Short Bio

In 2019, Naima Ritter, the co-founder of Conscious Coliving, spent some time in a Permaculture farm of “Deep Ecology of Wellness” that was hosted by Yoga Trade. Going through the experiences there, she devised certain potential strategies that could introduce the idea of permaculture in coliving communities. First, we shall understand what permaculture is. What is Permaculture? Permaculture is the development of ecosystems that are self-sufficient and sustainable. In other words, the ecosystems (farms or forests) have all the necessary herbs or food products that one may need, so an individual or a community would not need to depend on external sources. Moreover, with such a system, there would be no long-term financial or environmental losses that could potentially end the permaculture. According to Naima Ritter, permaculture covers three main aspects: Ethical Framework Comprehension of the workings of nature Smart Design Approaches Applying Permaculture in Coliving Communities This is a concept that has absorbed Naima Ritter for quite a while. She aims to collaborate with the body of Conscious Coliving to introduce the system and concept of permaculture within the coliving communities. Because, according to her teacher at the camp, social permaculture is the art of designing beneficial relationships. What will permaculture do for the community? Through the channel of Conscious Coliving, using different design strategies, innovative and creative ideas regarding the permaculture can be applied in coliving communities. Permaculture will help create an environment that will bring the people closer together, and connect them with nature. This would come about by the chief concept of “Asset Mapping”. What is Asset Mapping? Our major focus should on self and community wellbeing. To promote this concept and attain it, and planned, strategic, and collective effort is required by all members of the community. If the design methodologies of Conscious Coliving can be used to encourage people to aim for it, we can have an eventual spread of wellbeing within the community. In essence, all people are beneficial as they all come with assets, their behaviours, social status, their domain of expertise. Everyone’s collective efforts can be utilized to make a community that is integrated with itself, with each other, and nature. They have all attained what we call conscious coliving. Herbal Healing Although modern medication is extremely effective and beneficial, herbal healing has its good points too. You can get easier and more sustainable access to herbs in permaculture, and use them as your medication. Such a medication while solving your medical problems also provides you with a stronger and long-living immunity to the problems. Final Thoughts At this point, permaculture may not be a far-fetched concept. Right now, Conscious Coliving’s focus is mainly at designing creative, innovative, and economically and environmentally sustainable strategies, and it seems like that permaculture fulfils all those needs by itself. Not only will the greenery help the environment, but people can also get all their essentials from the permaculture, and the environment will naturally bring the people closer together.
