Robyn enjoys an international reputation as a leading permaculture designer and educator, she is also a musician, songwriter and artist and has a passionate interest in cultural ecology - the relationships between culture and environment. Robyn operates Djanbung Gardens, permaculture education and cultural centre based in Nimbin and is the founding director of Permaculture International Ltd.
Sustainable culture is at the
heart of permaculture - more than a gardening and landuse system it embraces
all aspects of human culture within the context of sustainability. When we
look at sustainable traditional and pre-industrial societies we find excellent
examples of integrated cultures where creative cultural expression arises
largely from the relationship of people with their environment and each other,
where the arts are primarily vehicles of communication of information about
survival and nature and for maintaining social cohesion. Science alone will
not bring about the changes required for the paradigm shift into a sustainable
society, we need to change the hearts and minds of people and empower them
with practical information in a readily digestible form - the most effective
way to achieve this is through our creative media and arts.
