Online Introduction to Permaculture
This online course will give you an holistic overview of the basic theory and practical application of how permaculture can be used in what you do, from gardening to how to integrate it into your personal life and use it to support and work with communities. Although this is a standard Introduction To Permaculture course, I intergrate how to focus on using permaculture design with community groups and organisations.
The course is realtime and includes home practice activities, which support the sessions and group work. This helps you to become more familiar with permaculture and how to apply it to your individual setting. It will also support the sessions themselves as part of the reflection process.
Occasionally guest tutors are invited to share their wisdom. This makes the course experience diverse and gives more edge to participant learning. Information on who the guest tutor is will be notified nearer course dates.
