With a keynote day-long lecture with buddhist eco-philosopher
Dr. Joanna Macy, PhD and other truly amazing instructors, this course will be taking place within a national park in San Francisco, using the city as our classroom! This course will combine critical permaculture skills with leadership, nature connection, and most importantly an urban focus. This course 
builds upon the internationally-recognized Permaculture Design
Certification curriculum.

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.
Our courses focus heavily on suburban and urban solutions -- this is an important distinction from virtually most other courses which are largely rural and agricultural-focused. With over 50% of the world's population in cities, we must meet people where they live with real sustainable solutions.
