This practical, intensive course offers the possibility of significant and positive life changes. Merging permaculture design with nature awareness practices, it's a unique chance to deepen your understanding of permaculture on a solid foundation of nature connection. The two approaches form a powerful synergy for developing your knowledge of place and working with the natural world.

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.
