PETER'S MANDALA DESIGN 

 

 

> > AUTOCAD DESIGN AND TEXT BY BRAD FINLAYSON "I drew this plan for my close friend and mentor Peter Light. His work of genius is a 100 acre, 32 family, permaculture ecovillage completely designed using permaculture principles with guiding text, and a 250~ page essay that details of all aspects of living a harmonious life with your community, nature, and yourself. I remember when Peter first showed me his drawing of this mandala. I was in awe of its scope and beauty. We discussed in length the design and principles for not only the mandala, but the system he wrote to be lived with the ecovillage. At the time I was drafting for a sustainable building design company, and had the skills and means to replicate his drawing electronically, a long time dream of his, so it could be reproduced and distributed. Enjoy! Peter raised his family completely off grid in the 60s & 70s. He built his own cabin and grew all his own food in a remote plot of land in the then-uninhabited Sechelt inlet. After many years of theory and practice he came up with his ultimate design and treatise for all areas of living. The plan can be scaled depending on the number of families involved. "
