PERMACULTURE DESIGN WORKSHOP TO BE HELD
IN PARAGUAY
Dan and Cynthia Hemenway, editors and publishers of The
International Permaculture Solutions Journal, will lead an intensive
Permaculture Design Workshop Aug. 10 through 20, 1998, near
Guarambarč, Paraguay. The workshop includes sections on
ecological design principles, design application of appropriate
technologies, and economic, social and ethical considerations in
Permaculture design. Themes treated include energy, nutrient
cycles, cultivated systems, potential catastrophes, water, buildings,
alternative economics and bioregionalism.
Students will form teams and design the course site, a small farm.
The design will integrate human activity with the contour, soil, solar
energy, and water flows of the site to provide water, food, shelter,
energy, and other patterns supportive of the residents. All lessons
and activities will focus on the design process for this site. Limited
scholarships are available. Child care can be arranged with advance
notice. Send SASE for a preregistration packet to: Stelvio Ravasio
& Brigitt Marques, Correo Guarambarč, Manuel Dominguez 592,
