Seattle Tilth is hosting Toby Hemenway in Seattle to teach a 72-hour Permaculture Design Course over six weekends May through October, 2009 at South Seattle Community College.
Permaculture uses ecological principles to create sustainable human communities that are harmoniously woven into the environment and that have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.
This certification course will give you holistic tools for food, water, and energy security; building social capital; developing a sustainable economy; and many other issues. It offers a framework for critical decision-making and right livelihood. Most students find the course life-changing and form strong new viewpoints and networks. Designers can add new qualifications to their resumes and can offer improved services to their clients. Homeowners, gardeners, and farmers learn to increase the value and productivity of their property. Real estate and development companies are able to better address the public's growing concern for the environment. Teachers learn to integrate permaculture design into their curriculum.
The lead instructor, Toby Hemenway, is the author of Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, for the last six years the best-selling permaculture book in the world. The course is adapted to a wide variety of learning styles and is presented via lecture, images, video, group discussion, exercises, and design projects. Course graduates will receive a Permaculture Design Trainee Certificate from the Permaculture Institute (USA). Guest instructors will include Brad Lancaster, Larry Santoyo, local experts, and some of the best-known permaculture teachers in the country. Download the course flier or read the press release. Or, check out this great blog about the course that we found (we don't know her!).
The cost is $900 for 12 full-day sessions, meeting at South Seattle Community College the second weekend of each month from May through October from 9am - 5:30pm each day. Some payment plans are available for six payments of $160. Please inquire for more information. To register, please download a registration form and mail it in with your payment. Thank you!
If you are serious about working for a sustainable future, this course is for you.
