Over the two days we will
introduce some of the basic permaculture concepts & themes

raise our awareness of our own surroundings, land & people-scapes
begin to develop our own solutions: explore how we can create our own more abundant, self reliant, fair & ecological ways of living
& do some hands-on, practical work onsite.

We will be exploring both land based & other applications of permaculture (community, personal, economic) No prior knowledge of Permaculture is assumed, & you are welcome to bring along stories, maps & photos of your own homes, garden, farm, or community projects.

We will use a variety of learning methods; presentation, discussion, debate & questioning, hands-on practicals, learning by doing, observation, experiements & games.
