Hi everyone!

I posted on this subreddit before when I first launched Mycelium. I'm ecstatic to say that it's grown into a platform blooming with permaculture resources from a diverse range of perspectives, contributed by our partners on the ground. One of those partners is the Bayanihan Collective, who is hosting this event and has ties to indigenous communities here in the Philippines - the Aetas, Lumad, Remontado Dumagat, among others.

This Friday, May 23 at 8:00 PM PHT, the Bayanihan Collective and Mycelium are hosting a free online talk on seed sovereignty.

The speaker, Lee Hizola, has spent years working with grassroots seed networks across Southeast and South Asia, including indigenous communities in conflict zones where seed saving is seen as an act of resistance. She's also brought that work to UN-level policy spaces advocating for farmer rights and seed commons. Lee will be going over the science of seeds as well as their cultural memory (the idea that seeds carry the knowledge and identity of the people who've grown them for generations).

It's free and online. If you'd like to join, the link's below:

I'd love to hear your thoughts after the talk too :)

Hi guys! So I've been practicing permaculture for more than a year now here in the Philippines, and one thing I kept running into was how disconnected certain content is (like seed saving) from the broader permaculture conversation online. That's actually part of why I spent the last year building Mycelium — it's a platform with curated permaculture content for people just starting out.

Site: mycelium-learn.com

Right now it has:

• 60+ curated permaculture videos
• Beginner guides and PDC courses (varying regions)
• A live Events page with online and in-person workshops
• Bi-weekly newsletter (new events, post-event recaps, newly added content)

One of our partners, Baganihan Collective, is hosting a free online talk on seed sovereignty this May 23. The speaker is Lee Hizola — she's trained with the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance, has worked with indigenous seed networks across Southeast and South Asia including in militarized zones, and has pushed for seed commons at the UN level. She talks about seeds as cultural memory and political territory.

Free, online, 8 PM Singapore Time, May 23. Register here: https://mycelium-learn.com/events

Would love to hear your thoughts on the platform too!
