Update September 2008
I've been looking for a new website to transfer Permies Portal to. If any one out there know of a good site, preferably a free site, that is easy for all to use please notify me.
I'm looking for a format that is uncomplicated and all Permies can use, so that if anyone wants to make additions to the site such as articles or adding events or Diarys for example David Neavyn had a Community Garden Diary here on Permies Portal, it has to be a site that is easily edited.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Update April 2008
Every journey starts with little steps and when I started on this path caring for Mother Earth, not many people were interested in the environment beyond what they could get out of it. Now people have begun to realise that keeping up with the Jones is not the only way forward and it won't make you happy.
I'd love to see even more people learn to live in harmony with the earth and each other and learn from nature along the way. We can create a stronger sense of community using meitheals (an old irish word for working together) where a community pulls together to help each other in the building of houses and working on the land etc.
I've been fortunate to attend college with a diverse bunch of people from all over this beautiful planet. Students have always come from far and wide to participate in this inspiring course that was originally set up by Rob Hopkins.
This site is dedicated to not just Rob Hopkins and all the past present and future students of kinsale Permaculture /Sustainability course but also to all those in the environmental sector in Ireland and beyond. Permies Rock
We're part of a movement of a new generation of Permaculturists. Like I said before some of us might have to create our own employment opportunities and hopefully we can keep in touch with each other and notify every one with updates here on Permaculture activities in our own localities and Ireland and all over the world. This is an exciting time for all of us. All over the world we are starting to see a change in attitude. People are becoming more aware of the environment and they are starting to wake up. There's a growing awareness that we need to respect the planet. We can make a difference by just showing people that we can live more sustainably,we can have an important role to play in the years to come.
Keep In Touch
Ok so I figure if any of us hear of an event or a workshop or community events
such as the examples below
- , Sustain Festival in Bantry
- Someone needs help building a cob house
- Someone is erecting a wind generator
- Events within Cork Environmental Forum and Transition Town Kinsale
- Any other ideas anyone ? ...feedback appreciated
Add your events to the events page

This way we give each other a heads up on this site,it means we can all keep informed on activities in our local community and the broader community . So feel free to join and add what ever articles, photos or events to this site as you see fit.
Once a Permie always a Permie

We'd love for you all to keep in touch and for you to share what adventures or challenges life has thrown your way since you left the course. Let's share our experiences in order to enrich all of our experiences of bringing Permaculture to the world.
