Introduction to Permaculture Course

Our Introduction to Permaculture course introduces permaculture as an approach to designing more sustainable and regenerative ways of living and working on the Earth. It will give a good grounding in the core elements of a permaculture approach including the ethical framework and values that underpin it, the principles from nature that it draws on, and a design framework for applying them.

Attendees will be encouraged to explore and consider the issues that matter to their own life and work, as well as offered plenty of practical examples of permaculture in action. The course includes 2 days at an inspirational site where Steve will show you what he and Christine have done and how it all works in practice. It is relevant for those with a general interest in sustainable living and design, as it can also serve as a starting point to the full Permaculture Design Course and beyond.
