The Permaculture way of looking at things,everything is a gift,everything has a value,nothing should be wasted.
Permaculture is the harmonious integration of all life kingdoms into agriculturally productive ecosystems and socially just environments producing sound economic outcomes through systems management. Itis a regenerative design intention reflecting patterns in nature that seeks to build interconnections allowing for energy efficiency and abundance of yield.
In other words its ecology in action,positive responses to new opportunities as culture evolves towards anew height of consciousness.
WHO is it for?
For everybody from young to old from all backgrounds and all walks of life! In particular those wanting to lead projects of regeneration, urban agriculture, community development, and broad-scale farming. This unique opportunity to recharge and gain environmental literacy will be spent over two weeks in a natural environment with limited access to wifi and transport links. Total natural immersion is to be expected and hopefully embraced.
