Berkeley Weekend Urban Permaculture Course - Big News

[Guest guest]

Hello friends,

 

We've said it before - we're committed to changing the world

by making permaculture training accessible to absolutely

everyone. With some of the most well-known instructors in

the world and classes in three states, Common Circle Education

is the nation's leading ecological design school. But none

of that will matter to our goal of changing the world unless

we make our courses accessible to absolutely everyone who wants

to take them.

 

So today we are absolutely thrilled to announce that we are now

offering our next 12-Sunday Urban Permaculture Design Certificate

training in Berkeley, CA for just $400/person when you bring

a friend with you and sign up before May 15th. (Compare that to

$1000+ for many similar weekend programs!). In addition, payment

plans are available! That's correct - we've brought the price

down to just $400 for the entire 12-day course.

 

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 the earth. "

- Deborah F., Permaculture 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

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.

 

Upon successful completion of this course and meeting the

requirements, you'll leave with an internationally recognized

Permaculture Design Certificate as the course will build upon

the standard 72-hour permaculture curriculum.

 

This course being offered at our two campuses -- in

Eugene, OR as an intensive two-week course from July 10-25th;

and on Sundays in Berkeley, CA from June 27th through
