Permaculture is a designed process based on whole systems thinking and reflective patterns found in nature. Join us for an intensive introduction to permaculture principles, ethics, lifestyle, and sustainable practices. Students in this class will dig deep and discuss the needs, goals, and design options of an ecologically sustainable lifestyle. See actual working models of permaculture while defining your own adaptations for future resiliency. Presentations and discussions will show the skills that make for sustainable food production and resource independence. Philosophical issues, group dynamics, and economic, community, and personal transition will be among the challenging and engaging topics discussed. / Open to students ages 16 and above.
