Nov Permie Guild Potluck Mtg w Rhamis Kent - Islam

"Operationalizing a Good Intention: Permaculture Design at the Zaytuna College Center for Ethical Living & Learning" is the topic for your East Bay Permaculture Guild’s November potluck and presentation/discussion! 🪱💚🌀 “Permaculture design is a system of assembling conceptual, material, and strategic components in a pattern which functions to benefit life in all its forms” - Bill Mollison How does one make good on claims made of having good intentions? How can this be brought to bear in addressing the challenges of not only our time, but those that have plagued us throughout human history? Rhamis Kent, Scholar-In-Residence at the Zaytuna College Center for Ethical Living & Learning, will address these topics (and others) though a discussion centered on his article "Saving Truth and Beauty: The Destruction of Nature and the Islamic Solution"* and an examination of the design principles and ethics rooted in permaculture design. *NOTE: The article's original title is "The Corruption of Truth & Beauty: Human Reckoning in Nature's Destruction" Links: https://zaytuna.edu/zcell https://zaytuna.edu/faculty-details/Rhamis-Kent https://yaqeeninstitute.org/read/paper/saving-truth-and-beauty-the-destruction-of-nature-and-the-islamic-solution Rhamis Kent has co-created a Permaculture program at Zaytuna College in Berkeley.
