12 Principles of Permaculture: Creating the New in a Way that Lasts

How do these work for us in the Feldenkrais Work?

Quite well, I think:

Twelve Principle of Permaculture:

From David Holmgren’s  Permaculture: Principles and Pathways beyond Sustainability

1)     OBSERVE AND INTERACT :  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

2)     CATCH & STORE ENERGY: Make hay while the sun shines

3)      OBTAIN A YIELD: You can’t work on an empty stomach

4)     APPLY SELF-REGULATION & ACCEPT FEEDBACK: The sins of the fathers are visited unto the seventh generation

5)     USE & VALUE RENEWABLE RESOURCES & SERVICES: Let nature take its course

6)     PRODUCE NO WASTE: A stitch in time saves nine. Waste not, want not.

7)     DESIGN FROM PATTERN TO DETAIL: Can’t see the wood for the trees.

8)     INTEGRATE RATHER THAN SEGREGATE: Many hands make light work.

9)     USE SMALL & SLOW SOLUTIONS: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Slow and steady wins the race.

10)  USE & VALUE DIVERSITY: Don’t put all your eggs into one basket.

11)  USE EDGES & VALUE THE MARGINAL:  Don’t think you are on the right path just because it is a well-beaten path.

12)  CREATIVELY USE & RESPOND TO CHANGE:  Vision is not seeing things as they are, but as they will be.
