Frequently Asked Questions

A note from Stephen & Penny...

“This is just the way it is,” is something that we’d often find ourselves thinking. But Penny & I were really worried about the state of the planet. Things were starting to look pretty grim 25 years ago, and we had a feeling they were only going to get worse as time went on.

We both realized that we couldn’t sit back and do nothing. We couldn’t sit back and watch the planet degrade more quickly than we could restore it.

So we jumped off the cliff and landed right smack in the middle of the permaculture movement and never looked back. We hope you’ll take the jump with us.

When developing Ecoversity,
we asked ourselves to look through a particular lens.


This lens is one of ecological regeneration, diversity, radical inclusivity, and future-forward healing. This means we create a teaching space that fosters safety, courage, and collective liberation. We support all participants by regeneratively embracing edges of identity and social location. In this way, we nurture dialogue and education that is polycultural, not monocultural. 

This curriculum is built upon the knowledge of many peoples world-wide. From indigenous cultures to western academics, Permaculture is an amalgamation of many hands at work and hearts on the earth.  

We always welcome feedback, and we thank all wisdom keepers before, now, and in the future for sharing knowledge.
