PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Permaculture is not just an approach to sustainable living—it is a way of seeing, thinking and of understanding ourselves as organisms deeply rooted in the matrix of planet Earth. Permaculture Design:

• Provides a new model for economic development.

• Addresses the major social justice and environmental issues of our times from a whole systems perspective.

• Is a worldwide movement that is helping to regenerate local ecologies and economies.

In this inspiring weekend, Andrew Faust of Center for Bioregional Living draws on his 20 years as a professional educator, permaculture designer, and natural builder to give us an inspiring and heady narrative about the evolution of all life and human consciousness on Mother Earth. This is a brilliant condensation of the core of the scientific worldview with the metaphysical implications highlighted along the way—concluding with clear explanations of how to apply the principles of permaculture–even in an urban landscape.

Prior to the course, students are advised to watch The Evolution of Ecological Consciousness.
