Think like a Tree: online group programme April/ May 2025

We associate woodlands, forests and other natural ecosystems with resilience, longevity and harmony, but often struggle to experience these in our own lives.

By exploring principles derived from nature, this programme will guide you step-by-step through a design cycle that can be used for a wide range of personal circumstances – relationships, health, wellbeing, leisure and work.

You may want to make a significant change, some small improvements, or just want to be more content or effective in your everyday life, and whatever your circumstances this course has something to offer.

This programme comprises three full day sessions with optional activities to do at home.  During the programme you will be given tools and resources to be able to build up a design that is personal to you to complete after the course is finished.  All course materials are provided and you will go away with a toolkit of tools and principles that can be used again and again.

Your design is a stand-alone project for your own use, or can be used as a design towards the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design, and/or the Think like a Tree facilitator programme.

Tutors are Sarah Spencer (author of Think like a Tree: the natural principles guide to life) and Milly Carmichael, facilitator
