Introduction To Permaculture

​

Course Details

​

The Living Path is working in collaboration with Northaw Community Orchard to deliver 2 of my usual 3 day, Introduction to Permaculture course. You will learn how to use Permaculture Design in your garden, home and for mental resilience. You will discover the holistic approach Permaculture offers, and have a chance to work on a practical design of your choice, incorporating the Permaculture techniques. 

​

Some of the elements you will discover on this interactive, and transformative course:

• What Permaculture is?

• Why use Permaculture?

• How to zone your garden for efficiency of use?

• Understanding energy inputs

• The importance of working with nature rather than against her

• How to use Permaculture for mental health

​

You will meet others who are sharing this journey with you, to make change to their lives, towards a better future. There will be a brief introduction to social Permaculture, and my coaching programme ALA, and FEAR workshop.  This is a residential course at the orchard, set in a residential, but rural location.

​

The course class room is a beautifully homemade yurt, which looks out on to the orchard. Sitting behind the yurt are the orchards bees. If you wish to stay over night, please bring your own tent. There is a compost toilet with sink onsite. Both the yurt and toilet are surrounded by the orchard and nature reserve.

 

The orchard is located in the village of Northaw approximately 13 miles north of central London. Cuffley is approximately 3 miles from the orchard, with shops, supermarket and a coffee shop. There are one or two really nice, local walks and there may even be a chance to meet the Seed Sistas https://seedsistas.co.uk/garden-projects/
