The Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is a 72-hour internationally recognised training engaging head, heart and hands to discover the principles and techniques of permaculture. We will explore the patterns of our predominant consumerist culture and compare them to the sustainable and regenerative patterns of the natural world. We will not only apply those patterns and principles to the example of ecosystems and the land but also communities and our own embodied selves.
"This PDC course has opened my mind up to so many possibilities, connected dots in my mind, inspired me to integrate the tools and principles to many aspects of my work and family life. This knowledge is priceless, and the course delivery has been exceptional. Thank you so much."
