From a monoculture field, to Permaculture abundance and ultimately Goddess Permaculture Eden, all planted and tended by one woman over 13 years in Ireland...Curious...

Is there anyone else out there in Ireland who is practising Permaculture without woofers/helpers on more than 1 acre? Pics/videos? No, that is not weed at 23... and read on for more info...

To see what it looked like in the beginning, drop by the website below...or even read the book!

Image above: A family of apes spends some moments with a man. Still frame from 2011 video below.

Once and a while I just screw around on YouTube and find something that is for me compelling. By that I don't mean such categories as "Supertanker Disasters" of "World's Biggest Tsunamis"... although I have seen a share of those.

What I did find was friendly contact between wild gorillas and humans. It's not all poaching and hunting and eating them. It seems that a human can have a relationship with our cousins if we are willing to submit to their will.

Below are two examples:


Video above: December 2010 - Man reunites with gorilla he has not seen for five years. From (https://youtu.be/nEUlUfhQbNw).


Video above: July 2015 - a gorilla remembers a girl he had not seen for 12 years. From (https://youtu.be/Xarwk2d5Jm8).
