Design for sustainable Living - Now!

This weekend I completed my Permaculture Design Course, a fantastic experience. I met some really great people – those teaching on the course, people we met on various visits (including OrganicLea, Growing Communities, Wholewoods, Soteriologic) and those fellow travellers attending. I’d like to send out a big thank you to everybody, many new friendships have been formed over the last few weeks, and long may they continue.

I did the course with Naturewise in North London, and I highly recommend them. They are running more courses in 2007:


Introductory Weekends:

"provide a taste of what permaculture has to offer you and others both in theory and practice"

Holland Park 27/28 January

Hornsey Rise 31 March/1 April

Hornsey Rise 28/29 April

Hornsey Rise 26/27 May

Hornsey Rise 30 June/1 July

Hornsey Rise 25/26 August

Full Accredited Permaculture Design Course:

7 alternate weekends starting 1/2 September 2007

I feel that the alternate weekend approach is much more successful than the "2 weeks away" approach which is how many other PDC courses run. It is certainly easier to fit into working life, but it also provides time for reflection and for ideas to bed down, for new queries and confusions to be raised and answered.
