PERMACULTURE AS TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION
In my twenties, I studied at Schumacher College and the integrated way of learning in community was absolutely inspiring and transformative.  I have since taught at the College a number of times. The head heart and hands learning experience that I experienced at the College as a young woman is what I weave into the fabric of the face-to-face courses I create and the Permaculture Educators Program online.

Permaculture is education for one planet living and through the course you become immersed in all kinds of skills and cultivate connections that support the transition to regenerative ways of being. The world needs more permaculture teachers everywhere sharing local ways, and working toward a climate-safe future through design, resilience and connection.  I invite you to join the Permaculture Educators Program with others from 6 continents to explore what that might look like and how you can make the change. This is a comprehensive online course. That includes the Permaculture Design Certificate and online Permaculture Teacher Certificate. In addition to modules for creating a permaculture livelihood.
