This multilayered event has already become an incredibly fruitful way to activate energies coming from our community in a structured setting, keeping our typical blend of informal conversations and competence shared with passion and a down-to-earth approach.
Part talk, part action group, part tasting: each meeting will be structured according to permaculture principles, and also specifically feature one or more permaculture topics and actionable tasks during the night.
• FREE DONATION, NO FIXED COSTS!
• BUYING ITEMS ON THE SHELVES COUNTS AS A DONATION.
• EVENT OPEN TO ODDKIN MEMBERS AND FIRST-TIMERS.
If you're not a member yet, but you heard about this weird little project and want to know if it's for you, this is the perfect test. If you want to be part of the active think tanks and follow the development of ongoing projects, you need to become an active member.
Our second conceptual compost pile will be made of the following layers:
TALKABLES
• Permaculture principles of the night: "Obtain a Yield" (from David Holmgren's more recent texts on permaculture) and "The problem IS the solution" (the most Bill Mollison of all Bill Mollison's principles: seemingly weird and nonsensical, but in truth extremely insightful and pragmatic).
• How does a Permaculture Business look like? An inside peak in Oddkin's numbers, costs, margins, starting from that panel hilariously hanging on the wall, apparently stating that any coffee drink costs 1€ for Oddkin members (yes, double espresso, flat white, etc. included). Are we crazy? Are we dumb? Are we maybe a bit of both, but also surprisingly pragmatic and sound in our approach to profit? Could the problem be, actually, the solution? ..
ACTIONABLES
...(segue) it could! The formula holds and the Gods of KPI's smile at us. We just need to launch the most grassroots, pesky, effective subscription campaign ever and reach our lofty goals before the end of the year, so that we can keep our inner demons (all of which have been long inducted into the Impostor Syndrome Hall Of Shame) at bay and our little cute nest on Danziger safe.
• We have a couple of slots for new events. Any idea you wish to see realized? Any project of yours that seems to be the perfect fit for our common nest? Let's do it!
EDIBLES
• We'll celebrate the INCREDIBLE achievements of HC! Pile #1 by literally eating them: I'm talking about the new veggies and fruit options, gloriously made a reality in just a few days thanks to the input of our first Think Tank. Once again, paired with some sourdough from our friends at Brede - which will also be available for sale at the shop starting this week, and can be pre-ordered online!
• Another instantly-established tradition: we’ll open a bottle and try it together. Which one? Whatever calls us to be uncorked, consensually.
FINISHING TOUCHES
As always, questions, feedback on subscriptions, formula, webshop, pre-orders. Do you see an actionable task/feature we could implement to make our community experience more wonderful? Let us know and we’ll get to work to make it happen.
