A ‘pingback’ to this website has happened, referencing ‘The Manual for Teaching Permaculture Creatively’ that Robin Clayfield and Skye wrote back in to early 90s and launched in 1995. Rob Hopkins was a key note speaker at Kinsale College’s celebration of their Permaculture Couse being 21 years old (Kinsale is in Ireland) and this is a transcription of his speech. An inspiring read and I was very happy to see that our Manual was an influence on his teaching journey 🙂 Rob was responsible for coming up with the ‘Energy Descent Action Plan’ for his Permaculture Course participants to undertake (I understand) and then to kick start ‘Transition Towns’ and the Transition Network in UK.

It was from John Champaign, a highly respected Permaculture elder and teacher. “Can’t recommend this learning highly enough. Lucky to attend this training with Robin Clayfield back in 2004 at Robyn Frances’ place in Nimbin registering for APT. Taught my first PDC soon after and used many of the techniques learnt in it……….and still do. Thanks Robin xx John Champaign John’s September PDC at The Crossing on the South Coast of NSW will be his 50th PDC. Yay!
