0:34.3	and everything we do at OneCommion.com. So today on the show I speak with Warren Brush
0:41.0	about permaculture. Warren has spent the last 25 years as a permaculture designer and teacher.
0:47.5	He is the co-founder and a steward of Quail Springs, a permaculture oasis in the high
0:53.1	desert of Maricopa, California, dedicated
0:55.7	to regenerative farming, earthen building, watershed stewardship, and education.

1:06.7	Africa.
1:07.7	He is also a prolific raconteur and has amassed a vast portfolio of stories from his many
1:13.6	travels. So today on the show, Warren and I discuss permaculture as a philosophy and design system.
1:19.9	We break down its primary foundational principles. We contrast and compare systems that are
1:25.2	sustainable and unsustainable. We explore permaculture and its relationship to entropy.
1:31.0	We discuss function stacking, the primacy of soil and hydrology, the importance of patience,
1:37.4	and the magic that happens at the edges of things.

1:51.9	class with Warren titled The Ancient Roots of Regenerative Agriculture. You can sign up for
1:58.0	this masterclass for absolutely free at Onecommun.com slash roots.
2:03.4	So I hope you enjoy my conversation with Warren Brush.
