This two-day course integrates the patterns, principles and design from the work of Think Like a Tree and integrates Biomimicry, Systems Thinking and Permaculture Design to help you find your purpose and define how you can make your effective contribution to a more liveable planet. 

By exploring patterns and principles derived from deep observation of the living world, this programme will introduce and get you started with a design cycle that can be applied to a wide range of personal circumstances and intentions. 

You may want to make a significant change, some small improvements, or just want to be more content or effective in your everyday life. Or you may be wanting to really dig in to finding your purpose. Whatever your circumstances this course has something to offer. 

The programme comprises two full day sessions with optional additional activities. During the programme you will be given tools and resources to be able to confidently make a start on a design that is personal to you to complete after the course is finished. 

All course materials are provided and you will go away with a toolkit that can be used again and again. 

The course is held at the beautiful Willows Lakeside Retreat in Pulborough, West Sussex on the border of the South Downs National Park. This eco glamping site is situated around a lake, there are islands and bridges, firepits and hammocks. Alive with kingfishers and owls, dragonfly's and glow worms, the Willows is a true nature reserve. 

There is an optional third day, inclusing visit to nearby Knepp Rewilding Project. 

Numbers are limited to 12 participants for a relaxed and personal experience.
