Weekend Urban Permaculture Design Course - Berkeley
"My experience in the course was invaluable. ÂI find myself with a
new permaculture lens that I can put on at will, and see the world
around me in a way that I feel leads to making more conscious
decisions and living better in harmony with the earth."
- Deborah F., Permaculture Course Graduate

This permaculture program focuses specifically on urban and
suburban solutions (rather than rural agriculture); and since
the most abundant resource in a city is people, we also heavily
integrate community permaculture. However our courses follow
and build on the standard curriculum laid out by Bill Mollison.
With the news of peak oil, environmental destruction and economic
challenges in the air, permaculture offers tremendous solutions
that are simple to implement through re-localization and looking
back to how humans have lived sustainably for centuries.

Starting by learning the lessons from the plant oasis with some
of the world's most renowned organic farming experts, we will
then look at how to apply what we learned from the soil and the
water to building sustainable, lasting institutions.
"Although the problems of the world are growing increasingly more
complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple" - Bill Mollison
During the workshop, we will talk about:
* Principles of Permaculture and Sustainable Design
* Smart Design through Careful Site Analysis
* Recognizing Patterns of Natural and Human Systems
* Reading the Land & Understanding Natural Cycles
* Soil regeneration and Land Restoration
* Food Forests, Trees & Proper Design
* Water Harvesting, Conservation, and Grey Water System Design
* Renewable Energy and Appropriate Technology

You'll learn how to create sustainable, thriving human systems,
from green houses and organic gardens, to local micro-economies
and communities, using sustainable design principles that are
applicable to every human system, from businesses, communities,
and cities to personal relationships.
Upon successful completion of this course and meeting the
requirements, you'll leave with an internationally recognized
Permaculture Design Certificate as the course will build upon
the standard 72-hour permaculture curriculum.
Common Circle Education is the leading ecological design and
sustainable living school with courses in Oregon, Hawaii and
California; our instructors are some of the most well-known
leaders of the sustainability, organic food and permaculture
