Our course is unique. and remains one of the only PDCs globally which has this focus. It takes the classic Permaculture Design Course as a starting point, but has been created with a specifically creative focus exploring how permaculture design can be used to deepen creative practice and to bring a new ethical basis to projects, particularly in relation to ecology, natural systems and regenerative cultures. The next cohort of the course runs from Wednesday 10th September 2025 to Saturday 8th August 2026 It includes 60 hours of live online sessions delivered as 1 x 3 hour session per month and 1 x 2 hour session per month.
