Learn
|
"Learn" is an eLearning platform hosted by CoLab members. It has been built with the need and ethics of permaculture teachers in mind. You can create your own course and host it on Learn. You can add written content, pictures, audio, videos, quizzes, assignments, and more.
You can receive help from the Learn team to create your course. By hosting your course on the Learn platform, you get web hosting, onboarding and tech support, course maintenance, financial admin, and promotion of your course on a variety of networks.
Learn hosts courses that are aligned with permaculture ethics; namely; Earth care, people care, and fair share. Whether you are starting out and wanting to test your course for a new audience, or you are an experienced teacher wanting to migrate your course over to a platform aligned with permaculture ethics and needs.

Obituary
|
Liora Adler has passed away after 77 trips around our sun. As the Co-founder and President of Gaia U International, Co-founder of Huehuecoyotl Ecovillage in Tepoztlan, Mexico and the mama of the long running Caravana Arcoiris por la Paz, Liora will be remembered as a potent actionist, artist, movement builder, dancer, mother, network weaver, partner, mentor and teacher of ecosocial un/learning ideas to people from all over the world.
Liora worked from the deep insights gained through her own experiences as a life-long ecosocial practitioner. As a spirited and zestful master-transitioneer herself she encouraged us all to find our agency, become pirates and get going on collectively transitioning our societies into a new age of just and joyful ecological living.
Today we raise a prayer to rise with her as she makes the transition from this life into the heart of the universe. Our prayers and deepest condolences are with her partner, Andrew Langford, and the family she leaves behind.
Liora Adler, may she rest in peace, in power, in love, in dance and synchronicity with the earth and the stars.

Community Weaving
|
How can we weave healthy communities? That’s the question at the heart of the newly launched Community Weaving Framework. It is hoped that this framework will provide shared language for community weavers, network builders and anyone bringing people together around a shared purpose. May it provide a spark for us to (re)learn what it takes to weave healthy communities and strengthen the relational webs across our shared home Earth.
|
The framework has 5 elements that strengthen the health of a community:
|
- The Fire - The possibility that brings us together.
- The Web - The relationships that hold us together.
- The Rhythm - The rituals that connect us.
- The Circles - The roles we can play.
- The Spiral - Our individual and collective journeys.

We seek to promote, share and support diversity and decolonization projects, organisations and shared knowledge around the world that are aligned with our vision of a socially just world where we live in harmony with nature.
