Re-design Your Life! Re-envision The World!
Join
us on our budding permaculture farm for this two-week intensive design
course. You will observe and use the same principles that make
ecological systems self-sustaining, and learn how to apply them to
integrate homes and gardens. In addition, you will learn how to apply
these principles to energy systems, water supplies, healthy
communities, meaningful and fulfilling work, ecological economies and
global political movements.
This course weaves together the
principles and practices of permaculture with wilderness awareness –
explore bird language, tracking and participate in activities that
deepen your awareness and intimacy with the rest of the natural world.
The program is founded upon the reality that we are nature and have an
amazing role in our watershed ecosystems.
The course will include the following:
