Inspiration to run Permaculture courses
Lea Harrison ran a teacher training course and advanced design course in our house in 1990. This started most of the UK permaculture teaching. This was a great course.
Later I participated in a creative teaching course with Skye. This really inspired me and has been the stimulant for my teaching technique.
Whole body learning enables the permaculture principles to become an integral part of your life.
My great friend and co teacher Mill brings his knowledge and skill of growing food for many years and living a thoughtful and simpler life. He always adds his wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for life to our joint courses.
This course shows a way to live a mindful life, following an ecological design system that integrates all components of the ecosystem in a holistic approach to sustainable and regenerative living. Taught by our returning leading teachers Rod Everett and Mill Millichap - our 6th year!. Guest teacher Marios Desyllas (bio / homeodynamic agriculture) will also be offering discussions and support throughout.
80 hours Tuition, held in English
The course will result in a full Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC)
