in creating abundant and edible landscapes that are irrigated naturally with rainwater and greywater.

    Chris gardens at his West Sedona home and was involved in creating a community Food Forest at the Crescent Moon Ranch Community Garden. He is a Board of Directors Member of Gardens for Humanity in Sedona. He was awarded the Norman B. Herkenham Award by Keep Sedona Beautiful at their 2015 Native Plant Workshop for furthering the education of people about Permaculture, native plants, and their use in native pant landscaping. He draws on his diversity of experience while revitalizing landscapes, and growing resilient edible native and heritage plants “that want to grow here.”

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
