Online
Permaculture
Design Course .This is the most rigorous
Permaculture Design Course available anywhere in the world. This
PDC
is a "distance learning" experience,
which utilizes online
discussions via email together with directed readings and
experiential learning. This course will be useful to people who
want
to become professional
permaculture designers and to people who want
to learn how to design their own properties and help create local
permaculture communities. The 15th
cycle begins
Jan.
8, 2012.
Elfin Permaculture offers a variety of ways to
take this course.
The Purpose of Permaculture Training
Permaculture design integrates people into Nature's design for
the
bioregion as a whole so that it is respected, enhanced and
strengthened. People receive shelter, energy, food, water,
income,
community and aesthetic as well as spiritual fulfillment as part
of
the permaculture design, all within a balanced biological
community.
Permaculture design students learn to make practical
recommendations to develop the natural potential of a site. They
also
learn to identify the source and availability
f every resource
required to implement the permaculture design. A time table for
orchestrating the unfolding of the design and using each stage of
implementation to prepare
for the next helps to assure practical and
efficient results. Thus the design integrates the goals of the
Earth
and the people in that place.
Workshops, Courses And Other Training
Elfin Permaculture offers a variety of formats as learning
experiences in permaculture. Workshops include weekends in which
participants begin a permaculture design and
intensive 10-day and
two-week programs where the group develops a draft permaculture
design for the site at hand. The three-week Permaculture Design
Course includes
more than 100 hours of instruction and field work and
a very intensive group design project. We certify graduates of the
courses as Permaculture Trainees. Further training is
available
through Elfin Permaculture's Advanced Permaculture Training (APT)
individualized program in which the student uses permaculture
principles to design his/her
educational experience. Elfin
Permaculture offers a Permaculture Design Correspondence Course
online for individuals, couples or groups. The course runs up to
six
months
and involves reading assignments, student reports, class
discussions, and a set of instructors posts. You can get more
information from the course protocol. The online course
is suited for
people who want a particularly thorough grounding in permaculture
and
for those who cannot attend a live course for various reasons. The
student practicum
(full permaculture design report) can be done at
one of our live 10-day design intensives, especially helpful for
the
student who needs some face to face contact with the instructor.
