Session 3 Principles: Integrate Rather Than Segregate: In every aspect of nature, the connections between things are as important as the things themselves. Permaculture strongly emphasizes building mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationships over predatory and competitive ones. How can we place elements, not in isolation but in such a way that each serves the needs of the other? Apply Self-Regulation and Accept Feedback: While self-maintaining and self-regulating systems are ideal, all systems can have imbalances resulting in negative feedback. Rather than viewing that feedback as bad, we can accept it as an opportunity for improvement. How can we move past our societal call to want it all, to have it all, and have it now with no consequences. Can we change systems that aren’t working effectively for all? Session 1 covered Use Small and Slow Solutions and Creatively Use and Respond to Change Session 2 covered Observe and Interact and Use Edges and Value the Marginal
