Permaculture Action Courses

Our permaculture courses teach both hands-on techniques and social tools that participants can use to create greater connection and sustainability in their life, today and for future generations. Permaculture is a design science for regenerative ecological systems and holistic socio-economic structures that mimic nature. In addition to methods and skills for designing and implementing physical systems, these courses offer methods for community organizing to bring visions and dreams of a better world into reality.
