The benefits of thinking outside the box... - FX Magazine
“I’ll admit that at first I felt the weight of cynicism dragging me down when I contemplated applying the utopian philosophy of permaculture to the hard-bitten, high-speed world of regeneration – as a Londoner, my primary concern. But, by the end of the day, I really did believe that a new way of designing could be utilised by and for urban communities, through permaculture principles.”
We are nature is a day workshop exploring the nature of our being through meditation, playful movement, guided dialogue and connecting to the more-than-human.
6 weekends between April 24th and October 10th 2027 at Global Generation’s Paper Garden in Canada Water, London.
The Permaculture Design Course is a 72-hour often life-changing experience, accredited by the UK Permaculture Association. Over the period of 6 weekends we will explore practical and creative solutions for building resilient communities and designing abundant eco-systems.
The Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is a 72-hour internationally recognised training engaging head, heart and hands to discover the principles and techniques of permaculture. We will explore the patterns of our predominant consumerist culture and compare them to the sustainable and regenerative patterns of the natural world. We will not only apply those patterns and principles to the example of ecosystems and the land but also communities and our own embodied selves.
