Study Permaculture Design in California or Oregon

[Guest guest]

Hello

 

Common Circle Education is thrilled to present our Weekend

Urban Permaculture Design Course taking place on twelve

consecutive *Sundays* starting June 27th in California and

as a two-week intensive in Oregon.

 

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 Grey Water 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., Course Graduate

This workshop is an incredible opportunity to have fun and learn

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

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

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