Join our experienced team of permaculture practitioners led by the Rancho Mastatal team for this annual life-changing 2-week experience. The course covers the core Permaculture Design curriculum (developed by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren) and emphasizes creating diverse multi-functional human landscapes based on ecological patterns.
Utilizing Rancho Mastatal as a living classroom, the class will mix lectures (60%) and hands-on work (40%), exploring design solutions for both temperate and tropical regions. Putting permaculture design into practice, the course concludes with a permaculture site design for a clients property.
Who should take this course?
- People who have their own land (small suburban plot all the way through to a large farm). This class will give you the tool kit to plan and implement your dreams.
- People who dream of owning land or are actively looking. The class will provide you with the skills to asses and analyze different pieces of land to make sure you get exactly what you want.
- People who are interested in living a more regenerative lifestyle.
- Professionals (eg, architects, designers, farmers, educators, community development workers, social workers etc…) who wish to deepen their knowledge in Permaculture to apply it at work or in their own projects.
This course is applicable to anyone with an interest in designing resilient and regenerative futures. 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.
