She holds an MS in Eco-Social Regeneration, has 3 diplomas in Permaculture Design, and has been studying the Hermetic Tradition of alchemy and herbal medicine making all over the world.She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with insights including:That there’s a growing interest in permaculture and expanding ecological literacy.That permaculture “is a solution-based design system… rooted in observing natural ecosystems and how we can design our human settlements to have the same level of stability and resiliency.”That conventional civil engineering is turning to permaculture solutions now.That studying permaculture will help decision-makers to understand community economics and boost local resilience. That a deconstructionist involves looking at a problem backwards, “to arrive at the systemic core cause and not just treating the symptoms.”That a focus on regeneration is needed, not just sustainability. “We have to start giving back more than what we take, because we've been working on a deficit.”Connect with Penny Livingston-StarkWebsite: pennylivingston.com Website: regenerativedesign.org Facebook: facebook.com/RDIpermacultureInstagram: instagram.com/penny_livingstonFollow WCPGR on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhatCouldPossiblyGoRightPodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/buildresilienceInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildresilienceLearn more: https://bit.ly/wcpgr-resSupport the show (https://www.resilience.org/what-could-possibly-go-right-podcast-vicki-robin/supportthepodcast/)
