Our programs will change your life. We consistently hear from past
participants that their choice to join our program put them on a
new path towards a healthier and profoundly more fulfilling life.
The people who join our programs are incredible -- and so are the
hosts and the work we do during our programs.

"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., Course Graduate

This course will combine critical design skills with leadership,
nature connection, and most importantly an urban focus. This
course builds upon the internationally-recognized Permaculture
Design Certification curriculum.

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.

Because of our unique focus on Urban and Suburban solutions,
our courses are radically different from most other programs,
teaching permaculture as a design science rooted in nature.
With over 50% of the world's population in cities, we must
meet people where they live with real sustainable solutions.

Starting by learning the lessons from nature 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 & Gardening 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
