Over this weekend you will learn how to apply pro-active, sustainable design techniques to your immediate environment - whether you live in a small apartment, a quarter-acre block, or a rural property.

Covering organic food production, system design (and re-design) for comfort and lower energy consumption, and ideas on how to approach a sustainable and positive community existence within your neighborhood.

In a world out of balance, we are all looking for solutions that can lead to:

• Effective ways of growing healthy, organic food in urban environments
• Regenerative farming that can both feed a family, earn an income and build soil fertility
• Retrofitting techniques for existing houses or property that results in lower energy costs and better health for its inhabitants
• Intelligent, thoughtful design principles to build sustainable lives, and sustainable communities in a world of Peak Everything

Permaculture principles, like any really good design principles, can be applied across any biosphere, any property, any landscape, any city. Permaculture is a network of well-grounded theories and techniques that, over time, result in sustainable and productive systems.

We're talking systems for living, architecture, food production, land management and community. No chemicals and no excuses. Just good, thoughtful, innovative and effective design for the needs of our species.

This course arms you with practical strategies to better care and provide for yourself, your family and the planet. A jam-packed weekend of essential knowledge, useful techniques, a site visit to an amazing school / community garden and enough information to get you all fired up to be the change you want to see in this world.
