Permaculture Weekend – Sustainable Building, Energy & Communities

Permaculture Weekend – Sustainable Building, Energy & Communities
17-19 May

If you have attended an permaculture introductory course in the past and want to extend your knowledge, or for those studying for their Permaculture Diploma, this weekend will cover all the key aspects of sustainable building and refurbishment, renewable energy and eco-project development, with the first day of the weekend being based at The Pines Calyx, one of the UK’s most outstanding examples of green building design and construction. It will cover the issues at the scale of the family and home, the community and the bio-region, considering how we can make out lives more sustainable at each of these levels. It will consider ‘appropriate economics’ and ‘appropriate education’, as well as looking at more down to earth subjects, such as compost toilets! For those who are staying at Rippledown for the whole weekend, there will be extra discussions, videos or other activities in the evenings, adding to the enjoyment and enriching experience the core course material provides.
