Teachers manual to facilitating an earth oven course 1Simha Bode
Â
Facilitating a hands-on earth oven course is a beautiful way to connect people and create community. I hope this manual will help you with all of the logistics of running your own successful oven course. The first section of this book is about the cultural context of ovens and the role that teaching an oven workshop has in creating community. The second section is the pre-course logistics of setting up an oven course. The third section is a detailed technical guide to teaching an oven course using a specific oven design as a guide. The fourth section has details on building specifics. The fifth section covers the use of an earth oven, building oven tools and the basics of sourdough.

Effective communication is an essential component in the mix of strategies used to effect behavior change in regard to healthy eating. But are nutrition educators using all the behavior change tools? Are we really communicating effectively? Is our communication passionate enough and inspired enough to be heard? How do we increase the likelihood of improving healthy nutrition behaviors? With so many voices and choices out there in so many mediums (i.e. social media, grocery and food packaging advertising, television commercials, radio, etc) we have constant competition. This topic is sure to get nutrition educators thinking about how they currently communicate and to consider new avenues and strategies for their programs.

Design for Social Innovation: Redesigning at the Intersection of Business, Co...Sustainable Brands
Â
A new field of practice is emerging at the intersection of design, management, complex systems theory, facilitation, and social change. This practice, sometimes called Design for Social Innovation, is giving birth to approaches for creating with social complexity from the inside. It offers "managing emergence" as a complement to traditional management. And it treats culture as a working material rather than a mysterious and difficult barrier to change. This workshop will provide a survey of Design for Social Innovation: key approaches and practices, case studies, and opportunities they present to the Sustainable Brands community.

Talk given at UXNZ 2016, exploring key "edges" of practice we are exploring in co-design in Aotearoa. With thanks to all the community members and practitioner who shared their experiences in this talk.
Talk Abstract:
Across Aotearoa (New Zealand), co-design is rapidly being adopted in public and community contexts to tackle complex national issues and policies such as youth employment; smoking cessation; community health and wellbeing; homelessness
and family violence.
Many of these are large-scale, complex social change innovations and experiments that bring together new groups of people, which means working together in new ways. The opportunity to scale co-design to help address systemic national social challenges is both awesome and terrifying. This talk highlights some of the key trends, changes, opportunities and challenges emerging in co-design for social innovation and social outcomes in Aotearoa.
In October of 2011, KAB held a recycling behavior change symposium with academics and practitioners. This is an overview for many of the presentations.

P5-12
Since what we
consider real is
socially
constructed,
what makes
people agree it
is real.
For example:
Before we
know tree is
tree. What
makes people
believe it is
tree?
Observation Gergen argues the most important means
of reality maintenance is conversation. It
is through conversation that we create
social common sense, which is also what
makes our world today. For example, if we
do not agree on trees as trees, then, there
will be no trees.
Social Origins of Good and Real:
⢠The ways in which we understand the
world is not required by âwhat there is.â
⢠The ways in which we describe and
explain the world are the outcomes of
relationship.
⢠Constructions gain their significance
from social utility.
⢠Values are created and sustained within
forms of life (including science).
If everything we
consider real is
socially
constructed, then
nothing is real
unless people
agree that it is.
Social
Convention : are
those arbitrary rules
and norms
governing the
countless behaviors
all of us engage in
every day without
necessarily thinking
about them, from
shaking hands when

1. I.S. Permaculture Handout
!
Group Process
!The following is adapted from Judith Plantâs book Healing the Wounds, the
Promise of Ecofeminism
!
Ask: !â˘
Is the intelligence, sensitivity, and contribution of each person respected?
⢠Am I taking up more time than others? Do I interrupt others?
⢠Do I censor (find fault with) myself?
⢠Is information available to everyone?
⢠Are difference minimized?
⢠Is there a generosity of spirit?
⢠Is care for one another what is being valued?
Group Guidelines: !â˘
Honor Confidentiality
⢠Give unconditional respect to self and others
⢠You control your level of disclosure, you have the right to pass
⢠Create space for everyone to participate
⢠Use âIâ statements, speak form your own experience
⢠One person talks at a time
⢠Agree to disagree. Use dialogue not debate. Everyone perspective has validity.
⢠No zaps, put downs, or hostile analysis.
⢠It is OK to express emotion. (and great to understand emotions!)
⢠Take responsibility for your own learning, ask for what you need.
⢠Whatever is said in the group can not be used against you when you leave.
!
Why become a designer? Being a designer of your own situation is a powerful
tool for liberation. It changes you from being a servant/victim of a circumstance to
being a victor. By taking responsibility we increase our ability to respond in ways
that are beneficial to ourselves and our environment.
!
!
The pessimist complains abut the wind;
the optimist hopes it will change;
the realist adjusts the sails.
!
-William George Ward

2. !
What is Permaculture? Permaculture is an ethically based design science that
seeks to provide for human needs while increasing ecosystem health.
Permaculture imitates patterns in Nature to design a resilient and regenerative
society both ecologically and socially.
!
Bill Mollison and David Holmgren synergized complex and simple methodologies/
philosophies from generations of global traditions and natural gardeners.
!
Permaculture Design is a co-creative evolution, one where we comprehend how
ecological systems relate, how we relate and interact with ecological systems,
how we interact with one another, and even how we relate to ourselves. - Kay
Cafasso
Design system that deals with sustainable land-use and sustainable Living - How
we provide and how we use (consume) resources. Permaculture Came out of the
counter-culture - Was taking a radical Environmental Design course in Australia -
He saw an intersection between the design process of Landscape architecture
!
Permaculture Ethics
adapted from !Dave Jackeâs Earth Care - Protecting the needs for all life and ecosystems to continue.
Stopping the further disturbance of Earthâs ecosystems; forests, rivers,
mountains, wetlands etc. Regenerating and conserving compromised
ecosystems and communities. Creating refuges for endangered ecosystems and
species. Establishing systems to provide for human needs while respecting
natural communities and ecosystems.
!People Care - Protecting peopleâs access to the essential resources they need
for a healthy happy life. resources which ensure healthy physical and emotional
bodies through good diet, exercise, healthy boundary setting, creative self
expression, meaningful work, community support. Another level to this ethic is
Right livelihood, Self Care.
!Resource Share - This Ethic makes the first two possible. By governing our
needs and yields we create a surplus just as nature does. This surplus gets
reinvested for future generations, our local communities, and as inputs back into
the systems we are taking from.
!
The three Permaculture Ethics are a recognition of the interconnectedness of our
planetâs systems.
3. !
Permaculture Principles
!
1. Observe and interact - Before we can properly see things as they are we
need to get rid of our preconceived ideas and expectations. Observing by
entering âthe witnessâ (objective) mindset is a skill which takes practice. After this
initial process of objective observation we can observe through inquiry and
assessment. Through interaction we create feedback loops gaining a diverse
range of information.
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠Find diverse angles of perspectives to observe the same object. How did your
angle change your observations? What did you observe?
⢠Choose a sitting spot and make a daily visit to sit quietly and observe, keep a
journal of your observations.
!
2. Catch and store energy - By developing systems that collect resources
when they are abundant, we can use them in times of need. Energy comes
in surges and cycles our designs should maximize our systems ability to
catch it while its abundant and store it while its spars.
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠List some ways that humans catch and store energy (be creative)? Which do
you feel are healthy and which are not? Why?
⢠Make an energy map of a typical day, where/when you get energy, How/when
you store it, and why/when you use it (also think it terms of outside of your
body). !
3. Obtain a yield - âYou canât work on an empty stomach.â Its priority to provide
for our immediate needs (Food, water and shelter) before making our deeper
investment of longterm systems for trans-generational yields, like food forests.
Other types of yields are also important to consider - information, lessons
learned, experience, the health benefits, being outdoors and fun. The yield of any
system is hypothetically infinite, our creativity is the limiting factor. !
Journal entry ideas:
⢠Name as many of yesterdays âyieldsâ as you can. How do you value them?
⢠List three ways humans obtain yields unsustainably. Now list as many
alternatives sustainable/regenerative ways to obtain the same function of that
yield as you can.
!
4. 4. Apply Self-regulation and accept feedback - "We reap what we sowâ We
need to discourage inappropriate activity to ensure that systems can continue to
function well. A system that is functioning well means that it is fulfilling most of its
own needs, this reduces the amount of work/maintenance and external inputs
needed. Permaculture Ethics are an example of a design towards a self-regulating
system.
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠Imagine what values, relationships, rules, and laws your local community will
need to create in order to be sustained on the local resources. What would this
community look like?
⢠Map or write about any personal systems you have adopted to help you
regulate your life. What feedback did you accept in order to make this system?
!
5. Use and value renewable resources and service - Make the best use of
natureâs abundance to reduce our consumptive behavior and dependence on
non-renewable resources. Our value systems must change from linear
hierarchies to cyclical synergies.
!
Examples of a change in the perspective of values -
Power is positive as a means to get Fulfillment but detrimental as an end in its
self. Profit is a healthy means to obtain Nourishment and not an end in its self,
and Product is a effective means to foster relationships and not an end in its self. !
Journal entry ideas:
⢠What innovative ways have you found (or can think of) to reuse things that
people typically through away?
⢠How can you make better use of renewable/regenerative resources in your life?
write about it. How can you be more ingenious, resourceful, thrifty, creative.
!!
6. Produce no waste - âOne mans trash is anotherâs treasureâ every waste is
really just another yield and another resource. âwaste not, want notâ reminds us
that itâs easy to be wasteful in times of abundance, but this waste can be a cause
of hardship later. âWhatever we take we must returnâ. Consider embodied energy,
life cycle costs, social impacts, derivatives, recycling or disposal of your tools and
resources.
!
Journal entry ideas: !â˘
Name one waste you produce that you can find a new value for. What next
steps do you need to take to make this a reality?
⢠In what way have you observed this principle being used at I.S.?
!
5. !!
Activist actions for later
⢠Map a waste stream of a business and share alternative options with them
document it.
⢠Identify waist streams in your local municipality and see where/how it could
become a resource !
7. Design from Patterns to Detail - The proverb âyou canât see the forest for the
treesâ reminds us that the closer we get to something, the harder it is to see the
big picture. By observing the patterns that exist before our design is started, our
design will be informed by the greater context. With this understanding of context
our systems will be adapted and integrated with the local ecology. !
Journal entry ideas:
⢠When you arrived at I.S. what patterns did you observe? What was you first
impression of this? Has your vision of it changed? How?
⢠In what way could you imagine this principle being useful on a social design?
!
8. Integrate rather than segregate - By putting the right things in the right place,
relationships develop between them and they support each other. âThe whole is
greater than the sum of its partsâ It is the emergent qualities of diverse systems
which make them resilient and abundant. The solution is within the problem.
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠Where do you see this principle in use around you (here or elsewhere)? - This
can also be a mindmap of elements and their relationships
⢠See if you can find a way to actualize this principle and use it today. Journal
about how you found this easy or challenging and why.
!
9. Use small and slow solutions - Prototyping - Small failures are easier to
correct/tweak than large ones âthe bigger they are the harder they fallâ. Small
scale systems are more likely to fulfill and adapt to local needs. This allows
feedback loops to inform your design.
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠Name one issue we are facing in the world today (social or ecological) and a
way we could address it with this principle. Would this be more effective than
big and fast? Why?
⢠Is this principle counter intuitive to you? Why or why not?
!
10. Use and value diversity - Every function should be supported by many
elements (redundancy) and every element should serve many functions
6. (stacking). âdonât put all your eggs in one basketâ reminds us that diversity is
resiliency. See also Understanding systems in the next section.
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠Where do you see this principle functioning on this farm or elsewhere? Did you
notice it before being introduced to this principle?
⢠Pick one element at I.S. farm and do a niche analysis for it. How many
functions does it have? Do you see any other elements supporting the same
functions as it?
!
11. Use edge and value the marginal - The overlap and interface of where two
or more systems meet is the most diverse and abundant place. By increasing
edge you increase diversity. These dynamic evolutionary zones are the breeding
ground for creativity and adaptability. "In nature, there are no rigid borders, the
edge is more a diffuse region of exchange⌠At the edge of two ecosystems,
species from both systems as well as special species adapted to the conditions
of the edge are found." (Tippett 1993).
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠Explore an edge in nature and journal about your observations.
⢠Identify your own edges. Where do your reluctances overlap your goals? These
are edges to explore. What are some next steps to help you start this
exploration?
!
12. Creatively use and respond to change - "Vision is not seeing things as
they are, but as they will beâ - There are changes we can not predict, many of
which may seem beyond our control. Yet, how we react and think about them as
individuals, groups, organizations and networks, is under our control (act rather
than react). The changes such as succession is predictable and can be planned/
designed for. Make the least change for the greatest effect. Find the âleverage
pointsâ in the system and intervene there, where the least work accomplishes the
most change.
!
Journal entry ideas:
⢠When have you have chosen to act rather than react to change? How do you
think it affected the outcome? When have you chosen to react to a change in
your life and how did it affected the outcomes?
!
Tools and exercises
⢠The Cynefin model is a design tool that is helpful to identify/categorize what
type of system context you are designing in and what mode of thought to use.
⢠Backcasting is a writing exercise where you write as if your longterm goals
have been realized and you are looking back on your path
7. !â˘
Self Audit Exercise
!

Beyond Sustainability
!â˘
List your; needs, wants, addictions, abilities, liabilities, responsibilities
⢠Consider all the influences, connections and relationships of these
⢠Map all the materials, energy flows and personal movement patterns
⢠Take responsibility with-out guilt or blame, look for the easiest opportunities for
reducing dependance, minimizing harm and improving quality of life
⢠Make small changes and review audit regularly
!
This can also be made as a mind-map with yourself in the middle.

8. Understanding Systems
!
âDesign is a connection between things. It is not water, or a chicken or the tree.
It is how the water, the chicken and the tree are connected. It's the opposite of
what we are taught in school. Education takes everything and pulls it apart and
makes no connections at all. PermaCulture makes the connection... because as
soon as you have the connection you can feed the chicken from the tree.â !
Diversity is related to stability. It is not, however, the number of diverse elements
you can pack into a system, but rather the number of useful connections you can
make between these elements.
- Bill Mollison
The Second Law of Thermodynamics - Law of Increased Entropy - Energy
decreases over time by changing from usable energy to unusable (we loose
access to it). To decrease the rate of entropy we create living-systems that mimic
those of nature which capture, store cycle and recycle elements and resources.
âEntropy's worse enemy is life itself" (Gleick and Porter, 1991: 34)

!
Pareto principle (also known as the 80â20 rule) - The Pareto Principle helps us
see that the majority of results come from a minority of inputs. It states that,
roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Italian economist
Vilfredo Pareto identified, that 80% of the wealth is held by 20% of the
population.

Site Assessment fundamentals of Permaculture
Evaluate the supporting capability of the land for human inhabitants; for native
and food producing plants; for domestic and native animals. Summarize its
human use to date. Has the land been used in a manner which is beneficial to
both nature and humans; or has its use by humans been at the expense of
nature?
OPPORTUNITIES & CONSTRAINTS Identify site potential and restrictions by
making a list for each.
Evaluate the existing/potential house/building site (is it practical?)
Circulation (is it efficient?)
Existing/potential water harvesting (roof collection, swales, gravity-fed
irrigation ponds, dams, drinking water)
Existing/potential microclimates (abundant rainfall/, droughts, sun/shade, wind
breaks)
Existing/potential for passive solar heat gain (southern exposure, water
reflection, sun traps, thermal mass)
Existing/potential wind energy, hydro power, solar gain (off-grid electric
power, water pumping/heating, heat)
Wind protection (existing/potential wind breaks, slopes)
Waste/nutrient recycling (composting toilets, greywater, artificial wetland...)
Garbage (reduction, reuse, recycling, compost, mulch)
12. Food production (gardening, orchards, forest gardening, edible landscape, cash
crops, mini-farming, greenhouse, wild edible/medicinal plants, poultry or other
livestock)
Recovery/rehabilitation/preservation (wilderness, soils, historic buildings)
Soils (potential for cultivation, construction, building materials)
Vegetation (potential wind breaks, wild/domestic animal forage, conservation
areas, medicinal or edible wild plants, woodlot for firewood or timber)
Existing Edges (wild-life habitat, food production, sun trap/wind protection)
Natural building materials (rocks, earth, fiber, timber, bamboo, etc.)
Craft/clothing materials (basket willows/rushes, sheepâs wool, etc.)
Timber/Fire Wood Harvesting
Zones (Rural)
Zone 0 - The house. âWe need to get our house in order, our garden in order, our
place of living
so that it supports usâ (Bill Mollison)
Zone 1 - Frequent visits and observation, Close to buildings, most intensive and
accessable. Visit multiple times a day
- seedling, small animals, culinary herbsComponents needing continual
observation, frequent visits, work input, complex techniques, such as home
garden. High productivity and net import of soil fertility from rest of landscape.
Zone 2 - Visit once a day Less intensively managed components like heavily
mulched orchards, domestic animals whose sheds adjoin Zone 1. Main crop
veggies that require more space than available in zone 1. âless intensive, trellis,
small pond, hedge, home orchard, forage for livestock
Zone 3 - Less intensive visit a few times a week.
âFarmâ zone, grain and fodder, animal self-forage systems, windbreaks, hardy
trees and native species. âcommercial crops, green manure
Zone 4 - Minimally Managed Zone
Managed for wild gathering, forest and fuel needs of the household, pasture or
range, planted to hardy, unpruned or volunteer trees, some introduced animals. â
border forest wilderness- managed for wild gathering, forest and fuel needs,
pasture
Zone 5 - Wilderness, or land where the interests of wild plants and animals take
top priority, and yields for human use only taken when this benefits wild species. -
This is where we learn the rules we try to apply elsewhere!!!
