Join us for a beautiful, powerful, nature-connected full Permaculture Design Course in the Fyksesund sea fjord, Norway this September.
We are excited to host Peter Cow from Cornwall, England alongside assistant teacher Eirik from Hardanger. Peter and Eirik will combine their skills and experience from both Northern, Temperate and Mediterranean ecosystems and climatic conditions and will put emphasis on social permaculture as well as food forests and homestead growing, with lots of hands on and practicals during the course, including making living compost fences!
If you are seeking inspiration and a new, more holistic way of managing your land, your life, your work, your family… this course will skill you up to better navigate the uncertain times we live in, helping you make choices and designs for more resilience, community and abundance in your life.
The Course
Peter and Eirik will share their wide knowledge and experience as well as their creative teaching techniques to guide us through the principles of permaculture, gaining a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural resources for our own sustenance while restoring and taking care of the earth. Theory, group exercises and hands on projects are well combined through this 14 day course. In the end personal projects of the participants or of the site are put into the final designs and are worked out thoroughly by participants working in small groups..
Eirik will share his hands-on experience of transforming the farm and its buildings into a family permaculture farm, and designing the landscape and the social systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Eirik’s choices on different aspects of the project, and reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations.
As Peter is a certified teacher with the Permaculture Association Britain, this course is fully certified by PAB.
The Venue
Hardanger Wilderness School/Alvastien Permaculture farm focuses on teaching really sustainable development, exploring environmental challenges and deep ecology, held by the presence of nature, and a desire to meet it with the curiosity of a child.
Permaculture has transformed Alvastien from a traditional small farm to a permaculture farm that functions as a living laboratory for sustainable lifestyle and close-to-nature experiences.
Recently Alvastien permaculture farm is moving into a new concept – from sustainable family life and forest garden, to wilderness life: how to live with the forest garden and how to contribute to the land, working with volunteers and organizations.
It all begins down by the fjord and the deep waters, then up through layers upon layers of deciduous forest and succession through the zones, until we get up into the mountains, where the full wilderness prevails.
The house and farm are a development center for alternative lifestyles – a workshop where you can do natural crafts, classrooms with libraries, and spaces to study and sleep. Otherwise, the classroom is outside in the garden, and in nature in its northern maritime magic.
