Over 2021 and 2022, we had a series of conversations with members of our community who were participating in various forms of earth care. Our aim was to begin cultivating a culture where people understand that they are part of nature and vice versa. This foundational shift in paradigm can only occur by seeing and understanding the world from diverse perspectives and practices.
We spoke to a wide variety of people from our partners to fellow permaculture designers, musicians, foodies with indigenous, regional, and local food knowledge, artists, social and sustainable entrepreneurs right down to the aunty (and uncle) next door.
Many of these conversations were captured with the support of our partners at the Arts House Limited at the Goodman Arts Centre, where the Goodman Community Farm is located, hence the name Friends of Goodman Garden or in Malay - Kawan Kebun Goodman.
We hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we did. It has inspired us to venture into regenerative living and practices in South East Asia. Tune in for more of those conversations in the near future.
