Connecting Permaculture & Transition. Interview with Karen Schulkin, The San Francisco Seed Library by Willi Paul, PlanetShifter.com Magazine

http://planetshifter.com/node/2021

- excerpt -

“I love the idea of people coming to the library and choosing seeds (that is always exciting)
and the care they take in selection, planting and growing and then the collecting seeds to
bring back. The whole process is so basic and such a wholesome way to connect with
our neighbors and have something in common and something to share with the community.
It just feels really good.” KS

sound symbols, archetypes & the power of myth: an alchemic journey with Nature begins
By Willi Paul, openmythsource.com

http://wp.me/p14SHM-DU

- excerpt -

If we can get the power of myth from storytellers and the printed page, then why not from soundscapes?

- how to interpret an integrated set of sound symbols as a myth? – sound symbols or textures connected to memories and new feelings, please
- not like songs – like meditations
- what is a mythic experience?
- requires a new language, code, key
- silence is a sound symbol
