Free online class with Jan Bang & Jen McConachie
(held in English)
Most people come to permaculture through gardening, but it is a holistic planning system not just for producing food, but for designing lifestyles, homes, communities, governance, organisations, economy – everything!
Permaculture is about thinking like nature. Design integrated with ecology that draws on indigenous earth wisdom.
A philosophy based on the ethics of Earth care, People care & Fair Share/ Future Care.
By observing how nature works and imitating ecosystems, we can meet human needs in a way which regenerates instead of degrading nature.
In this class we will explore how we can rewire our minds to think like nature.
How nature’s wisdom can be applied our inner landscapes, organisations, activism, projects and relationships.
How we can design regenerative lifestyles, wellbeing and resilient, thriving communities.
After the class, you will also be able to hear more about the Permaculture Design Certificate course to be held in English at Dharma Mountain summer 2023.
