Permaculture is a holistic design system for sustainable living, creating systems for minimum effort and maximum effect. This course is one weekend per month. The first module can also be taken as a stand alone introduction, which allows you to come along and meet everyone before you commit to the rest of the course. From February to June we will be exploring all the remaining core topics of the Permaculture Design Course, which enables participants to recieve the Permaculture Association’s Internationally recognised Certificate.
Using a diverse range of different teaching styles we will find out more about
* the Permaculture Design Process: SADIMET, and the theory and practice of different design tools from mapping to turning waste into resources. This includes different opportunities to use the design tools and create an entire design in a small group.
* Permaculture ethics and principles and their application
* Themes of soil, water, plants& trees, growing your own food, the built environment, resource use, social systems and contexts.
* Different sites including the Concrete Garden, North Beachmore, Tarbert Health Centre, and others (tbc).
* Next steps on your permaculture pathway

Do you think differently about life and wonder why we waste so much stuff? Do you think about the future of the planet? Do you want to make changes, but are not sure how to start?

The revival of the Northern School in-person Permaculture Design Certificate course continues this Autumn when we will be working in partnership with Warland Farm to stage the "extensive" (12 days over 12 months) version of our course. We follow the international syllabus, but the content will reflect our surroundings in the Central Pennines.
 
As usual, the course is open to all. It is suitable for busy people in the locality and in particular for artisans and those interested in developing livelihoods and enterprises, either with family or from a community base. Throughout, there is an emphasis on learning from Nature to help us deal with the complexity and uncertainty surrounding our everyday lives.
 
Warland Farm is on the border of Lancashire and Yorkshire near Todmorden. The Farm supports a growing collective of artisans who are working with a steeply sloping hillside typical of the Upper Calder valley.
 
Our course is led by Angus Soutar who is an internationally certificated permaculture tutor. Angus has been a member of the PAB since 1990 and has now been teaching the PDC for 30 years.
 
The course starts on October 12th 2021 and more details are provided on our website.

This PDC promises to be a unique experience; Lola and Kyle teach, based on their real-life journey with Permaculture from over 10 years of experience in various climates. It will be full of energy and excitement, knowledge and skills, connections and community.

They will cover the 72 hours of coursework required to receive a Permaculture Design Certificate over the two weeks. Sessions will be taught to accommodate all learning styles, combining lectures, group discussions, visual demonstrations, hands-on participatory learning and other creative ways of teaching permaculture.

You will immerse yourselves in the community life of A Quinta. Seeing firsthand how regenerative agriculture, integrated permaculture systems and holistic design are applied and maintained. Additionally, we give space and emphasis on connecting with the self (zone 00) on personal development and self-empowerment; giving participants life-changing tools for the future.
