Hi Chris. Totally with you on cantrefi. I would add a big communal roundhouse in the woods somewhere and a decent open space for dancing. I have now a solar powered workshop, oval, for wood turning and making music in, that complements our setup well. It is great to see these natural loops working out in practice. Your article reminds me of the efforts I made to encourage the organisers of camps and festivals to buy big sites, tree them up on permaculture design principles, and set them up as ongoing self sufficient living and learning life centres. Maybe I’ll fly that flag again to see if a new generation salutes it. Hwyl, Tone.
thanks for the email- solar powered workshop, wow, jealous! Sounds great.
Re cantrefi newydd, "big communal roundhouse in the woods somewhere and a decent open space for dancing" yep, essentials. I would also add in a youth shack, somewhere a bit distant from the main village where young folk could go off and do their own thing, making considerable noise if they chose!

My feelings too- could be this up and coming generation will get it...here's hoping!
