| Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course with Bob Corker, Kay Baxter and Dan Palmer, at PRI NZ (Koanga Institute), Wairoa, New Zealand |
| Starts 01 September 2013 and runs for 13 day(s) |
| We are on the cusp of major changes as the slow decline in cheap oil impacts on our growth based globalised economy. Already the effects are starting to bite in some countries. Our challenge over the coming decade will be to create new systems that are not so reliant on fossil fuels and the economics of growth. The challenge is one of redesign of our economy and our ecology. This redesign is far more necessary and a far greater job than personal initiatives, although these too are vital. Permaculture is a comprehensive ecological design system that addresses the 'why, how and what' and empowers individuals and communities to start this redesign now. Come and learn the 'tools' you will need to engage in the coming change, from a team who are committed to being the change we wish to see in the world. Get the positive feel of what your future could become. |
