    This an opportunity to have a deep, comprehensive and hands-on learning experience that provides the foundational learning in permaculture and regenerative design as well as advanced skills, during a Internship Program with lots of hands-on permaculture application, with additional hours for advanced design practice and learning.

    · All Rates Includes Camping or shared dormitory and all Food, Plus over 15gb of Data

    · Course time will consist of traditional lectures, guest presentations, group discussions, exercises, hands-on projects, photos, movies and site visits. We will be outside and working as much as is possible and to what suits the energy level of the crew. However, there will still be times when we are in a more traditional class setting.
    While we will focus on land systems, many discussions and examples will be explored of applications in the ‘Invisible Structures’. These are the social, cultural, political, and economic structures we create as humans that powerfully shape our world today.

    · Class usually lasts from approximately 9:00 to 17:00, though we often go on until later as everyone is enjoying the work and wants to get the needfuls done.

    · The course will be conducted in English. All participants need a functional level of English in order to follow and contribute to classes, clarify doubts, collaborate in groups and present their individual design projects.

    ACCOMMODATION, FOOD, AND SITE


    SLEEPING

    · During the courses students get a chance to experience our land and permaculture site more intimately by camping on the land or staying in a shared dormitory accommodation. In a semi-wild area, we have several spots among the trees for people to pitch their tents in a beautiful natural setting surrounded by hills and forest..
    There is also the possibility for some students with their own bus/camper-van to stay on the land, although space is limited; so if you are interested in bringing a bus, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to accommodate everyone!


    FOOD

    · From the communal kitchen, we provide 3 meals per day, breakfast, lunch and dinner included in the cost of the course (except Sundays when the students are free to feed themselves!)
    Prepared with love, the food is always diverse, fresh, healthy, homemade and vegetarian.
