Editor's GreetingSince our first promotional issue, your response has been nothing short of positive and generous. Thank you for your support, and keep on subscribing!! This newsletter is for the collective Permaculture community, and it is only through your support and participation that it thrives. We want to reach all the like minded individuals and companies through this newsletter, and therefore entreat you to send us the names and addresses of those people you most want to know about the events that you are having, the articles that you are writing etc. Our goal is to have a concentrated Permaculture mailing list, not a list of vaguely associated individuals. Help us get it out there!!!!
It seems that Guild is a beguiling word in permaculture, for it expresses a natural design which we permies are trying to understand and emulate so sincerely. Guilds in nature are those arrangements which mutually benefit and encourage, such as the typical California plant guild of Oaks, Madrones and Bay Laurels. There were guilds of craftsmen and merchants which were the heart of medieval commerce. The term guild evokes this medieval sense of alliance and cooperation, a romantic perspective which I enjoy maintaining. The Guild can't really refer to any natural designs for human elements, but it can aspire to encourage guilds which have worked throughout history for organizing and supporting like-minded people.
