Cities, Energy & Shelter - Module 6 of the Online Permaculture Design Course
- Online London United Kingdom (map)
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: Saturday March 5th, 10.00 am to 12.30 pm and 4.30 pm to 7.00 pm, UK times
The course is thought by Michel Thill plus a guest teacher.

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.

6 weekends between April 27th and October 13th 2024 at Global Generation’s Story Garden in Central 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 of participants 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 and our own embodied selves.
For this upcoming summer retreat ‘Engage & Connect’, we will be exploring the nature of our engagement and our intrinsic embodied connection to life. Through our actions in the world we create relationships and affirm our ecological belonging. We will cultivate presence to ourselves and meet the land and people from there. The venue in Tuscany gives us the opportunity to bring the embodied principles and practices into engagement with the land and the local people through volunteering activities in the community.
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.
