Advanced Permaculture Design Course
Community Organizing
How
How we enact permaculture socially is as important as what we build. How we empower ourselves and others to work collaboratively while embodying the core ethics of permaculture makes a difference in the outcomes of our work.
A Better Toolbox
We will look at how systems thinking can improve our social designs as well as put more tools for social design in your toolbox.
Based on Experience
With decades of experience in the permaculture world, community organizing, and empowerment of groups across broad fields of resonance, the teaching team will guide and support the design and tweaking of your project based on a vision of a better world.
