Permaculture Design Certification Course
Dipersembahkan Oleh: Rancho Mastatal
Putting Permaculture into practice, the course concludes with students working in teams to create their own permaculture site design. This course is applicable to anyone with an interest in designing resilient and regenerative futures as well as professionals in the fields of architecture, planning, ecology, education, farming and community development. The whole-systems design thinking outlined in the course will give participants the tools to re-design and improve their surroundings; from gardens, farms and homes, to livelihoods, relationships and communities.
Please note that permaculture is a principle and ethic based design science. This course does not include metaphysical, spiritual, nor religious topics and practices.
This is not an ECHO event but is posted here for the benefit of our network members who are interested in permaculture.
