  • Online London United Kingdom (map)
Learning Journey Online PDC.006.jpeg

This course is module 6 of the full Online Permaculture Design Course that we offer. It can also be taken in isolation as long as you have completed an Introduction to Permaculture Course (online or in-person).

The course covers the role that permaculture design can play in the urban and built environment, as well as the energy aspect.

We’ll start by exploring waste and what resourcefulness means in terms of converting that waste. We’ll then discover innovative social projects that are changing the way our cities and town operate.

On the course we will learn the principles of sustainable building, whether that is building from scratch or retrofitting existing homes. We’ll conclude on renewable energies and appropriate technology.

Dates and times are: Mondays May 10th, 17th and 24th from 6.30 pm to 9 pm London, UK times.

The course is thought by Michel Thill plus a guest teacher.

Embodied Ecology Retreat: Rest & Collapse
Feb 21
Embodied Ecology Retreat: Rest & Collapse

For this upcoming winter retreat ‘Rest & Collapse’, we will be exploring the embodied experience of rest as a natural stage in the continuous cycle of life and how it relates to its close relative, the often experienced collapse or break down. We give space to play with this juxtaposition of rest and collapse and discover the edges that keep us in a constant dance between rest and re-emergence, self care and engagement, our inner world and the outer worlds.

Embodied Ecology Retreat: Gift & Gratitude
Sep 29
Embodied Ecology Retreat: Gift & Gratitude

For the autumn retreat ‘Gift & Gratitude’ we explore the generosity of the natural world and our ability to receive the gifts we are offered. Autumn is a time for harvest and integration of what was given to us and what is already available, whether those are physical gifts of the land or lessons we have learnt, friends we have made or projects we have embarked on over the course of the year. We will engage in practices that allow us to stop and appreciate the little and big things that give us life, support, resource and capacity to be more fully here.
