Art & Culture Creative expression, sports, ethnicity and the diversity of human societies. Environment & Infrastructure Natural ecosystems, human habitats, and the innate interplay of these core aspects of human-earth existence. Healing & Wellness From the leading edge of Western medicine to the ancient wisdom of indigenous healing practices, contributing to the fulfillment of a healthy, balanced mind-body-spirit relationship.

Governance & Law Policies and legal structures that guide the pursuit of humanity's quest towards equitable social evolution. Social Justice & Security Human rights, peacekeeping, appropriate defense, emergency relief: bringing balance and safety to society. Learning & Education From pre-school to graduate school, and beyond to life-long learning. Spirituality & Religion The many facets of our metaphysical and divine experience as humans in a living cosmos. Whole System Design Also included is the center category called Whole System Design. This is where the synthesis of all sectors comes into an integral, comprehensive wholeness. It is included as the "one" in the center since the purpose of the Synergy Center is to engender social synergy by maximizing the interrelatedness of all of the parts into a new level of whole system design. Organizations and individuals that are working within an integral viewpoint can post their projects and services in this category. Our vision of the Synergy Center is for it to become a robust, complex-adaptive organizing framework with multiple levels of sub-directories within each of the twelve basic categories. == PERMACULTURE FLOWER == The permaculture journey begins with the Ethics and Design Principles and moves through the key domains required to create a sustainable culture. The spiral evolutionary path joins together these domains, initially at a personal and local level, and then proceeding to the collective and global level. Some of the specific fields, design systems and solutions that have been associated with the wider view of permaculture are listed below. == Land & Nature Stewardship == Bio-intensive gardening Forest gardening Seed saving Organic agriculture Biodynamics Natural Farming Keyline water harvesting Holistic Rangeland Management Natural Sequence Farming Agroforestry Nature-based forestry Integrated aquaculture Wild harvesting & hunting Gleaning == Building == Passive solar design Natural construction materials Water harvesting & Waste Reuse Biotechture Earth sheltered construction Natural disaster resistant construction Owner building Pattern Language == Tools & Technology == Reuse & creative recycling Hand Tools Bicycles and electric bikes Efficient & low pollution wood stoves Fuels from organic wastes Wood Gasification Bio-char from forest wastes Co-generation Micro-hydro & small scale wind Grid-tied renewable power generation Energy storage Transition engineering == Education & Culture == Home Schooling Waldorf education Participatory arts and music Social ecology Action Research Transition culture == Health & Spiritual Well-Being == Home birth & Breast feeding Complementary & Wholistic Medicine Yoga, Tai Chi & other body/mind/spirit disciplines Spirit of place, indigenous cultural revival Dying with dignity == Finances & Economics == Local and regional currencies Carpooling, Ride sharing & Car share Ethical Investment & Fair Trade Farmers markets & Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) WWOOFing & similar networks Tradable Energy Quotas Life Cycle Analysis & Emergy Accounting == Land Tenure & Community Governance == Cooperatives & Body Corporates Cohousing & Ecovillages Native Title and traditional use rights Open Space Technology & Consensus Decision Making == Permaculture Ethics & Design Principles (as per David Holmgren, see also http://uniteddiversity.com/permaculture-principles ) == Ethics: Care of the Earth Care of People Fair Share Principles: 1. Observe & interact 2. Catch & store energy 3. Obtain a yield 4. Apply self-regulation & accept feedback 5. Use & value renewable resources & services 6. Produce no waste 7. Design from patterns to details 8. Integrate rather than segregate 9. Use small & slow solutions 10. Use & value diversity 11. Use edges & value the marginal 12. Creatively use & respond to change
