Permaculture is a design science rooted in the observation of natural systems. Join us as we dive into the principles of permaculture and learn how to design ways of living that have the stability and resiliency of natural systems. In this class we focus on positive solutions for creating and managing systems for food, medicine, water, shelter, and more. Permaculture is a multi-disciplinary art form, drawing from the physical sciences, architecture, nutrition, the healing arts, traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), and spirituality. The ethical underpinnings that guide permaculture are simple yet powerful: take care of earth, take care of the people, and share the surplus.
