Description

Rahamim Ecological Learning Centre is a beautiful heritage building set amid established grounds, perched on 'St Josephs Mount', overlooking Bathurst city. Formerly known as 'Logan Brae', this grand building has been a family home, a nunnery and a Mercy and Justice Centre over the years. Rahamim co-ordinates an extensive workshop program alongside its ongoing work with refugees, the UN council on climate change, and the provision of ecological resources for the wider Bathurst community.

Reading List

Prior to attending your course, you might like to take a look at our ever-expanding reading list,a bunch of recommended and practical texts on Permaculture, sustainable agriculture and community resilience.

None of these texts are pre-requisite for our courses, we just like to be able to provide suggestions on background reading, in case you're champing at the bit to get going.


"Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted & thoughtful observation rather than protracted & thoughtless labour; & of looking at plants & animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single-product system."
