PermaSearch Relocalization Engine launched

PermaSearch is a search engine that allows you to submit and search for local permaculture resources. Share and find everything that's needed for permaculture design and implementation including designers, instructors, courses, workshops, plant stock, livestock, mulch, manure, compost, building materials, tools, equipment, and more. GMI has developed this web tool to support permaculture designers, instructors, site-owners, etc. in their efforts to source system elements and each other within on a user defined mile radius of their zip code. The search results can be sorted by distance, price, and other parameters. As we continue to discover more resources we'll be uploading them to the database and encourage any and everyone to help populate the database with their favorite local resources!

GMI Returns to Long Beach


The Gaian Mind Institute is now back in Long Beach with a focus on partnership building with the Long Beach Permaculture Guild and the Long Beach Time Exchange. Several sites are in development, some of which are experimenting with merging the time banking phenomenon with the traditional permaculture potluck workshop/party model for getting the heavy lifting, face-to-face social networking, and learning to take place out in the community. We gather weekly on Sundays and welcome folks to come help and learn. For those who live and/or work in the Long Beach, CA area. You can apply to join the Long Beach Time Exchange and earn "time-dollars" for your volunteer work! Please contact us for more info.
