Water: Cycles, Catchment, Ecology, Conservation, TreatmentĮarthworks, Pond Construction, & Water Storage Reading the Landscape and Pattern Recognition Pattern Languages in Culture and the Landscape Principles and Ethics of Permaculture Designĭesign Methodologies and Site Analysis & Assessment The whole-systems design thinking outlined in the course will give participants the tools to re-design and improve their surroundings from gardens, farms and homes, to livelihoods, relationships and communities. Putting Permaculture into practice, the course concludes with students working in teams to create their own permaculture site design. Utilizing these sites as a living classroom, the class will mix lectures and hands-on work, exploring design solutions for both temperate and tropical regions. This is the second annual course offered in conjunction with the Brave Earth community and Finca Luna Nueva. The course covers the core Permaculture Design curriculum and emphasizes creating diverse multi-functional human landscapes based on ecological patterns. Join our diverse team of permaculture instructors led by Hugo Soto and Scott Gallant of Porvenir Design for this life-changing 2-week experience. This course is applicable to anyone with an interest in designing resilient and regenerative futures as well as professionals in the fields of architecture, planning, ecology, education, farming and community development.

By implementing permaculture we're creating new systems for the way we grow our food and steward the land that are in harmony with Nature. Permaculture is a set of design principles centered around whole systems thinking using the patterns found in Nature.
