Description
Learn Real, Practical Permaculture
Sustainability, Agroecology and Regeneration Across the Scales of the Individual, Community, and Society
July 21 – August 12, 2020
VerdEnergia’s 21-Day Permaculture Design Course (PDC) goes above and beyond. We offer more instruction hours, experiential learning, and subjects covered than a typical 14-day PDC, all within our beautiful and rustic ecovillage setting. Our instructors draw on an extensive 178 acres of agroforestry projects in various stages of regeneration and production for lessons in applying permaculture to large scale projects.
Our experienced teachers have thoughtfully designed a unique, engaging and effective course and curriculum. Clear, practical instruction, based on years of experience and hands-on fieldwork, help students learn about living more sustainably at the home scale. This includes a garden-to-table lifestyle, using renewable energy, greywater recycling, and green building. We place a great emphasis on making sure that what we teach includes the principles and deep ways of thinking that can be applied to any climate, anywhere in the world, including temperate or tropical. Our course also includes lessons and daily practice in mindfulness, yoga, healthy communication, and nature connection to support our personal wellbeing.
