It is to accompany you as a resource of information in learning as you journey further down this meandering Permaculture path.

As a Student and Practitioner of Permaculture we thank you for stepping forth to help this growing movement and in the facilitation of Permaculture. We have compiled an additional DVD resource to aid in your learning process. It is our hopes that you will evolve to participating in teaching, organizing or leading a full PDC and distributing this information far and wide to help make a radical shift in our human society towards a more regenerative future.
