Suburban Permaculture Design and Organic Living Course

[Guest guest]

Greetings friends,

 

I wanted to write to let you know about this summer's Urban and

Suburban Permaculture Design Certification course with Common

Circle Education in downtown Eugene, Oregon - July 10th - 25th:

--> http://www.commoncircle.com/permie

 

With the news of peak oil, environmental destruction and economic

challenges in the air, permaculture offers tremendous solutions

that are simple to implement through re-localization and looking

back to how humans have lived sustainably for centuries.

 

Starting by learning the lessons from the garden with some of the

world's most renowned organic farming experts, we will then look

at how to apply what we learned from the soil and the water to

building sustainable, lasting institutions.

 

During the workshop, we will talk about:

 

* Principles of Permaculture and Sustainable Design

* Smart Design through Careful Site Analysis

* Recognizing Patterns of Natural and Human Systems

* Reading the Land & Understanding Natural Cycles

* Soil regeneration and Land Restoration

* Food Forests, Trees & Garden Design

* Water Harvesting, Conservation, and Graywater System Design

* Renewable Energy and Appropriate Technology

* Natural Building Design

* Waste Recycling and Treatment

* Aquaculture and Animals

* Agroforestry and Forest Gardening

* Useful Plants and Planting Strategies

* Patterns of Settlement

* Cooperative Economics, Money & Financial Systems

* Designing Sustainable Cities through Sustainable Economies

" My experience in the course was invaluable.  I find myself with a

new permaculture lens that I can put on at will, and see the world

around me in a way that I feel leads to making more conscious

decisions and living better in harmony with Mother Gaia. "

- Deborah F.,

 

This workshop is an incredible opportunity to have fun and learn

practical skills you can apply in the real world in your own home

and backyard, or in your wider community.

 

You’ll learn how to create sustainable, thriving human systems,

from green houses and organic gardens, to local micro-economies

and communities, using sustainable design principles that are

applicable to every human system, from businesses, communities,

and cities to personal relationships.

 

This is a dramatically expanded version of a normal 72-hour course,

with a significant focus on social permaculture and urban-sub-urban

solutions.   The price includes all meals, lodging & transportation

to all the powerful site visits. Common Circle Education is the

leading ecological design and holistic living school with courses

in Oregon, Hawaii and California; our teachers are some of the

most well-known leaders of the sustainability, organic food and

permaculture movements.

 

You only need to put down a $95 deposit to hold your spot in the

course with the remainder being billed in several equal monthly

payments!  

 

Please visit www.commoncircle.com for more information about

this course as well as our Sustainability in Motion Bicycle Tours

With much gratitude and love,
