Using a variety of learning techniques and strategies this workshop will present Permaculture in all of its applications. Class time will consist of traditional lectures, guest presentations, group discussions, games, exercises photo shows, and movies. We will focus on land systems with as much hands on work and examples as possible. Many discussions and examples will be explored of possible applications in 'Invisible Structures', those social, cultural, political, and economic structures that shape much of our world today. The course will not only teach Permaculture, it will also model it by its structure and the environment we create together during the course.

"........ it was the classes everyone would really look forward to! More useful information than could even be absorbed, even in the 100+ hours of classroom time. It would have seemed overwhelming had Rico not been such an experienced and patient educator. His teaching style was what I really appreciated. He engaged every student in relevant dialog and the feedback from the class flowed back into his topics smoothly. He frequently spent his personal time chatting with students, and giving advice on their projects and ideas!  The classes had a friendly and lighthearted atmosphere, and the amount of real-world hands-on work was empowering and refreshing! People who speak with passion and enthusiasm about the things they love are always very easy to listen to and Rico is no exception. I hated school before, but I happily sat in the front row and hung on his every word!"
