Course summary

See the world differently with Permaculture!

Join us for a transformative two-day weekend course designed for anyone seeking meaningful change; whether you're starting a new project or chapter in your life, looking to deepen your connection with nature, or wanting to be part of a supportive, like-minded community.

Permaculture is a powerful approach that can be applied across all areas of life; from growing food, to home design, shifting your livelihood, and sustainable business planning. It’s about working with nature’s patterns, not against them.
 

Over the weekend, you'll explore:

  • What permaculture is and its origins
  • Core ethics and principles
  • An introduction to the permaculture design process
  • Tools, real-life examples, and hands-on applications

You'll have the chance to put theory into practice with accessible, urban-focused activities; plus time working outdoors in the beautiful Secret Garden.

  • Learn from Nature: Understand natural patterns and processes and how to design systems that can be applied to various aspects of life
  • Feel Deeply Connected: with yourself, your community, and the natural world
  • Collaborate & Share: Reflect, plan, and implement strategies that help accelerate natural regeneration
  • Hands-On Learning: Get involved in practical activities which apply the principles to real-world scenarios

Through group work, games, discussion, video, and time in nature, you’ll gain tools and inspiration to bring permaculture into your everyday life.
