    The word "perma(nent)culture" was created in 1978 by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, based on the experiment of Mr Fukuoka with natural farming.

  • Meeting with eco-village co-founders: Satu & Jarkko Mattila
    24 June 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Satu and Jarko Mattila are change agents of the Pirkanmaa region. Together with others, they have created an eco-village where about 30 people live permanently.
    When you start something like that, you obviously enter a fascinating journey because everything is going to be questioned. It’s a life time adventure where you’ll have to re-think the food system, the energy consumption, the quality of the buildings, the dirty waters management, the relationships between the co-founders and the (…)

    13 June 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    In Finland, the cottage lifestyle is a beautiful connection with simplicity and nature. It may not be that familiar to foreigners so during this evening we will address that. We’ll also have tips to behave more consciously when we are at the mökki and also learn from community living in beautiful Finnish nature.
