Permaculture Design & Regenerative Leadership Certificate Program

Our permaculture course is an experiential intensive teaching design by recognizing patterns and reclaiming your connection with nature.  Consistently ranked by past participants as a profoundly transformational experience inspiring through practical solutions grounded in nature. 

Experience sustainable living and learn practical skills for your home, career, business or community. Learn to design nature-inspired, resilient and truly sustainable thriving systems – composting bathrooms, water-catchment systems, greenhouses, organic gardens, green buildings, eco-villages and communities.

Permaculture is a sustainable design science rooted in natural patterns. By observing the way nature works and then applying the same patterns and principles, we learn to design truly sustainable, extremely resilient systems.

Permaculture is what our ancestors instinctively knew when they lived in villages, made their own things, and grew their own food. It is the art of respecting nature and working with it, rather than against it, to cultivate land, plants, animals and people by fostering mutually beneficial relationships between them. It is also is a philosophy, one that changes you from the inside, as you see that there is a way to heal the earth, live in harmony with nature, and create abundance we can share.

“Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.”
– Bill Mollison
