Hello
We wanted to remind you about several upcoming permaculture designcourses happening at our schools in Berkeley and Davis as well as the intensive course in Oregon. Can you drop us a quick e-mail back to let us know if you'll be joining us for one of these amazing courses?
Course: Urban Permaculture Design Certification http://commoncircle.com/permie
Dates: Berkeley, CA (Sundays 10am-6pm) June 27 - Sep 12 (Early registration coming up!) Berkeley, CA (Monday + Wednesday 6-9pm)Aug 30 - Nov 17th New format - evening-only course - will have
several optional weekend work parties.Davis, CA (Sundays 10-6) September 19 - December 5th
Eugene, OR (Intensive 16 day course)July 10 - 25th Unlike almost all other Permaculture Design Certification courses, Common Circle Education programs focus 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. Read more information: http://commoncircle.com/permie Starting by learning the lessons from nature 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. Cost: $600/by yourself - $500/each with friend regular rate: $1000/person (after July 1st) (intensive course pricing is different - see website) 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 & Gardening Design * Water Harvesting, Conservation, and Grey Water System Design * Renewable Energy and Appropriate Technology * Natural Building Design * Waste Recycling and Treatment * Aquaculture and Animals * Agroforestry and Forest Gardening * Useful Plants and Planting Strategies * Patterns of Settlement * Cooperative Economics, Money & Financial Systems * Designing Sustainable Cities through Sustainable Economies "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
