On Wednesday 28 May, Charlie Brennan will take us on a journey through 40 years of putting permaculture into practice, from landscaping the Northern Beaches in the 80s to running an international organic farm and designing a game that brings permaculture principles to life.

After a brief presentation tracing the milestones of his work and travels, we will get hands-on with a live session of the Adapt Design Game, an interactive tool Charlie co-created to help people design the world they want to live in.

There will be time for Q&A and discussion, and copies of Adapt will be available to purchase on the night. Come ready to play, connect and be inspired.
