This PDC will be lead by Rhamis Kent, a certified trainer for the Permaculture Research Institute (PRI) of Australia, who joins forces with our regular team; veteran facilitator Tichafa Makovere (SIED), of Zimbabwe, and Alex McCausland, Strawberry Fields Eco Lodge’s director. Rhamis’ experience of applying PC in the technologically advanced western setting, complemented by his background in advanced technical engineering, joins forces with Tichafa’s local knowledge and traditional African wisdom to produce a team which covers the needs of those looking to practice Permaculture across a the spectrum of conditions. This PDC is however of particular relevance for those interested in rural development and indigenous communities in Africa and the wider 3rd world. The focus is on appropriate technology, soil and water harvesting, indigenous knowledge systems and Permaculture in schools. Schools are a key focus point for the communities and a chance to influence the coming generation to shift away from the mentality of dependence on aid towards self sufficiency and sustainable resource use.

Permaculture starts with nature connection.

Permaculture is designing sustainable systems, modelled on nature. Re-connecting with nature to better understand her is an essential first step.

Earth Ways is working together with Lusi Alderslowe, Greg Sommer and other professional trainers to offer a two week intensive workshop near Forres.

Learn about natural systems and deepen your understanding of Permaculture Design, Forest Gardening and ecosystems. You will also have the opportunity to spend some time foraging, relaxing and exploring the beautiful Findhorn river and beach, the Findhorn Foundation and discovering the magnificent wildlife present in this stunning part of Scotland.

This practical course will bring the possibility of significant and positive life changes. Although permaculture is most commonly thought about in connection with gardening & farming, its principles, ethics and design methods can be adapted and used in each individual's own work, interests and home to bring about a more harmonious & sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture offers a perspective on all aspects of building a sustainable future. Permaculture encourages us to use our individual skills, knowledge and interests, whilst drawing on traditional wisdom, science and our innate ability to observe and learn from the world around us.

Course participants will be awarded the Permaculture Association (Britain)'s internationally recognised Certificate in Permaculture Design.

This course provides a great opportunity to “get away from it all” and practice permaculture design in a beautiful and historic dry-lands environment. The topics we cover could help you improve your quality of life and the well-being of those around you.

We encourage creative thinking and learning from natural systems. We will explore the methods and tools that permaculture designers use to make sense of challenging and confusing situations. Working with experienced practitioners, you will learn how to design in any climate zone and at any scale. You will build your knowledge and gain a thorough grounding in the skill of Permaculture Design.

We do this in a relaxed and reflective way and, at the end of the course, you will be able to carry out your first piece of Permaculture design work.
